Yesterday was Mama’s Day in our house. The Mama wanted to see Finding Dory so we all headed to the movies last night. I have to tell you I love the theater we go to. The tickets are $5.50 (opening weekend and it was after noon. Tickets before that are $2.75!) For us to get a…

Father’s Day: Standing for Something
I don’t often talk about my parents but with today being Father’s Day I had a memory lately that made me smile and think about how in some ways I really am my father’s daughter. I remember my dad and I being in the garage of our house when I was about 7 or 8…

Our Family Books
I always struggle about what to post on Sundays. We mostly have repeat dishes on the weekends or like this weekend we spend it traveling so we are eating out for all our meals. So, I have decided to make Sunday our family day for awhile. What I mean is sharing about my family and…
Chick-fil-A App
Did you know today Chick-fil-A launched an app that lets you pre-order and skip the lines? I am a Chick-fil-A Mom and we love Chick-fil-A. When we are traveling we know that if we need to make a quick stop for food that we are going to get great service, consistent quality and most of…
Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
My children do not like mayonnaise potato salad. Once in a while I can get them to eat a bite or two if I add lots of eggs and mustard to it. When I saw this recipe I knew my children would like it. There is almost no mayonnaise in it. Plus, it had the…
Small Town Living – Memorial Day Weekend
This weekend is the “official” start of tourist season in our area. The signs of summer are everywhere here. The PGA Senior Golf Tournament is in town and people are swimming in the lake already. I smelled a barbecue starting earlier this morning and see signs of graduation parties all around town. The “Bugs at…
Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops
I can’t believe that everyone was home before 8:00 pm the other night. It was such a treat for all of us to be together at 6:00 pm and cooking dinner together. That hasn’t happened in quite a while. One of my kids sets the table and gets the condiments ready while the other pours…
Our 20th Anniversary and Our 4th Anniversary
In the past four years my blog has morphed from being solely about the dinner game I have been playing with my family to something much more. It is our family relationships, how we deal with life and our adventures in how to make this life memorable for all of us. It is also the…
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff II
Ah, three more weeks. That is all we have left in this school year. Now that most of the shows are done we only have a dance recital (and its rehearsals), a cello recital and a school picnic left. Well, other than getting both kids through finals. So, I am still having us sit down…
Lion King Jr. and Another Hill Climbed
Five weeks ago I posted about my son and his audition for Lion King Jr. (click for link to original post.) I wrote about my son, his Autism and how he was cast as Scar. I have been away from blogging this weekend because this weekend he had his three performances. Friday night I sat in…
Orange Ground Turkey Noodle Bowls
As we get closer to the end of the school year time for meals is getting shorter and shorter. I have to be super organized and have our meals planned out to avoid picking up a pizza or ordering in Chinese food. Our menu for the next week includes: Tuesday: Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic and…
