“Egg(SANS)…”

-


 
Shared by Breanne Smedley

With a little more time on our hands lately, I think Brett has started to get his entrepreneurial juices flowing.

Earlier this week, in the family text thread, he pitched his idea.

A restaurant idea, among all things.

I call it “EGG(sans)”.

Menu options:

Eggs Benedict (without hollandaise sauce or muffin)
Eggs and toast (without toast)
Eggs and pancakes (without pancakes)
Eggs and hashbrowns (without hashbrowns)
Any egg scramble you can think of (without all the fixings)…just eggs.

In fact, I was the first to try his first creation when he made me the signature eggs sans hashbrowns.

The idea sparked a few days of responses from members of the family, all chiming in with their ideas to help this “eggcellent” idea take off.

From Kristina, the business expert, “Keep the number of seats low…maybe no seats at all…high demand, low supply..high prices!”

From Mark, a food and restaurant aficionado. “I think you just have a plain black box as a logo. Almost to say, this is so obscene it’s censored.”

Then, a commercial idea involving chickens and eggs that had us all either rolling with laughter or wondering what we just looked at (a combo of both).

Rick and Carol jumped in with their support and encouragement, ready to be the first in line to try EGG(sans) creations.

“Is EGG(sans) menu available for delivery? Perhaps through Amazon? Dad and I could order breakfast and have it arrive via FedEx!”

Over the days, more egg jokes.

More hilarious business ideas that Brett seriously and thoughtfully weighed and gave his feedback to.

Including statues constructed by Charlee.

And slogan ideas that are too inappropriate for Facebook…

In the light of everything that’s going on.

When anxiety seems high and the uncertainty abounds.

I’m thankful for a husband and family that has a sense of humor.

Using laughter to relieve a bit of stress.
To bring us together.

When times get hard, make time to laugh.

It really is the best medicine.

"Learning to Crawl..."

  Shared by Kristina Smedley Kaden has been blowing our minds with his persistence in learning how to crawl. I don’t know why this is surprising. For some reason, I expected that babies just crawled… not that I would see his very visible effort into actually learning and practicing how to crawl. #newmom ;-)   About two weeks ago, he started getting further up on his hands. And started a little rocking back and forth. Then slowly we saw a knee pop-under him.   Then a little lat pull-down type action to use his arms to lunge himself forward. Then all in about 24 hours he was army crawling, then getting his legs into it, and then suddenly he was coordinated and crawling around. I loved watching him figure this out.   And watching him struggle a little with something until he got the next piece down, and the next, and the next. And honestly, Kaden has been a great reminder to me that I too have to learn to crawl first, before I can walk and eventually run. And even ‘crawling' isn't

“Streaks…”

  Shared by Breanne Smedley Spend time around high schoolers and you’re sure to hear the word, “streaks.” More specifically, phrases along the lines of: “I gotta keep my streaks.” Or, “We broke our 100-day streak yesterday!” If you don’t hang out with high school-aged people every day, let me fill you in. “Streaks” refer to the ongoing exchange of photos/messages between two people on SnapChat. If a friend and I snap chat with each other for two days in a row, we have a two-day streak. Three days in a row, a three-day streak. Five days, a five-day streak. And so on until one person breaks it ad the streak has to start back over. Kids get a little neurotic about their streaks. I overheard a student talking about how she gave her SnapChat login information to a friend so that she could “keep her streaks” while on vacation without cell service. That’s commitment and problem-solving at it’s finest right there. While sometimes I don’t get it (because apparently I’m old and I haven’t even re

“Kristina, the Bulgarian folk dancer…”

  Shared by Kristina Smedley Have I ever told you about the time I was a Bulgarian folk dancer? Now that I asked, I’m going to guess not! Actually, I’m certain none of you know unless you somehow saw the video. Performing as a dancer is my nightmare, one filled with self-doubt and embarrassment. But it also proved to be a lesson that our minds create labels, judgments, definitions that aren’t the truth and many times hold us back in fear. When reflecting back on the experience, a lesson to just give it a try. OK, so the story of being a Bulgarian Folk Dancer… A few years ago I traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria with a couple of colleagues. It was winter, there was dirty snow on the ground, the city’s buildings were fascinating but also dingy-looking in the grey, cloudy skies. I couldn’t read any of the road signs. But inside the local restaurants there was warmth, laughter, folk music, AND local dance groups dressed in traditional costumes and performing traditional dances. So, the guys and I
