There are so many things I want to get done in the next few days and, even though I know it is physically impossible to finish my list, I can still try right? So excited! So for those of you just joining in, I should mention that I’m doing recipes inspired by Christmas songs this week. Yesterday was Winter Wonderland with my little snowflake…
