My True Favorites of 2020
It's been a year, hasn't it? When I reflect back on the last twelve months and think about all that occurred (joyful and difficult), my head spins.

Puzzles by Candlelight and Other Cozy Tips
My daughter recently asked me if we could start a new puzzle.

Well, here we are, eight months later, still sticking close to home, and this extrovert has adapted to becoming a homebody 🙂 *This post may contain some affiliate links which means I may earn a tiny commission when you purchase something I linked.

HELLO THERE 🥰 Hi there! I am typing this out on a lovely fall afternoon, and I am happy about the new season. While I love, love, love summertime, I feel eager for a change. The anticipation of wearing sweaters, boots, and scarves gets me excited for autumn. Despite not living in a region that experiences the changes all four seasons, I still embrace the coziness of the falling leaves, cooler temperatures, and crisp morning air.
