Grocery Bag, Postpartum Edition
There has been a conspicuous absence of Grocery Bag posts for the past 3 weeks since Baby Bear's arrival. This week will be no exception -- no Grocery Bag meal planning again for me. But, that is not to say that we are starving or that we have no dinner plan for the week!
I have to dedicate this Monday's Grocery Bag to all of our family and friends who have blessed us with meals since we came home with Baby Bear. I have no Grocery Bag posts because I have prepared so few meals myself! We have received beautiful homemade dishes, restaurant take-out, meal gift certificates, grocery store deliveries, my favorite chocolate hazelnut torte dessert, and even a cooler of Dean & Deluca frozen food via express mail from friends in Seattle. And let me tell you, the next day leftovers have been delicious!
Before I had G-Bear, I would have never thought to bring a meal to new parents. Thank goodness that others knew what an amazing blessing it would be to us! Now a more experienced momma, I think there may be no better gift for new parents (especially a new mom with other kids at home!) than a meal delivered. We are especially grateful for the people who have organized multiple meal deliveries with several friends, keeping our tummies full for weeks on end. What a gift!
From all of us in Happily Ever Johnson Land, thank you for our happy tummies!
