Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - What meal do you take to a family with a new baby?

We are still right now receiving meals while adjusting to our new baby. We are blessed to be in a church with a lot of young families. Everyone gets meals with a new baby, and everyone is willing to participate when it's someone else's turn. We always schedule the meals to come every other night, so they keep coming for a long time. The nicest and most generous thing someone did this time was to bring us a hot meal (a tasty summer vegetable soup), along with two extra meals for our freezer!

DD1 has been interested in this phenomenon of people bringing us meals. She now likes to pretend, "I made this food at my house and I'm bringing it to your house." It's also somehow easier to get her to eat things when I can say who made it for us.
