Let It Be…

August 26, 2018 by Joy the Baker 12 Comments

Friends!

Thank you for your patience and grace this Sunday!  I’ll have our Sunday links for reading up on Monday this week.  These days have been so full and I’d rather do a great job than a rushed job.  Ya feel me? 

Just like every other Sunday, I hope for you hot coffee and lots of ease.  Perhaps this French Toast For One or Two will inspire you to take a few moments in the kitchen today.  Or maybe a kitchen altar will help you make space for the week.  Just some offerings.

Take good care and I’ll see you tomorrow!

xo Joy
