Bad Moms Brownies
I am a Hallmark Christmas movie enthusiast. I used to laugh at the idea of all the sappiness, but then I got sucked into the first one I dared to watch. I sat down just for a couple of sarcastic laughs, but I ended up crying and smiling with joy. Holiday spirit does exist! But… Continue reading Bad Moms Brownies

(And I forgot to take pictures of the room and projects!)… Continue reading Spring Make and Take

As we are in the deep now into the Christmas season, and the Third Sunday of Advent has now passed, the most popular Biblical passages frequently come to mind: 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him.
