Learning to thrive in a family of five.
Welcome to this weeks eco-friendly Friday! I hope everyone has had a wonderful work week and is ready to kick off the weekend with some potential new life choices. Don't worry, I'm not about to tell you to put on some slippers and cancel all of your plans, although I can recommend some stellar Netflix [...]
With flurries heading our direction already, it's time for hot chocolate. What took me ages to find online took my husband a whole google search to dig up, but while I wait for some vegan hot chocolate packets to come in the mail I made this quick fix.
