Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Working Mom Reflections: Sunday Dinner With My Mom

I'm no Martha Stewart, but I do like to throw down on Sundays when I can. Like I said last week, my grandmother established a great tradition of Sunday dinners. So, when Sunday rolls around, I do feel like I've missed something if we didn't have a family dinner. Normally, I am more than comfortable with that feeling. However, today, my mother was in town. So, I had to cook. (I cooked last week too. Click here if you'd like to read about it.)


Also, she kept our kids last night and most of the day. I think that was to ensure that I'd have no excuse than to prepare dinner! ;-)

Her comment, "This is delicious!" In my family, that is high praise indeed.

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!!!

Here's a video describing what I made.  Enjoy!
