My Everyday Life Week 19- Here’s what this past week looked like:
We talked about our Moms during our Practice Pages hangout on The Handwriting Club. It was just what I needed this week.
The homework for May is to write a letter to your Mom. I’m taking time today to write mine.
I am going to open this today. Thank you, Tammi!
I’ve been thinking about my Mom all week.
She’s still my light source.
Happy Mother’s Day to you if you’re a Mom. I hope your family takes good care of you this weekend. xo
Meal Train Food Ideas
I’ve been the recipient of a meal train once. Although back then it wasn’t a formal meal train. Almost 18 years ago (gasp!), it was just my Mom, my sister-in-law, a friend, and a neighbor. There wasn’t a meal train signup, a group email, or a text thread. Back then, my mom called me on the phone and told me not to worry about dinner because she was bringing us food. The other meals that first month were unexpected, but warmly welcomed.
Day two at home, my mom came in hot with a repurposed box from Costco.
Inside was:
She left us with verbal instructions to heat the stew, boil noodles, add butter, and finish with parsley. Of course, she followed up the next day by phone to see if I followed directions, asked how it was, and how the baby was doing. The call ended with the first of many reminders to bring back her salad dressing container.
