helped me set the table for Shabbat. It's a little bit of a circus around here while we prep for dinner, but I kind of love the chaos. I got dinner going in the crock pot during nap time, so now all that's left is to set the table. My little helper loves to put out the candlesticks and the kittish cup. Shabbat dinner looks a little different for us each week. Sometimes we eat a fancy meal, sometimes we heat up a frozen pizza, and sometimes my daughter falls asleep before we make it to the table. It's just the season of life that we're in. But we have our blessings and our family meal every Friday night. And it's special because it's ours. Shabbat is a time for reset and recharge, and we can count on it as a family. So now the table is set, and we play in our Shabbat jammies until dad gets home.
