New mom gifts

Tis the season!! We signed up to bring some meals this week for some new parents and I hit up my dear sister and new(ish) mom Kirsten for some advice on what to bring.

For dinner I made:

Corn and potato chowder.   http://www.dwellonjoy.com/2012/02/roasted-corn-potato-chowder.html
Buns (Trader Joes finish baking buns)
Lemon bars
Banana muffins ( for next day's breakfast).  http://www.flowerpatchfarmgirl.com/2013/12/decadent-fresh-banana-muffins.html

For Mom I brought:

A sizeable collection of magazines (because I'm a hoarder)
Home made sugar scrub.
Chocolate
Nice soap (Trader Joes lavendar and Anthropogie volcano are my favorites!)

Sugar scrub directions

- Turbinato sugar
- Coconut Oil
- Lime essential oil
- Lemon essential oil

Start with about 2 parts sugar to 1 part oil, and add more oil as needed.
Add a few drops of each essential oil to each jar you make.
