motto || monday

for 2015 i've decided to choose a new motto every monday

because who doesn't love a good motto.

at the end of 2014 i decided to knock a few things off of my 

"things i've always wanted to do but haven't yet list"

SO

i went to the movies all by my lonesome.

it was glorious.

took a jelly roll quilting class. 

it was fun and a lot of work and i can't wait to take another.

i want to keep up with this momentum

which brings me to this week's motto:

that c.s. lewis was a smarty pants. 

 first up on my goals and dreams list is 

OPERATION

learn to use my dslr.

i mean, i've only had it for three years. 

happy monday friends.

The Kitchen

{via}

the fall is always our busiest season.

football and all that it entails when your kid{s} play is not a joke.

most days i want to bury my head in the ground like an ostrich and pretend that everything is just grand.

i saw the above quote and thought to myself, that this far, besides making cookies, i haven't really taught my boys to really BE in the kitchen.

and i really want them to be able to BE in the kitchen.

SO i'm putting it writing it here folks, so that i hold myself somewhat accountable.

once their respective football seasons are over, 

on alternating weeks they're each going to choose and prepare a meal

with my help of course.

that way they become comfortable BE{ing} in the kitchen.

because

EVERYONE BELONGS IN THE KITCHEN

maybe i'll make it a weekly post…

that thought just gave me anxiety, food photogs are my heroes.

my favorite saturday activity is preparing meals along side my husband. 

do you like BEing in the kitchen?
