Food + Fellowship: Another Sunday Gathering

If there is one thing I want to be remembered by, it is for having an open and loving household. My mom recently shared how every Sunday at their house growing up included having people over for meals. She said my grandma cooked the best food and that my grandpa was always inviting people in. It was sweet to hear that piece of her childhood, and I am excited that my children will have similar memories of their Sundays at home. 

You can always find Elsa curled up under the table when we are in the dining room. She's done that since she was a puppy and I love that goofy trait of hers. This dinner was my husband's homemade manicotti, fresh salad and warm bread--aka, pretty much ALL my favorite foods. If you didn't know, my husband has his own website where he shares recipes, and you can check that out here. Our friends Tim and Stephanie joined us, and it was an amazing afternoon of food, fellowship, and lots of full bellies. 

I always like to have fresh flowers in the dining room (thanks, sweet husband!) and you can always find Humphrey, our Lab, begging at our seats. We have a full house, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Five pets, two kids, friends here often, and us: a husband and wife who have been married almost NINE years! (How did that happen?!) 

When we finished eating, the kids got to coloring. I'm obsessed with their artwork, and love watching how their drawings develop over the years. 

What do you love about Sundays? Anything cooking in your house this afternoon that you want to share?! Leave a comment below with your favorite dishes, and some of you have asked for recipes from past posts; feel free to e-mail me anytime or let me know of a specific dish to post for you. Happy weekend, friends. May it be as yummy as ever! 

Making Meals FUN with Re-Play!

The kids have had the same old same old dinnerware since I can remember, so when Re-Play wanted to partner with me, offering their extremely colorful and durable products, not only was I ecstatic, so were Pierson and Reese! This is a family owned company who ensures that their employees are cared for, that the products are safe, and everything is created 100% with recycled material. 

You can check out their website for all of their amazing products, but a personal favorite of mine is the Sorbet Collection, with so many beautiful, pastel-like colors. They have no-spill cups, regular cups, snack stacks, utensils, and various plates. Basically everything you need for your little one's meals, this company has it!

My kids love to switch up the colors of plates and cups that they use, but if you know my daughter Reese, you KNOW that her favorite is the PURPLE! :)
