Hello my friend Daniella, thank you for these very kind words. It was so nice to see you for just a little bit in December. I look forward to sharing a cup of tea together soon. XO

Dear Linda – it’s been quite a year, hasn’t it. I’m thankful to know you and for all the times we’ve shared together. Praying it will be a wonderful year ahead and that we can continue to be that “glue’ in the lives of others. Cheers to a beautiful New Year ahead for you and Jack. XO

Dear Puja – thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoy writing almost as much as baking. You are a very sweet person and I enjoy your writing and posts also. Happy New Year. XO

Thank you Susie. XO

Thank you Carina – my uncle was avery special man. He was loved by all and kind. Just very kind. He had a lot he could have bragged about through the years – he graduated from Princeton and was very successful – but he never did. He was gregarious and funny, and he always had a kind word for everyone. This is my uncle who was 6″4″. It’s just hard to believe that he is really gone. I know this is a super hard time for my aunt. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you and your family are doing well. XO

Thank you Aunt Pinkie – I hope yours was wonderful and your New Year’s party too. XO

Thank you Nancy – we love you all too. Wishing you and your beautiful family a Happy New Year full of joy, health and blessing. XO

Thank you Kellie – it is so great to have the boys home. Loved seeing Erik and I know your family is making lots of great memories while he is home. Enjoy every precious minute! XO
