Excellent list. Loving rituals are what builds a home. Let's get back to this!

Thanks Mary Ann! I agree, they’re timeless habits that make a big difference long term for our families.

Love all of these!!! We practice almost all of them in our own home, and they make our rhythm so sweet 💛 love your insight on them, Mollie!

Love this Mollie! Such a relief when I see other families rotating simple meals! It’s too easy to fall into the trap of thinking dinner has to be unique all the time.

Thanks Emily! And yes definitely! I do love being creative but in seasons where I just don’t have as much time to do so, it’s these simple meals that we fall back on! The Lazy Genius calls them “brainless crowd pleasers” ; )

Oh Mollie I loved every one of these habits you thought and wrote about here. I went to great lengths with my kids, especially during the busy teen years to have family dinners together! I still write out lists and such and love that my grandkids now enjoy playing outside. And as for simple dinners, I’m tired of inventing the wheel and implementing a healthy rotation of meals for me and my husband. Loved, LOVED this post, sweet friend!
