Thanks to everyone who donated towards our Meal Train! We were able to get some delicious food and snacks over at Costco today to make lunches and other meals easy over the next couple weeks!

Next, thank you if you donated DoorDash gift cards! I know we’ll be using those this weekend as well! (The big kids have been begging for McAllister’s for weeks).

Also, we are very much looking forward to the meals being dropped off tonight and into the next few weeks! 🫶🏻

Finally, thank you to my SIL for setting up the Meal Train for us! I hope you enjoy your Mother’s Day weekend Disney cruise!
