Menu Plan for the Week of December 2nd -

December is here, and my hubby and oldest son have birthdays this month. I CANNOT believe my oldest child will be 17! I remember SO clearly the moment the doctor laid him on me just after he was born and how surreal the moment felt. Now he is almost a man, and I am so proud of him, but I have a hard time imagining where all the time has gone…
