Today I promised my kids dessert if they did their homework and ate their dinner. We don’t often eat dessert. I am grateful that I was able to make a healthy meal for us all. We had a variety of good homemade food. I am proud that I did not get a to go order from somewhere.
Also, I was excited to try a new recipe. It is the little things that make for big memories. It happened to be a decent day. I finished my work early. I started on dinner. There was a salad made ahead of time. We had homemade mashed potatoes. Not from a box.
When I think about how important it is for us to have some time together, I am grateful that we had dinner and dessert tonight. There are moments we take for granted. Spending a little extra time together for dessert, made our lives a little sweeter in more ways than one.
