Meal Exchange

If you haven't thought about getting a small group of friends together to meet once a month over coffee with frozen meals to exchange with each other I highly recommend it!

There are five beautiful women I catch up with every six weeks to exchange 8 meals (each lady getting two meals to take home).  We have been doing our exchange for over a year now and it has been fun watching our relationships grow.  All the meals have been a hit with my family, but what I love best (besides feeding my family healthy food) is the laughter, memories and encouragement us 5 ladies are giving to each other.

Today I took ...
White chicken chili Soup
18 mini quiches

But I came home with ...

a warm heart, a smile on my face and encouraged as a mother/wife and of course...cinnamon rolls, banana bread, cheese balls, scones, and four different soups for my family.  We had a theme this month with it being December.

I hope you are able to pull a few friends together and start your meal exchange group!  I have some of our recipes I would be happy to share with you.

Happy Thanksgiving...late!

Happy Thanksgiving!
And now Christmas is right around the corner.

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying day 8 of December.  It is always a busy month with shopping, addressing cards, school programs, friends and family get togethers and so much more, but I love it.  I love the excitement the adults and  kids have during this time of the year.  

With that said, my kids are waiting on me to go start some holiday baking!
Here comes some messes and sugar highs!

Enjoy these special moments with the ones you love!

Loosing Teeth

Will's teeth were late to come in and now at age 8 ...
he has now lost 3 teeth!


Will's teeth are on their own pace and not in the normal order.  Each tooth is surprising us and he loves it!  He has informed us that he only has 5 more teeth to loose until his first orthadontist appointment... We'll see.
