Happy Friday 1/21/22

Happy Friday! How was your week? We’ve been wintering a lot around here - sleeping more, baking, reading, Nintendo-ing, playing card games, and generally enjoying our time inside. There’s often a candle burning and something baking in the oven or about to be baked or being bookmarked in the cookbook to be baked. Winter has a lovely pace, don’t you think? Wishing you a slow and healthy weekend!
