That little boy is just so darn cute. I want to squeeze him 😊 I love your video’s ❤

We did the marinating meat method when preparing for our twins! We got so tired of eating freezer meals with our first. We kept a master list and prepped frozen veggies, cooked sides (like mac & cheese or rice) and bags and bags of marinated meat! It was a game changer! Just had to throw the meat in the oven (or BBQ) and warm up the sides. Fresh meals can't be beat!! Ps. I've loved watching all of these videos while on maternity leave!

I love how "real" you are in your videos. It always makes me smile when I see you do the home cook measuring because that what I do. I only use my measuring spoons for baking😅. My son's always ask me how much and I just say "eye ball it." It's always fun hearing your kids in the background, because that's real life!!!😊 Thank you for being you and may you and your family be blessed always🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
