Welcome to the Neighborhood!

How wonderful a new family has moved to the neighborhood!

Peeking through the curtains, children are curious to see if there are possible new friends and companions. Neighborhood adults casually walk by hoping to get a glimpse of the new additions.

Give the new family a few days to allow the them time to settle into their surroundings. Understand the move can be a difficult and hectic time for them. Then approach the house with a small platter of treats or casserole. Bearing food, is a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the new neighbors.

What to bring? A family with children may enjoy a platter of cookies, or the wife may appreciate a delicious casserole that can be warmed up to feed the family during these busy times. So the new family does not need to dig up any utensils, send it over as a complete package, including paper plates, cups, napkins and cutlery. Their children may enjoy it as a cheerful picnic, and the parents will find it a wonderful relief. The choices of what to bring are up to you!
