Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pink Cadillaquer
I grew up in a house where on Sundays, we had supper. It was different than dinner. Sunday supper was just a few hours after church, and it was always more people than just my family. In fact, it’s where the term “just us” was coined. Whose coming for Sunday supper? Just us. But “just us” was around twenty people.
My mom would make sauce. Anti pasta would be set out on the kitchen table. And the crew would start to trickle in any time after church. The wine would be poured, the kids would play. We’d end the evening watching whatever show was on at the time. I vividly remember watching Married with Children on Sunday nights growing up.
Since getting married nearly five years ago, I’ve wanted to start our own Sunday supper traditions but the timing and location never aligned. When we lived in Charlotte last, we were a good twenty minutes from everyone we knew.
Well, on Sunday, as we were packing our bags to head back to Charlotte from Raleigh, the sauce was simmering in my parents’ kitchen. Knowing we had to be back in time to get some work done and for J to have a meeting, there was no way we’d get to stay for dinner. And I was less than pleased about it.
So five minutes into our drive home, it dawned on me. I sent a text out to our friends. Sunday supper. I’ll cook, you bring the drinks. 7:30. You in?
And just like that… Sunday Supper at the Hodges house was born. And it was absolutely lovely. I already can’t wait til next week!
Oh. And that picture of my polish? Taken on day 4, the morning after scrubbing pots and pans. I mean it when I say that Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is the bees knees.
How fun! I love dinner with friends!
I love this! My family was the same growing up, I will have to try this with friends!
This is such a great idea! I always loved Sundays growing up because it meant church, a big lunch, and falling asleep watching old movies! 🙂
Love it! Sunday Supper was a weekly staple at my house growing up as well. And during university my group of friends would always make a point to eat together Sunday evening. Sharing food with family and friends is the best way to start a new week.
I get so much joy out of hosting our friends for dinner! Such a treat 🙂 I'm loving that Sally Hansen top coat, I need to try more of the shades. I have Essie Boom Boom Room on right now and it looks almost identical, love a fun pink.
I think this is an awesome tradition to start! 🙂
That's so nice lady! It will be even better on the days where you guys can sit outside. When my parents are here during the warmer months we get together every Sunday. I definitely remember the bigger Sunday family gatherings though when I was growing up. 🙂 We also don't have a dining room table (the giant sectional takes up a lot of space) but we just ordered new patio furniture so I'm looking forward to having people over to dine al fresco! 🙂
i love the idea of a weekly dinner like this. i don't have any traditions like this, sad! if i'm ever in the area, i'm coming over for sunday supper 😉
I love that idea! I always mean to get a weekly or even monthly get together in the works… I just haven't done it yet. I feel like it gives everyone something to look forward to, and it forces you to make time for fun things.
I can't believe how great your polish still looks! I'll be checking that out, for sure.

My TX family is big on Sunday Supper. They are big on big suppers in general though. 🙂 Love starting new traditions! This is something I could definitely get into for sure.
Such a fun tradition! My husband grew up doing the same at his Great Grandma's and has mentioned so many times it's a tradition he still wishes his family did!
What a fun/cute little tradition! I love it!
I can't believe that's day 4 of that polish… I'm gonna have to try it out!
The nails look lovely and the dinner looked delicious. estherdavison@gmail.com
