Dancing with Love in Her Heart

Dancing in the kitchen again

 

Dancing in the kitchen again. It is something we do. As children my mom dance with us in kitchen. That is were I learned to jitterbug, do dishes and of course cook. 

On another note:

In France one rarely walks into the kitchen when entering a home: An entrance hall yes. A living room yes. A bathroom no. A kitchen rarely. 

When you walk into our home you walk right into the kitchen. Open the front door and the kitchen is there to greet you. It makes me have a manic attitude. Dirty dishes are not what I want others to see when they first walk into our home.

The dancing man was home with his girlfriend, he rarely does dishes. 

 

The kitchen activity

 

One of my blog goals this year is to show more personal photos of our day to day life. I plan on using cell phone photos more and more, and not worry if they are "good" or not. I wouldn't think to take a photo in the evening, indoors, with the lights on, nor use a blurry photo. But I am challenging myself to let that go and snap a photo for fun.

The flowers were from Thierry for Valentine's day. When he came over for lunch with that beautiful bouquet of lavender colored roses, I gasped! Yann moaned, "Oh no I am doomed."

He was.

 

 

Dancing as a way of life

Dancing in the kitchen to the best song ever

They danced in the kitchen to the best song ever… I don't know what the name of the song was. But I do know what it feels like to want to dance: To have the music roll through your body, to feel it as the best song ever, 'cause it corresponds with something within that does not have a name.

While they danced, French Husband stirred the pot on the stove while I prepared a dessert. Not just any dessert. A dessert that we were to take over to Chelsea's boyfriend's parent's house. 

How serious does that sound?

I fretted over that dessert as if I were giving birth. Gee, I have made that dessert to the point where I do not need to look at the recipe, and STILL I was sure it was going to flop. It didn't.

Chelsea's boyfriend's parent's house.

How serious does that sound?

 

 

Dancing with love in your heart

 

And Chelsea? Is it serious?

Well she just danced.

  1. I can see that Chelsea had complete confidence in her Mother & the dessert. So she danced. Oh how those “kids” dancing made me laugh. How much FUN they were having. I am way older than you and I still love to dance.

  2. I wholeheartedly vote for more casual pics of everyday life! You have the most wonderful family. You are lucky to have children to help keep you young.

  3. Fabulously inspiring. My family needs more dancing. Dinner with the “in-laws” does sound serious.

  4. Love love love! You make me so happy!!!

    I love de lurkers! Welcome to Tongue in Cheek. Those who comment regularly I feel I know. It is like those who read my blog feel they know me, and they do. Some readers, SHelley Noble, Star, Tut-Tut to mention a few , have left comments as long as I have blogged… there is a relationship because of that.
    Welcome! C

  16. Perhaps you can write a set of lyrics for this to the tune “Dancing in the Streets” (cue Martha Reeves and the Vandellas!).

  17. Tiramisu and Lemon Bars, two of my favorites — Ooh-la-la!

  18. Oh what total fun in the kitchen! I bet you got out there too once you put your camera down!

    These are wonderful photos, full of life and motion and who cares if they’re a little blurry, taken indoors and all. (although, what’s that bur where Sasha’s hand is waving around toward Chelsea’s bum? what’s going on there?!!?)
    And now I’ve read backwards enough that I’m coming upon this post of yours where you tell of your change of blog orientation. yea.

  21. Hi RebPNW
