Well, I did it.
Food Jules was a success today at the Monroe Farmers Market. I can’t believe I did it. I actually did it. I created Food Jules and I brought him to life again. I was able to share him with others today. It was so nice to talk about him.
Although I was extremely nervous this morning, everything seemed to flow nicely once the market opened and people started coming by the table. I was so thrilled to see so many familiar faces…. THANK YOU to all of our friends, families, neighbors that stopped over today. Your support meant so much to me and I couldn’t do all of this without your love.
Even with a busy afternoon, I couldn’t stop thinking about Julian. As I walked past one of his photos tonight, one of his many ultrasound photos, I cried and told him that I would much rather have him here with me. Food Jules makes me feel a little closer to him. For whatever reason, it does. I hope that I can make him proud of all of our efforts. To share our story with others. To inspire others to love and to be thankful for all of their blessings. Mommy is trying her best Julian.
Oh, how I love looking at these photos… I remember holding him and having him close to my chest. I loved it. When Julian was born, he was in the NICU and I was downstairs on the maternity floor. Even at 2am, 5am, anytime, I couldn’t wait to go back to the NICU to feed him and hold him again. I LOVED IT. It was the most special memory of him. He looks so sweet and cozy laying against my chest. I wish I could understand why this has all happened. I don’t know if I’ll ever really know why he couldn’t stay with us. I wish so much that I could hold him again. No one knows how much this hurts and how painful it is to think about him and know that he’s not really ever going to come back.
I’m a nervous wreck!
Well, today is the day… hopefully, the sun will come out. I am so tired of all this rain!
Stop by the Monroe Farmer’s Market from 3-6pm on the town green, off Route 111. We will have Organic Jams, Hot Fudge Sauce, Strawberry Sauce, Granola, Banana Bread and an an assortment of Muffins…..
Today’s muffins are chocolate chip, corn, morning glory and apple pie!
Hope to see you there.
Food Jules featured in Monroe Newsletter!
Food Jules has been featured in this week’s newsletter of the Monroe Farmers Market. The market opens on Friday, 6/24 from 3-6pm.
The kids are very excited about it and so am I, as well as being extremely nervous! It’s a big day for us… our first public appearance…. as Team Food Jules! We’ve got Homemade Organic Jams, Hot Fudge Sauce, Granola, Banana Bread and an assortment of freshly baked muffins.
Gift baskets are also available upon request. A gift basket filled with these yummy goodies is a great gift for friends, family, teachers, colleagues etc and a good way to get a taste of everything! As a matter of fact, we gave our first gift basket to Lilliana’s bus driver this morning from all of the kids at our bus stop. Hope to see you all there.
Love
Team Food Jules (in memory of our beloved Julian)
Homemade Sweet Goodness
We all love granola in this house, especially homemade granola! Granola is so easy to make and it’s so versatile, you can add just about anything to it from walnuts and pecans to dried cranberries, chocolate chips or coconut, or all of it. You can add granola to yogurt, cereal, oatmeal or just eat it on its own (which is what I prefer). I add maple syrup, honey and a little brown sugar to sweeten it up. The pure maple syrup and the local honey, really gives the granola a delicious, sweet flavor.
Food Jules’ Homemade Organic Granola will also be available for sale at the Monroe Farmers Market starting next Friday, June 24th. Hope to see you there!
