Remember a few weeks ago when I showed you a picture of my frozen chicken and told you about Matt’s reaction to me taking a picture of my chicken? Ah, the life of “the blogger’s husband”.
Well, today I’ve gotta tell you what my kids have learned by having a blogger for a mom.
Last Wednesday, a friend of ours was coming over for lunch, and since it was her birthday, Justus wanted to make cupcakes. He did it all from start to finish. I figured he was ready to go play after he was done. Instead, he said, “Okay. They’re done. Let me get a picture real quick.”
Apparently, my children think that before we can serve food,
we need to take a picture first.
I don’t know where they get that idea. :)

Would you mind sharing your recipe for three cheese chicken pasta? It sounds wonderful. I am looking for a chicken recipe to complete my menu this week. Thanks for sharing all you do. I truly enjoy your blog.
I am going to add your lasagna casserole to next week’s menu for sure. You have some great recipes on your blog.
hehe! My daughter is always asking if I’m going to take a picture of her food before we serve it. My husband always checks to see if I’ve taken pics before he grabs his plate of food if it’s a new dish. lol!
Thanks for all your recipes! I have started incorporating them into my plans! (Sometimes I even wait until you have posted your menu to do my menu for the week so I can ‘mooch’ off of it.) Oh, and I LOVE baked oatmeal!
He he, I think it’s funny that the word ‘blog’ is even in my 3- and 5-year-olds’ vocabulary!
Stevia question: what type do you use and where do you get it? (I looked, but maybe you have a post that already addresses this.)
I enjoy your blog so much!
That’s hilarious that he wanted to take a photo ! My kids are like that too !!! Hmmm ….
Cute story! My family looks at me like I’m crazy too.
Thanks for sharing your yummy menu!

I don’t even have a blog and I take pictures of our food – my children insist! My husband thinks we’re all looney!
I “mooch” off your menu plans too :~)
Wonderful menu!
I bookmarked a couple of the recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!
