After a hot sunny day, there is no better way to end the day than to eat outside. We love to eat outside as a family. As the sun begins to dip down over the other side of the house, the breeze begins to cool. The time spent gathering together to unwind and talk about the day is priceless. The kids love to help set up the table and make it fancy for dinner. I love the help I receive getting dinner on the table. Everyone seems happier. Dinner feels less rushed. Our attention is more focused on each other. This is a tradition that I hope our children will grow up remembering and treasuring.

wow all looks so yummy! That jam really makes my mouth water and looks like one of my favorites? RASPBERRY??? I like all raspberry jam but tend to gravitate more towards black raspberry and now I also try to go more for seedless…just because of digestive reasons….I LOVE the seeds though….even if they don't always like me!
