small things, big thanks…..

Thank you Thursday! You bring me much JOY! Its one day closer to being with my family for the holiday weekend, it’s only having a half day of work and other obligations, and it’s the feeling of that HOLIDAY marathon high! Like I said, it’s the small things that need a BIG THANKS!

Thank you Chelsea for being the best Secret Santa Blogger ever! And a special thanks to Tina for hosting this awesome holiday exchange. Just look at my gluten free goody package I received!


I was pretty excited, can you tell? Oh and the hubs was thankful that he got to try some DOUGH BALLS!

Thank you Thursday for giving a ONE DAY break from the kitchen. I will enjoy it today because tomorrow I will be back in it, fully ready to make my great grandma’s secret recipes and capture that Holiday tradition!
No cooking in the kitchen means a quick meal. Thank you Falafel Republic for providing me with these delicious gluten free bites.
