<p>I am a full time Mommy on the run! I have 4 children and a amazing husband. There is a goal I have in this life. To become good at having a menu. Sticking to it. So my family can enjoy meals together. So my children will learn to eat and cook many different kinds of dishes. So fresh food will be top and pre package boxed stuff will be recognized and the nasty stuff it is.</p>
