    I have a tip for Naomi when you whip whipped cream put your bowl in the freezer for a while and put a towel over the mixer while it’s whipping. I love that all of your kids are all so into cooking and doing things in the kitchen. That is going to benefit them so much in their future. Try taste of home recipes. They come from home cooks that are tried and true.Love watching your families videos.

      I remember after having my third baby I got the shakes. I was in recovery and the nurse (happened to be a male) said he was going to secure the straps on the gurney because he was afraid I was going shake off the table. The shakes were uncontrollable. He said it was my body reacting to having the baby. It was like I was going into shock. I don’t know the medical terminology but just remember my body literally almost coming off the gurney I was shaking so bad. I think I had 5 heated blankets on top of me.

Thank you so so so much for helping me🥰 Overjoyed the pregnancy is continuing to be healthy~my prayers shall continue. I’ll attempt to make the donuts for a church gathering here today. I adore and love each and everyone of you. Weird I know bc we’ve never met yet I feel like family with every video as you create them to include EVERYONE no matter whom they are.
