REFLECTING

January was filled with emotion, goals, and cleaning; at least in the Smith household. I know for many of you January is the month of new beginnings or resolutions. This newsletter was just that for me, something new I wanted to include with the blog. I'm excited to share recipes, ideas, and more that pertain to the coming month

This time of the year is cold (usually) around here in midwest. We're hunkered in sipping warm drinks and eating cozy food. For our family it's also a time of celebration as we welcome in Spring with the Lunar New Year! Every year I stop by my kids' classes and talk about the New Year with stories of our traditions and this year, I read a book, "Bringing In the New Year" by Grace Lin.

Now... that it's February, this is month I like to take a few minutes and reflect. See how the start of the year has gone and just pause before things get really busy.

In this month's newsletter I'm sharing recipe Ideas for most people's favorite viewing of the month (the Super Bowl), Valentines, and some fun crafts and shopping ideas. and things we like to do/use when you're stuck inside.

I wish you happiness and good health in the Year of the Snake!

I discovered Gourmend last year and have fallen in love with their bone broths. They are delicious! Not only does Gourmend offer bone broths, but they also offer other cooking essentials that replace symptom-causing ingredients with low FODMAP alternatives. If you have digestive sensitivity I highly recommend giving this brand a try!
