261. cleaning done by someone else because hubby got a deal via a group buy
262. new swimming session that is starting with a lower price
263. great food + wonderful people = Marvelous Christmas party at our church
264. finishing a book discussion with my husband’s brother and wife
265. planning another book to read and discuss with them (their turn to pick the book)
266. a child who can babysit + errands to do = possibility of spending more one on one time with each other kids
267. baking a recipe that my mom used to do
268. adapting said recipe for our needs because the original way of doing it was too long…
269. my oldest wanting to make a batch of the recipe by himself
270. delicious Heavenly Mushrooms like my brother-in-law would say… (he did mentioned that it tasted like heaven! *grin*)
A mother's recipe- there is such gift in that- her hands working the dough, her welcoming us into the kitchen to see how it's done, the legacy, the memories, the taste. How good of God to give so richly through our mothers! Blessings this advent season!
