Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 48
Our Thanksgiving table for 4!
We had my Dad over and I cooked for all of us. It was so weird not having a potluck!
I also set this table. I put a goat plate out for my Mom (she was a Capricorn).
Her absence in the kitchen is the greatest grief trigger. We used to be such a good team.
Now it’s just me.
I felt her sparkle though. I’m glad we got to spend so many holidays together.
I mapped out my plan of attack.
Making a braised turkey is such a stress reliever. So easy!
Just a LITTLE cheese plate.
The spread! Sweet potatoes for my Dad. Mashed potatoes for my husband. Dinner rolls for my child.
This kid ate turkey and a dinner roll (or three).
I made an apple pie and a pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin pie for breakfast is nice.
Cooper was off of school this week. He had a craving for doughnuts so I made him these Buttermilk Farm Stand Doughnuts from my blog. They were delicious. I won the cool Mom award that day.
Waiting in line at the grocery store. I’ve been seeing daisies all week.
This week we had a bunch of trees trimmed/cut down on our property.
My week ran to the soundtrack of chainsaws.
A pep talk on the way to the garage.
This week I spent a lot of time packing up orders from my Etsy Shop.
I love writing everyone’s name on their package.
It feels like magic.
Imagining my work in other people’s hands.
The best part is when I start seeing people receive their packages and share it on their Instagram feeds.
My mantle in between seasons.
I put blueberries in my waffle.
I went for a walk on the 3rd anniversary of my Mom’s death this week.
The sparkles on the water made me happy.
I saw my friend Amanda’s name and then she texted me right after. I love those weird magical moments in life.
I added a little something in our yard.
It was a nice moment. I wish I could hug my Mom.
He might end up with hazel eyes like my Mom. Who knows!
I have some pretty flowers still growing!
These two have such a weird relationship.
He is a fan of matcha lattes.
How an only child occupies his time while his parents work from home.
Nothing better than a runny egg on good toast.
He put on my glasses. I love him.
Morning light with my boys.
Sometimes I just stare at him while he watches TV.
Family driving adventure!
We got to see the sunset.
And the moon rise.
Rosie is a basket case.
I found the tiniest sliver of light on our dining room table yesterday.
