Finally! A minute to tell you about my awesome weekend.
Last week The Husband and I celebrated our 21st Wedding Anniversary.
In honor of this insanity, and since our marriage can now officially drink, we decided our trip should be inspired by wine and whiskey.
Our weekend started Friday afternoon after a day of meetings for me. We headed out around 2 pm in a torrential downpour. I’m not kidding; the rain was relentless! And we had about a two and half hour drive to Luray, Virginia.
I’m trying to make this a weekly series because it’s so fun!
As a family, we meal plan dinner Monday through Thursday, for the most part. I try to involve the family as much as possible. Each kid picks a day they will cook or help, and they choose the meal. We go through stages, of course. It all depends on how busy we are and what’s going on.
Friday, however, I like to have a little fun and celebrate the weekend.
Nearly fifteen years ago, I was teaching full-time, chasing around a toddler, and managing two blogs. It was a different time then, blogging was just starting to be popular, and I enjoyed sharing and connecting online.
Now, I’m back in the classroom and trying to motivate a teenager while preparing his little brother for middle school. Life is just as crazy but different. The boys have their own hobbies, and the time we spend together is not as exhausting as it once was. We play games and talk about our days.
It’s nice and hard in a completely different way.
A few days ago I got this email from YouTube…
We noticed you haven’t posted any content to your YouTube channel, Roni’s Recipes, for several months, and have fallen below the eligibility criteria for YouTube Partner Program (YPP). We know monetization is important to you as a creator, so we want to let you know that unless you meet the YPP eligibility threshold in the next 30 days, we will disable monetization on Roni’s Recipes. After that, we will cancel your contract and you will need to reapply for YPP.
Well, that put a fire under my ass.
Hey guys!
I’ve decided it was time to blog something fun. Frankly, I’m tired of doing things for other people. I miss generating content and sharing ideas, especially in the kitchen.
So, today I came home from work and pulled out the camera. I wanted to see how recording in the new kitchen would work.
Then, I decided just to roll the camera and see what it looked liked while I cooked.
