    I made my first hot cocoa bar this year and it’s MY NEW FAVORITE THING! It inspired me to clean off a counter that’s otherwise usually cluttered with stuff, which my hubby loved, and now it’s a seasonally festive area that sparks joy every time I walk by. Marie Kondo would be proud!

Stay Inspired!
