Our 5th wheel is parked on Tim’s parents property for now. It’s packed and organized and ready to go (we are SO ready to go).

A few nights ago, we used the stovetop in the RV for the first time. We made homemade pancakes (secret ingredient: cottage cheese) and homemade blueberry sauce. For dinner. With real whipped cream.

Tim and our 4-year-old were the cooks. (There isn’t room for 2 adults in the kitchen). Here is our 4-year-old – holding a knife. Yep. Right at that moment, she was saying, “Mom! I can hold knives! Look!”

We ate. We talked. We tried not to spill. I can feel us starting to carve out a little home for ourselves again. Just the four of us.

This year is going to be totally awesome.

What did YOU have for dinner last night?
