    I hope other young Moms watch you and see the importance of routine. Kids need it, and things should happen daily at the same time. I always feed my kids at the same time each day, they had a morning routine, and nighttime routine. Bed time was 7:30 when young, school age 8:00. I see kids out at the store at 9:00 at night. This generation is being raised by children that weren't parented.

      So true. All of it. "Children are a map of their parents," regardless of age.
      We try in our house to have structure and routine. Our children need it but so do I. My husband is an OTR trucker so about once a month, give or take, it's all kinds of topsy-turvy as far as plans, routine, etc. Getting back into a rhythm always takes a few days :-/

We also have a freezer full of venison and the veggie garden is exploding. So I’m with you…it’s nice to make a “romantic dinner for two” at home. Thanks for sharing!!!🥩🥗🍗🍚🍮😍

    Oh goodness.. that sweet baby boy😊 Those little legs/feet hanging out & his sweet little round head, too precious😊 All the recipes looked so yummy & delish😋 I'm a big seafood lover.. the scallops looked sooo yummy! I love asparagus too! I like to put it on a baking sheet or cookie sheet, cover them & the pan good with olive oil, cover them good with parmesan cheese (the kind in the shaker) use a good amount of pepper & sea salt, sometimes i add cherry tomatoes sliced in half before i sprinkle the other ingredients.. Bake on 350° until tender & the Parmesan is a little crusty..sooo good🤤 I eat my steak medium, just a little pink, not so dry that way. Our 2 kids are grown, we've been empty nest for about 6yrs. and we'd much rather eat at home.. I'm a home body, nowhere else i'd rather be! Right now everything is totally different. We've recently moved to Florida, about 2mths ago, & staying with my son, his wife & 11mth old. Then 2wks ago we had to get custody if our 3 & 5yr olds. So life is MUCH different right now😂 but hopefully we'll find a house soon, the 5yr old Erik start school in less than 2wks, so it'll be me & the 2yr old. Is great you guys had the extra quality time! Enjoyed the recipes!😊

Your story is a beautiful testament to the value of both presence and absence in our lives. And I am Floating Village Life.

      I feel the same way, but I never had my babies in a carrier and my toddlers weren’t allowed in the kitchen when I was cooking. I only have 2 children though so she definitely has more experience than I do with little ones. I’m just super careful, I think because my eldest has adhd and has no sense of danger. If he touched a hot surface and burnt himself he wouldn’t register not to do it again he would carry right on and do it again which is when the baby gate went up on the kitchen door. I also don’t cook on the front hot plates unless necessary. I do think the positives of carrying baby all the time though are excellent and maybe if I knew now I may have been different, my kids are 20 and 14 now though 🤣
