Visitors

When we moved into our house, it was the first house I'd ever owned.  I was 37 weeks pregnant and the only thing on my mind was getting settled as quickly as possible before M joined our family.  My mum came on the first day with the rest of our family to help clean & set up the house from top to bottom and quickly stocked our freezer with muffins, breads and various baked goods like butter tarts, cheesecake brownies, etc.  Her advice?  ALWAYS have something in the freezer in case someone unexpectedly stops by to visit because that's what happens when you own a home.

Fast forward to the present day and I think we're at a tally of three (3!!!) visits from my BFF where I have had absolutely nothing in the freezer to offer as a snack.  Um yeah.  Being the best BFF ever, she must know this and ALWAYS brings muffins or cookies in her purse.  She showed up today with a stash of muffins for the little ones to snack on while playing.  Meanwhile, I could only drum up a pear & two apples to offer as snacks.

Definitely not the hostess with the mostess when it comes to daytime visiting.

M & I just grocery stopped & stocked up on a lot of pantry essentials.  D is away this weekend and it's miserably wet outside so I think M & I will take advantage and try to make some freezer meals & do some baking.  Yes...  baking!  I've got my mind set on making banana bread and maybe a batch of carrot pineapple bran muffins.

You know...  in case I have a visitor or two.
