“Mom I’m hungry” I hear that before I even get the dishes done. I have 3 thriving, nourished, spoiled, healthy sons. I am blessed. Blessed to have things some women never dream of. Clean water, a home, medicine and food.
Our church had a fundraiser last week for this wonderful charity fmsc.org. A raffle and bake-off to raise money for a food packing event we will participate in this March.
The boys, the Hubs and I all baked away a Saturday for the bake-off, this is what we made.
