Our fourth annual Epiphany dinner! This year was a bit of a train wreck: I had children who declared they didn’t really like chili and refused to eat, there were some tears and whining and just general bad moods. But I persevered! We managed to still chat about our family goals for the new year and the kids came up with these three all on their own:
- Go to daily mass once a week.
- Work on our patience and kind words.
- Spend even more time outside.
After a whopper of a dinner, everyone ripped open their gifts wrapped in gold paper and…went their separate ways. Hah! No reading together by the fire this year. Maybe next time.

P.S. I bought everyone’s books on Book Outlet during their Black Friday sale! I think the most expensive book was $5 – such a steal!
I loved There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather! I feel like I need to reread it every winter so that I don't stay holed up inside for months, lol.
I have heard such great things about it…I can't wait to dive in!
