AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD!

I am on a major kick to loose my baby weight, mainly because very few of my clothes fit. And even though the scale says I am 5 pounds away, my stomach certainly doesn't look like it!! And I don't think my belly will ever be the same. But, my babies are DEFINITELY worth it!!!

ANYWAY, back to the bread...Mark and Susan Smith, a precious family that we attend church with, brought over a few gifts for Griffin and Paisley and also brought over some Amish Friendship Bread. Oh my gosh, it is ridiculous!! Paisley loves it and I am sure you and your children will, too! Here are the directions. And share with your friends...they will love it too!!

Hope you are all having a blessed Sunday!

XOXO-
