I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Welch’s. I received product samples to facilitate my review, a gift code to giveaway, and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I have two younger brothers, and the three of us now have our own families with young kids. We try to get everyone together every few months to make memories together, sometimes it’s a day outing to the zoo and when we are able to make it a long weekend, we try to do something really special. Last weekend, before we had to send the kids out the door to start the school year, we all enjoyed a long weekend at the coast with our parents.
I love waking up at the coast in the morning. The smell of the coffee brewing mixed with the fresh ocean air. The little ones still sleepy and cuddly having just padded down the hallway from their rooms in their footie pajamas. It was around the breakfast table that we all shared the most laughter. We told the latest funny kid stories and talked about all of the fun family things we did during the summer.
This time, it was the men of the family’s turn to cook us breakfast. My mom even had an apron made for each of the guys, customized with their family’s picture. You can see how excited they were about them!
They surprised us with some of my Dad’s famous berry crepes. My brothers and husband in the kitchen cracking eggs, stirring the berries on the stove, my Dad giving directions for the special recipe he perfected for years and knew by heart. He used to make it for my brothers and me when we were young, and now he made crepes for his grandchildren too.
Breakfast was excellent. The adults paired the berry crepes with a hot cup of coffee, while the kids had delicious grape juice from Welch’s!
We have sweet memories of the special weekend crepes from when we were young, and now our children are going to have these same fond memories surrounded by the whole family.
Welch’s wants to share ‘in the magic of the “kitchen table” moments’. These moments can happen at any time, but the ones that stand out for us are the ones that happen when we congregate around the table as a family, sharing a meal, chatting and laughing. Welch’s has launched a new movement named “Share What’s Good”. Go to Sharewhatsgood.com where you can find great recipes to make with your family along with wonderful ideas for family fun. You can see pictures from others and upload your own showing your “Share What’s Good” moments.
During the weekend, we had many other special “Share What’s Good” moments. We spent hours with the littlest ones digging for shells in the wet sand. The older boys tried out their bright new kites, the grandparents helping them to stay in flight. My husband and I had some time to ourselves and we walked along the edge of the water, holding hands. It was an amazing and memorable weekend for us all!
You can enter below for a $50 photo gift card towards a popular Online Photo Service where they can share their own moment through Photo Books, Cards & Stationery, Prints, Calendars, Photo Gifts and more!

I am with them everyday and i let them know in what i say and how i act lots of love in our home
We spend time eating dinner together every day and sharing our highs and lows of the day
I try to make the normal moments of life fun like playing games in the car, or just randomly singing and dancing around!
Our days are made special by the sweet little things like reading together at the end of the night and the lullabies they ask for before I leave the room 🙂
Special is remembering to say ‘I love you’ in words and in deeds.
Thanks for the contest.
To makes sure my kids know that they are loved and safe every day through all I say and do.
We eat dinner together every day.
Special because we all remember to say Drive Carefully and Love You when we leave each other
Our days are made special by loving each other and spending time together.
We start every day with a family hug (my kids are still little). It’s a nice moment and gets everyone in a good mood first thing in the morning.
After losing my mom about 2 years ago, the way I make things special is to take photos. I probably take more than necessary, but I don’t want to miss any moments to look back on.
We have dinner together every night and talk about our day the good things and the bad I think that makes us all closer and connected
We take lots of photos to capture the memories!
I randomly hug and kiss my kids and husband throughout the day.
just being together is special and actually ‘doing’ things together and my 1# thing is sitting at a table ,eating together and talking!!!NO phones allowed
We are always at the table together for our meals.
We eat at the table with the TVs off and catch up on our daily moments.
I try to have us do more things together, even if they’re just simple chores!
I think just taking time to enjoy the moments make them special.
When we all come together after a hectic day and eat dinner together!
we enjoy being together and lots of laughter
I always try to take time out of my day to do a special activity as a family.
We eat dinner as a family and chat about our day.
Thanks for the chance.

We eat together and talk about our day.
I like to give hugs and tell them I love them every day
Dinner time is always as a family!
Every day moments are special because there aren’t many time when we are all able to be together.
We spend time everyday talking together about what is happening with each other.
I like to make each moment a memory.
