A much more relaxed and chilled December, reasons that I will write about another time. It appears December, for me, was a month of food, painting, quizzes, catch ups, naps, and rest. Much rest. Things did seem to slow down for me, which I'm very grateful for. I had the time and space to step [...]
I had been wanting to bake something Christmassy last year in an effort to embrace the Christmas spirit, considering the lack of festivities all around.
