Nourishing the Hickman Nest: Coffee, Catnaps, and Covered Dinners!

Fredericksburg, VA

Story

The Hickman household just got a little louder, a lot fuller, and a whole lot more exciting! DJ and Shannon are welcoming their fifth bundle of joy into the world—and their first little boy! DJ is always on the full-time grind, while Shannon is taking a well-deserved break from her business, Mackenzie Clare, to manage the beautiful chaos of transitioning to a family of seven. We couldn't be happier for them as they navigate this incredible new chapter. Daddy & Mama's hands are officially tied up! While their hearts are overflowing with love for their new baby boy and their four other wonderful daughters, we all know the transition period (especially the first few weeks!) can be challenging. Juggling newborn snuggles, sibling attention, and basic household needs leaves very little "thyme" for cooking. That’s where we come in! Let's rally around this mighty family of seven and keep them fueled, fed, and feeling the love. By signing up for a meal slot, you’re providing more than just dinner—you're providing peace of mind, time to rest, and the energy they need to shower their new son and his siblings with attention.


Special Notes

A few notes on feeding the crew: No dietary restrictions here! The family is happy to eat anything and everything. Homemade is wonderful, but takeout is a treat! If cooking isn't your thing, gift cards to their favorite spots are incredibly helpful: Hangry Joes, Chick-fil-A, and Panera Bread. "Love Money" (cash or contributions to a diaper fund) to help with general expenses is also a fantastic way to assist them during this busy time. Thank you for helping us nourish their beautiful transition and fill their fridge (and their hearts!) with support. With love and gratitude 🥰 Registry link: https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/shannon-thorpe-november-2025-spotsylvania/2NEUXKDTWA635
