Hello Fresh-Do I love it?

Ok, so let me start this off with no one is paying me! I bought my own box and this is my honest opinion!

Cooking is something I enjoy....I don’t love it, but I enjoy it.  I LOVE baking! Let me tell you why I don’t LOVE cooking! Because I have a family! And said family is picky! I mean, I’m picky...but I figure if I’m cooking, I can cook stuff I like! I don’t eat seafood, my husband doesn’t eat red meat and my three year old just doesn’t eat! My one year old eats about anything, though, so that's a win!

Anyway, a couple months ago my husbands’ Aunt said she had done Hello Fresh and had a free week to give away and asked if we would like to try it!  I had been looking at different meal delivery options but never committed. So I figured a free sample would be a great start! So I signed up, picked my meals and a few days later I get the meals! Pretty good and tasty!  But would I do it again if I had to pay for it....not sure! I kept my account active and just delayed the shipments!

And then....I get an email stating my shipment is on the way! What?? I thought I delayed? I hadn’t picked the meals...this was clearly going to be a disaster! Turns out it was totally my fault and October snuck up on me....which is the month I hadn’t delayed! Ooops! I did look on their website to preview what I was going to get...I was a little nervous, I’m not going to lie! It was 3 different meals, chicken, pork and beef! With things like quinoa, orzo, couscous. So chances were we were not going to like it!

Last night I made the Winner Winner Chicken Orzo Dinner. I knew the hubs would eat it because, chicken. I knew the 3 year old would not eat it because, food! And I was on the fence! Let me tell you....YUMMY!
What is came with!

From all the meal plans I had looked at previously, I this one was at the top of my list for this reason: nothing comes cut up!  And I love that!  I am very picky how I cut my vegetables and I didn't want that ruined!  So you do have to cut everything, including your meat.  I don't love touching/cutting raw meat, but if it means I can cut my own vegetables, then I'm fine with it!
and I use Pampered Chef knives and they are AWESOME!

Anyway, from prep to table, it was about 30 min. Now, keep in mind, I have two littles running around and needing things as well, so for a much more organized person, it may take a little less time!  

AND the hubs loved it!  Not so much the zucchini because it's "feely" (whatever that means) but everything else!

When life hand you lemons....have vodka on hand!

In October of 2016 we decided we wanted to adopt again! We both had reservations about this, but decided it would be best for Kyson to have a sibling that is closer than that 15-19 years age gap of he and the other boys!  So we reluctantly signed with our previous agency due to many reasons.  This time felt different.  We had A LOT more requirements we wanted them to meet.  I felt like I knew a little more about the adoption process, so I wanted to call the shots with them.  I did have to have a "come to Jesus" talk with them.  Basically, and this is what I tell anyone who is adopting....this is your life.  If you are paying an agency, then you deserve to feel wanted and special.  This is their JOB, but this is your LIFE.  We were told they only call us if they have something to tell us.  That is not okay.  Call me weekly just to check in...this is a very stressful process! Anyway, we were matched with a birth mom in December and f...

Let's talk adoption!

Let's take it back to October 2013.  Well, really, before that, but we will start there! We officially became a waiting family and made it official by announcing on Facebook!  I mean, how else do you make things official? Now, realistically, I knew it could be a long wait...I mean, I've seen Dateline! That is what adoption is, right? Sign some paperwork, wait for a bit and then BOOM!, you get chosen and you get a baby! Easy Peasy!  Ok, so I was wrong...very, very, wrong! I grew up in small town Nebraska and my husband grew up in one of the two "big cities" Nebraska has.  We are somewhat sheltered! My best friend growing up had a brother who was adopted at birth...but shhhh...you didn't talk about it! A couple years prior to us talking adoption, one of my best friends adopted a little girl.  They worked with an agency, they got a call and a few months later they had a baby! I thought to myself, "well, this can't be that hard.  That seems pretty easy...

One of Five

October 14, 2013.  The date we officially became a "waiting family" with Adoption Network Law Center (ANLC).  This is the agency we chose.  I did the research, talked to the ladies and had a good feeling.  We were referred to them from another reputable agency, our local attorney had worked with them several times, so we felt comfortable in our choice.  As time went on, we would not feel this way, but more on that later.   ANLC has their own media department that puts your profile together and gets it out to expectant moms based on what they are looking for.  They have your profile on different websites, different social media, etc.  The main profile is one that we are given access to check on.  We can see how many people visited our page.  With that being said, that had become my new obsession.  Everyday, and probably more like multiple times a day, I would check to see how many people visited us.  I gave this website t...
