Regardless of how busy your family’s daily schedules might be, there’s something special about getting together for a homemade meal. And even though every family is different, the idea of sharing dinner with loved ones is something we all understand. With Mother’s Day coming up, it’s a good time to think about how this simple tradition can bring families closer. After all, cooking together is a great way to show love and make memories.
At HelloFresh, we’re deeply proud of the community and connection that can be fostered with the help of our meal kits. We’ve seen long-distance parents and children cooking together over Facetime, busy parents crossing grocery shopping off of their to-do lists without stepping foot in a store, and families making time every week to choose the dinners they enjoy best for their next deliveries – it’s humbling to see our meal kits help simplify mealtimes so our customers can focus on the people they’re sharing it with.
This Mother’s Day, we checked with moms around the country to see what benefits they find with their weekly deliveries. The consensus? Our meal kits have helped bring families together and make mealtime fun (and stress-free), and we’re proud to share a few of these sentiments. Keep reading for a handful of mothers who allow HelloFresh to help make their lives a little easier.
- “HelloFresh has made family meals easier for us. Having a go-to a couple of days a week has relieved some stress and gotten the kids involved in meal planning and cooking. Win-win.” — Stephanie P.
- “I think the two things that I really struggle with are: going to the grocery store, probably every two days, and figuring out what to cook. Now, the week before, I look at the menu and say, those look good. Those are different. Let’s try those. And so I think between that and the convenience of it just coming to your door has been so helpful for us.” — Christine M.
- “The meals are delicious. Always new and interesting meals to try, while keeping favorites. I love coming home from work and all my meals for the week are ready. No rushed grocery trips. My family finally looks forward to dinner.” — Tracey H.
- “A wide variety of fresh food options delivered to my door with no waste? Count me in! My family has enjoyed over 300 meals and we’re still lovin’.” — Libby H.
- “The food is always fresh, tasty, easy to make, and healthy. Customer service is always willing to help if you have any concerns. I work night shift so its a great, easy way to make sure my family gets healthy meals.” — Constance W.
- “I have been using HelloFresh now and I’ve never had a bad experience. The food is delicious and it makes me feel like a better parent for actually cooking for my kids!” — Jill B.

- “We just love picking meals to try. Our kids are trying more things and helping in the kitchen. Takes the guess work out of dinner and I never forget an ingredient.” — Jamie W.
So, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s raise a glass to all the incredible moms, grandmas, and maternal figures who’ve made these moments possible. Here’s to the laughter, the love, and the unforgettable meals shared together.
Before we go, it’s essential to recognize that there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to motherhood and family dynamics. While the kitchen may serve as a focal point for some, for others, the heart of family connection lies in different spaces and activities. Motherhood, after all, isn’t defined by one’s culinary prowess or time spent behind the stove. It’s about the love, support, and guidance that mothers provide in myriad ways, whether it’s through shared hobbies, heartfelt conversations, or simply being there through life’s ups and downs.
