mom of 5

Ohhh, after 5 children, my elasticity just isn't the same anymore! :/

Yay for all you new April Sleevers! I'm April 18! =) Good Luck all you soon to be sleevers!!=)

Lol...I'm not looking to be a supermodel, just don't want to look like a rubber band!=)

In my room feeling sore; went to the bathroom twice and made a lap around the hall once. Having an ice chip every 10 minutes throat is sooo dry! Other than that everything went great!!
Hope the same for y'all!

Big Lu & CCCross,
SO happy you like the recipes! I am quite the creative one in the kitchen and just couldn't stand the normal bland pureed foods for 2 weeks. If you are ever needing any suggestions, just inbox me. I have LOTS of recipes for that stage and beyond.
Good Luck!
