Meet the IL team

The Illinois chapter is the original MMA group that started it all. We've gone through several membership changes but here are our current members:

Lisa is a 31-year-old stay-at-home mom to her 3 year old son. She's been married for six years and she and her husband will be adding to their family this spring! Once the kids are in school, she plans to go back to school herself. She's still not sure what she wants to do when she grows up. She has a B.S. in psychology so maybe something related to that.

Jodi is 39 years old with a nearly 13 year old son and 7 year old daughter. She has been married 16 years to Eric. Jodi has a BS in Marketing and used to work in Human Resources for 10 years. She doesn't miss it at all anymore and loves being a stay at home mom. Jodi volunteers at the schools and church and recently started a Brownie Troop.

Laryssa is a 34 year old stay-at-home mom with a fantastic four year old son and a one year old son. She has been married for ten years. She enjoys staying at home and pursuing various interests.

Jen is a 28 year old mom working part-time as a Critical Care Nurse. She has 2 little princesses who are three and one. She has been married for 5 years. She enjoys playing with her kids and traveling.

Have you met the WI chapter?

About this blog:

We are a group of moms who get together about once a month or so to cook Meals Made Ahead.

Meals Made Ahead are great because it's nice to always have something in the freezer for those nights that are busy, those nights when you can't think of anything to make, those nights when you have nothing to cook with because you didn't feel like dragging two screaming kids through the grocery store, those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.

Sure, we could do this on our own. But it's much more fun to cook with friends (and share the clean up!)

The secret ingredient

"If a woman could see the sparks of light going forth from her fingertips when she is cooking, and the substance of light that goes into the food she handles, she would be amazed to see how much of herself she charges into the meals that she prepares for her family and friends. It is one of the most important and least understood activities of life, that the radiation and feeling that go into the preparation of food affect everyone who partakes of it. And this activity should be unhurried, peaceful, and happy because the substance of the lifestream performing the service flows into that food and is eaten, and actually becomes part of the energy of the receiver. It would be better that an individual did not eat at all than to eat food that has been prepared under a feeling of anger, apathy, resentment, depression, or any outward pressure."
