Hi Friends,

It’s officially celebration season so I wanted to share my thoughts on gatherings and being more intentional about it. Because let’s face it, it’s easy to feel pressure to fill up your calendar with all the things this time of year, right? What if we take a breath and just go about it with a little more intention and maybe in an even slightly different way so that we can give our energy to the things that matter most? I’m sharing a few ways I connect with my people over the holiday season and yes, most of them relate to food and cooking but maybe not in the way you might think.

A few links you might want to check out as well:
