Making Memories: Rustic Backyard Garden Wedding Menu

Oh my goodness, Y’all! I just realized that I never posted the wedding menu from last year… and here we are almost a year later! Thank goodness for my Holiday Planner… I’ve got my notes 🙂 Thankfully, some of the family and friends did offer to bring some of the food… that helped a lot.

Most of the recipes were able to be made in advance, so we spent the two days before the wedding getting all the food prepped. It was a lot of work, but we had a lot of family come to help, and many hands make light work, and God enabled us with the spirit of determination to get it done!

In my defense, I believe that I was waiting so I could post some of the photos, but sadly the photos were lost so we never got the ones we were waiting on… if you want to see what we have you can check out this post:

My Kids Surprised Me With Their Knife Skills!

I used to think letting my kids near sharp knives was a recipe for disaster. Turns out, it’s the exact opposite.

When kids learn real knife skills, they actually become safer in the kitchen. They gain confidence, take ownership of meals, and (bonus!) start helping with dinner instead of just asking when it’s ready.

That’s exactly what this free knife skills class for kids delivers: practical instruction, real safety techniques, and fun activities that make kids excited to cook. My kids surprised me and so will yours!

Fall Decorating and Holiday Planning

We are getting a late start on the Fall decorating, but we are getting it done! Another thing we are working on is brainstorming some ideas for gifts this Christmas… I am thinking along the lines of some mixes in a jar or maybe just my homemade goodies that I’ve made the past couple of years.

For the kids and the grand babies I am definitely leaning to the 3 or 4 gift rule… something they WANT, something they NEED, something they can WEAR, and something they can READ… or along those lines.

Now is the time to start shopping and get those recipes printed out so you can be ready when the time comes! Don’t wait until the last minute!!
