Dinner

Can be such a simple thing, yet have such a huge impact on the flow of the evening! I go on kicks when I make dinner every night, I'm on track with my meal planning and grocery shopping every week. Then a bump in the road comes along and sends me into a tailspin. I find all the sudden we are picking up something for dinner every night or having cereal night or mac-n-cheese. Then I've had enough and I'm back on track again. I actually enjoy cooking and really love to make dinner for my family. I like to feed them food that they like and that I know is good for them. I also know how much they appreciate and love it when I cook, because they tell me constantly (that's about the time I realize I'm off track LOL). The evening also goes so much smoother when I already know what's for dinner or better yet have it in the crock pot ready to eat. In all actuality dinner doesn't take long at all to prepare, it's just thinking about it earlier in the day so I know what I plan to make, that's half the battle. It seems backwards, but so many times picking up dinner really doesn't help you out as much as you think it's going to. Don't get me wrong it's nice every now and then, but the trade off to me really isn't worth it.
Now date night dinners, that's a whole different story ;) Most definitely I want to enjoy eating in a restaurant environment where someone else is cooking and serving me delicious food, but that's a whole other topic...

DDI's

Kenny did DDI's (Daddy Daughter Interviews) with the girls this past Sunday. He's been doing these for a few years with the girls now, they really love those appointments as does he. They both get to learn so much about each other. Sometimes I wish I could be a fly on the wall so I could hear all the cute things they tell him. Kids always say the cutest things, too bad you can't just bottle all that up!
I love Kenny is such a good daddy to his girls! They have him wrapped so tightly around their little fingers it's ridiculous though...
I guess the same could be said for me though, he treats me like a princess all the time even when I don't deserve it. You could definitely say that Kenny loves all the girls in his life and would do anything for them no matter what sacrifice he would have to make. He always puts us first, we are so lucky to have him for all eternity!

Routines

What can I say - I'm a list writer!
I love office supplies and I write lists for basically any task that I need to accomplish.
I love to organize and come up with new "programs" for daily tasks. Sometimes the planning takes longer than the time the actual program survives, but I still enjoy the benefits routines give to my life. Without them I wouldn't be able to keep my anxiety at bay so I can actually enjoy the journey.
