Here’s y’all’s morning dose of cuteness!

I know so many of y’all ask me whenever you see me how my newest little grandson is doing. Well, here he is this morning with his brand-new toy, and just look how excited he is! Isn’t he the cutest little thing?

That look in his eyes as he discovers his new toy! The wonder and excitement on that sweet little face just melts my heart!

I have to say, I’m one lucky grandma! My daughter is so good about sending us pictures and videos every single day. Usually one in the morning, one at night, and sometimes a few in between. We get to see all those precious little milestones, from rolling over for the very first time to discovering a new toy. We even got to see his poor little face after coming home from the doctor and getting his first round of shots. Bless his little heart!

As most of y’all know, all five of my grandkids live miles away. I have four on the West Coast and one on the East Coast, and here we are smack dab in the middle of the country! I sure wish I could see them all more often, but those pictures and videos mean more to me than I can put into words. It makes the distance a little easier.

Last night, my husband and I were sitting around, and out of nowhere he says, “We haven’t gotten our video today. What the hell?” LOL! I kid you not, not even two minutes later, here comes our video! Apparently, Grandpa has gotten just as spoiled as Grandma!

I’m so thankful that even though we’re miles apart, we still get to be part of those everyday little moments. Technology sure is a wonderful thing when it comes to being a long-distance grandparent.

Now, y’all tell me, isn’t this sweet? I might be a little biased, but I don’t think so‼️❤️

Y’all remember a few weeks back when I mentioned that Heartland Pantry had put in a bid to do concessions at one of the most popular holiday craft shows in our area?

Well, we got it! Heartland Pantry will officially be providing breakfast and lunch concessions at the Higginsville Holiday Market on Saturday, November 21!

So, if you’re planning on heading out to the Higginsville schools to do some holiday shopping, don’t worry about planning breakfast or lunch around your trip. We’ve got you covered!

We’re bringing all the good stuff! Breakfast favorites, delicious lunch options, and we’ll even be featuring a Dirty Soda Bar!

There will also be a coffee trailer outside operated by an FFA student who was there last year, so you can grab your favorite coffee before heading inside to shop!

And speaking of shopping, this event is packed with some amazing vendors! You’ll be able to shop for Christmas gifts, grab some Heartland Pantry food, and even sit down and enjoy your meal because we’ll have a seating area available for breakfast and lunch!

NOW, HERE’S SOMETHING FOR THE VENDORS!

We know how hard it can be to leave your booth during a busy show, so we’ll be offering vendor pre-ordering with a special vendor discount! You can order ahead and have your food ready for pickup or delivered right to your booth.

Not a vendor but want to pre-order? Absolutely! We’ll have that option available for shoppers, too. Just place your order ahead of time, and we’ll have it ready when you arrive!

We’ll share more details about our menu and pre-ordering as we get closer to the event.

Holiday shopping, great vendors, Heartland Pantry breakfast and lunch, and a Dirty Soda Bar?

YES, PLEASE!

We are so excited to be part of this popular Lafayette County tradition, and we can’t wait to see y’all in Higginsville on November 21!

I’m so sad to see the end of an era. Fun House Pizza wasn’t just one of my favorite places to get pizza. It was a huge part of my childhood, and seeing it close honestly breaks my heart.

We practically grew up in that place! My dad used to work at the one in Blue Springs, if y’all remember that location. It was where the class reunion bar was. Not the one on south seven. We went to the Raytown location a few times, but Independence was always our go-to!

Who remembers when they had the horses you could ride? And then, of course, people started suing because they fell off the horses. Good grief! Those were the days! Ha ha!

It’s just crazy watching all these places we grew up loving close their doors. Little pieces of my childhood are disappearing right before my eyes, and it makes me so sad.

I know it’s just a pizza place to some people, but to me, it’s a whole lot of memories. The pizza, the atmosphere, the fun times and all those childhood memories that you just can’t replace.

I’m seriously gutted over this one. I don’t even know how to feel about it.

Anybody else grow up going to Fun House? I know I can’t be the only one with some great memories of that place!

Well, y’all, this is what a THREE-DAY CATERING WEEKEND CRIME SCENE looks like! 😂I mean, seriously, LOOK AT THOSE DISHES!...

Well, y’all, this is what a THREE-DAY CATERING WEEKEND CRIME SCENE looks like! 😂

I mean, seriously, LOOK AT THOSE DISHES! Pots, pans, trays, bowls and just about every piece of kitchen equipment we own! I’m still trying to figure out how we made it through this weekend! It was crazy, it was wild, and it was nonstop, but WE DID IT!

And after surveying this crime scene, I have officially determined that the dishwasher, AKA ME 🙋‍♀️, doesn’t just deserve a raise. She deserves OVERTIME, HAZARD PAY, a PAID VACATION and an EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH parking spot! 😂

But hey, they’re all clean now! At least until we turn around and do it all over again next weekend, which is going to be another wild one with a two day festival thrown in there. My sister will be taking the event on.

All joking aside, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to every single person who trusted Heartland Pantry with your catering this weekend! We absolutely love what we do, and hearing all the wonderful feedback from everyone makes every bit of this craziness worth it! Those compliments and kind words really do keep us going!

There’s a whole lot that goes on behind the scenes that nobody ever sees, and THIS is just a little glimpse of it!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find out who I talk to about getting that dishwasher a raise! Oh wait, that’s me too! 😂

Thank y’all for keeping Heartland Pantry busy! We appreciate every single one of you more than you know‼️❤️

Another baby shower in the books for Heartland Pantry! 💙

Today we had the opportunity to cater a baby shower for some dear family friends, and we had quite the spread! Meatballs, teriyaki chicken wings, all kinds of delicious dips, and plenty of goodies for everyone to enjoy!

The family had one special request for a pumpkin dessert, so we whipped up a Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle with chunks of cheesecake, a creamy pumpkin topping, whipped cream, and chopped pecans. Y’all, that one was a hit! We received so many compliments, and everyone said it was delicious! I think we might have to make that one again!

The shower was held at 2nd Street Nutrition in Odessa, and I want to give a little shoutout to Nick and Laura! They recently expanded their business into a bigger space, and they’re now going to be hosting events!

So if you have a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, or another small gathering coming up and you’re looking for a place to host it, reach out to Nick and Laura at Second Street Nutrition! They’ve got a great and very affordable space right here in Odessa!

And don’t forget to contact Heartland Pantry for all your food and snack needs! We can also help plan your entire event, from securing the event space to decorating, catering, and all the little details in between. We can take care of everything! All you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself!

Heartland Pantry is all set up and ready for the Odessa High School Class of 1981 to celebrate their 45th Class Reunion! 🐾❤️🖤🐾

Thank y’all so much for choosing Heartland Pantry to provide the spread for your special celebration! I hope you enjoy every bite while reminiscing about all those crazy days back in the 80s!

Cruising NolandRoad, running through fields when the cops showed up to break up a party, and somebody probably had a Bartles & Jaymes w**e cooler or a bottle of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill in their hand! Ha ha!

Now don’t think I don’t know what y’all were up to back then! I’m not that many years behind you, and my aunt graduated in 1982 from Grain Valley, so trust me, I’ve heard a few stories! Ha ha!

Here’s to 45 years of memories, friendships, and probably a few stories that still can’t be told in public!

Thank you again for letting Heartland Pantry be part of your reunion! I hope y’all have a wonderful evening catching up and reliving the good old days‼️❤️

What a gorgeous Saturday morning here in Odessa!

Odessa hosted the Odessa Marching Invitational today, and I was able to sneak out for a few minutes and grab some pictures of the Odessa Band! I sure wish I would’ve had time to hang around and watch all the other bands perform, but I could at least hear some of that great music coming through the windows!

Heartland Pantry has a busy day ahead of us, so there’s no time for slacking today!

Hope everybody has a wonderful Saturday! It is absolutely gorgeous outside, so get out there and enjoy it, y’all‼️❤️
