First Friday of December!!! We are in it- fully encased within the holiday season. I love this time of year… the parties, the food, the friends, the gift-giving… It’s all so fun!

I came home from work this week to the most wonderful surprise – a live wreath from L.L. Bean from my mom and dad! This wreath is amazing, so beautiful and it smells so delightful. It is an amazing gift to buy yourself or someone you love (trust me, they will feel loved!)

If you haven’t been to Trader Joe’s in awhile, you should. I love some of their seasonal items, and I just discovered the best drink. The Sparkling Cranberry Juice Blend is so good! Refreshing and super tasty, it is the perfect alternative for those who don’t want an alcoholic beverage… or a nice mixer with an alcoholic beverage! There are just so many options!

I had the chance to do a special cookie order this week, for a former student on her 18th birthday. These cookies were created to replicate her beloved dog, Marvin, and I just love how they turned out. I have decided that custom dog cookies are my new favorite ones to make!

Speaking of dogs…Lily hopes that your weekend is just as fabulous as hers! Have a good one!
