Good morning, Ms. Maria,
So sorry to hear the loss of your friend, remeber all the sweet things she and you did.
I love to read your weekly emails and enjoy hearing about your boys’ adventures since they were born, especially Caleb as I have a grandson named Caleb and the same age. He lives in another country, so I don’t get to see him in person too much.
I also love your recommendations, even tho I am three times your age, but have purchased several items you have suggested. Your recipes are amazing, and I have several as my go to.
You and your family are beautiful.
Thank you Kerri! And how fun your son is a Caleb too:) I am glad you enjoy our content. We appreciate you being here!

Thank you!
I ad read about your friend Elise’s passing. It is such a tragic story. I hope her frinds are gathering about her family to support them through the loss.
So sad.
