It took most of the day to clean up from breakfast and lunch. I really loved it. I loved working with my family and preparing every thing.<brLynn Bernshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775500898599521351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845698380392147546.post-46836523439206309022012-03-08T07:27:58.737-05:002012-03-08T07:27:58.737-05:00I come from a family with 2 working parents and my...I come from a family with 2 working parents and my mom didn't cook much at all. When I first started staying home, I loved everything about making meals for my family. As the girls have gotten older & more involved in sports & other activities, it does become harder to enjoy all the cooking I'm doing.

I was cooking a big supper last night and thinking "I can see why people eat out a lot"....I was tired. <br /><br /><br />My mom worked, but she always made an evening meal and we always ate together. It WAS important.<br /><br /><br />But, she never really taught me how to cook, so before the kiddos came, it was fast food most of the time Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380432930727921469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845698380392147546.post-73361929565584866392012-03-07T22:50:11.059-05:002012-03-07T22:50:11.059-05:00I'll never forget a few years ago on a visit t...I'll never forget a few years ago on a visit to my husband's family, his Nana was commenting to me in the kitchen on how there were just so many meals, how it just didn't end. She wasn't complaining - just, you know, there are always hungry people and another meal to make! I thought it was so strange, like, she's been cooking and baking for her family and friends for YEARS, I Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659336999993455703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845698380392147546.post-24863538756390633402012-03-07T22:39:45.380-05:002012-03-07T22:39:45.380-05:00I love that you find family meals valuable.
Yes- ...I love that you find family meals valuable.<br /><br />Yes- our family meals can be crazy at times...and I wonder sometimes, why did I go to all this work for THIS??<br /><br />But, it is important because it brings everyone together. We eat dinner as a family every night. I wouldn't want it any other way. It's a time for us to re-connect, even though with 5 kids, it gets a little Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899100873713163398noreply@blogger.com
