There are many things a gal can want for Mother’s day. Chocolates, flowers, JEWELRY (right ladies?!), the list could go on. I on the other hand just want TIME to myself! My hubs knows me pretty well because Friday before Mother’s Day he said, “Babe, for Mother’s day you get the day off!” BEST GIFT EVER!!! I spent mother’s day with my Mama flower shopping and eating a late lunch. The wonderful day did not stop there, later that night I found a meal plan, in my email, already done for me to use for today’s blog. My husband works SOOO hard for our little family and I appreciate it! He went above and beyond to write up a meal plan for me! THANK YOU MIKE your my hero and I love you! His Birthday happens to be this week so its perfect that I do not have to ask him what he wants for dinner that night, I already know!
I hope you enjoy the flavors my hubs picked out, some are repeats which are good so I know what he likes. Enjoy!
