A wonderful family in our ward just had a baby and Maren was desperately trying to find something to do for them! (You always want to encourage this behavior when it manifests itself!) I told her that it is always nice to have extra meals on hand because the meals stop coming in and cooking is the last thing that I want to do when I have a new baby. So freezer meals it is. She planned, shopped and cooked all on her own--only with a little help from me! I was amazed at how focused she remained the whole day!
At the end of the day, she made 4 meals and a bag of frozen cookie dough balls! We even had a couple of meals for our family freezer!
Maren was so proud of herself--as was I! She was SO excited to make the delivery! It is so wonderful to witness those moments when your children "get it"--when they really enjoy serving other people and seeing how happy it makes others feel. Great job, Maren!

Good job Maren! That is such a wonderful service! I am with your Mom--the last thing you want to do is cook after having a baby! What a sweet girl!
