Hey y’all,
We are deep into fall in the south and you can actually wear a sweater and boots. It’s bonfire season and there’s nothing better than sitting around drinking hot cocoa or whatever your beverage of choice and eating smores. Such fun!
The holiday season is also fast approaching. What kind of Christmas shopper are you? Have you already completed yours or are you a wait until the last minute shopper? I’m more along the lines of a “wait it’s Christmas Eve?” kind of girl. Hey, what’s life without a bit of stress and adventure?
Do y’all have big Thanksgiving plans? Do you cook big meals and then sit around all afternoon and watch football? No, that’s just me and my family? Love those family traditions and I will be cooking for my immediate gang, but wishing I could get together with my extended family too. We have to remember there’s always next year and this too shall pass.
For fun I thought a fall drink recipe was in order, if you make it tag me in some pictures on Facebook or Instagram. I would love to see them.
Love,
Reece
