Just wanted to pop in and share a cute holiday gift that I’ve been working on ~ Mistletoe Survival Kits. I’ve been hoarding all things candy cane & peppermint for the past couple months. Last year I saw this cute idea and wanted to put my own spin on it to give as gifts this … [Read more…]
How is it already November 4th? I ran into Trader Joe’s for milk and eggs this morning and the 99cent Christmas advent calendars are out, the candy cane green tea is on the shelves and the Thanksgiving staples are stacked up high!
