Week 4: Blue Apron Meal Delivery Service Review

Week 4: Blue Apron Meal Delivery Service Review

Hi everyone - we had our final box of Blue Apron meals delivered on Friday and I'm really bummed to say we had a major mishap in shipping. When I opened the box, we had sweet pepper and apple cider vinegar that had leaked all over the dry ingredients on the top portion. It completely ruined the one meal bag'd ingredients. I ended up having to throw away the Spiced Chicken Chili ingredients because they had gotten all soggy sitting...

Not a Cloud in the Sky

Not a Cloud in the Sky

There are some days I can stop here and have a million things to tell you and there are others when all I can do is cry. This grieving process is such a roller coaster ride.  I went to get my haircut today and the lady asked me "what happened to your hair? It looks like it's regrowing? Were you sick?" I frowned in the mirror. Yes, I lost a lot of it postpartum and then my son died, and...

A New Endeavor

A New Endeavor

I have spend the last few weeks very focused in prayer. That was one of my small goals for the year. It has been normal in these times to also talk to Toby. Tell him what is on my heart and ask for guidance or some sort of sign as to whether or not I should even be carrying whatever it is that is heavy on my heart and mind. An opportunity presented itself at the beginning of January as...

Week 1: Blue Apron Meal Delivery Service Review

This is our first time trying Blue Apron and a chance to see how well it works for our family versus the normal weekly grocery shopping and (very last minute) dinner choice.
