Do You Have a Dinner Bell?

January 19, 2024

When I was growing up, we'd visit my Grandma, who kept a cowbell in the kitchen. Whenever dinner was ready, she'd ring the bell, and it would clang loud enough to let those in her third floor bedrooms know that there was food on the table. The sound became Pavlovian for me, and now when I hear a loud brass bell — I associate it with food and family. Chris and I have had one in each of our homes, and I love that ours is wall-mounted. I love even more that we don't have to yell up the steps to call the girls for dinner. One ring of the bell, and they come running!

  1. Our family just yells "ring a ding ding" (but really to the tune of what does the fox say....don't pretend you do not know the song). This may have inspired me to make our home slightly classier and add a physical bell. Lovely post as usual.

  2. I love this! One day when I'm past the tiny-baby-who-is-hopefully-sleeping-while-I-prep-dinner stage of life, I definitely want a dinner bell!
    My sister-in-law has a dinner gong, and that is quite an experience...

  3. Hello! I am loving your blog and this post! It’s inspired me to get my mother in law an engraved wall-mounted dinner bell as a gift. I just know she would love it! I was curious what the diameter of your dinner bell pictured above is? It looks like the perfect for a nook in her kitchen. & Thanks so much for providing such an amazing inspiring site!

30 Faux Spring Stems I'm Eyeing for My Home

When everything outside is still brown, I love to switch over to spring stems indoors. The best part is that spring stems will last until September, when I switch over to fall stems! I always have some classic green hydrangeas in a vase this time of year. Right now, they're in an oversized vase in […]

How to Throw a Murder Mystery Party for Teens (or Adults!)

Several years ago, I hosted a murder mystery party for some adult friends, but thinking back it was kind of a blur. Chris was getting over pneumonia! I do remember it being a fun way to dress up and spend the evening—everyone had a blast. So when Greta decided for her 15th birthday party that […]

5-Minute Baby Gem Salad with Lighter-than-Light Honey Mustard Dressing
