Ok, so you know how stew is totally a comfort food? Well I need some comfort right now…my husband is on a boy’s week work trip at a beach, in the sun, without me! Wahhh.

So his work does a GM trip every year, and the wives are not invited. And it just so happens to be right around our anniversary and our daughter’s birthday. So I am left by myself (and by “myself” I mean with my 4 kids), and just a tad resentful. Which of course I then feel totally guilty about because why should I resent the fact that he is working hard to earn us a living, and there are a few perks!? So then I just feel worse.  It is a vicious cycle. Haha

So I am officially throwing myself a pitty party. And you guys are all invited. And we are eating this totally tasty slow cooker beef stew. Because it rocks, and because I like it, and it is my party!  And it is so easy, which I need right now because I am expending all my energy feeling bad for myself. Haha, just kidding. But really, this is a very simple stew that always hits the spot for me!

    Haha...as a SAH mom for over 15 years...I totally hear ya. With my husband owning his business, he rarely even makes it home for dinner on time and through the years with the kids growing up, unfortunately missed an awful lot. BUT...he works hard so I can afford to be here, and I am grateful for that! I wouldn't change it if I could! Beef stew is ultimate comfort food! Yours looks great!
