![I’m feeling ALL of the feels right now. Anyone else? 🎄🥰😭😩😢❤️
Excited one minute and sad the next. It’s weird... seeing Christmas lights, decorated trees and hearing Christmas music this year feels different. Sort of warm and fuzzy/depressing and emotional 😞 Hopefully I’m not the only one! 😕
But. One thing that always feels good is baking with my kids. It brings back memories of me baking with my mom and grandma, which always feels so good. My kids love pouring, mixing, cutting, and decorating and love even more seeing the finished product 🥰
It’s the one Christmas tradition that feels normal this year - no masks or social distancing required 🙌✨
[partner] I’m proud to work with my friends at @madewithlocal (always—I LOVE this Canadian company!) who put together a special bundle this holiday season (the Gingerbread Bundle!) to bring the spirit of the holidays to your kitchens. These cute little gingerbread cookies are not only delicious, but nutritious too, which the dietitian-mom in me loves😊
It comes complete with:
- 2 Original Goodness granola bar mixes
- 1 mini pack of Crosby’s molasses
- 1 pack of ginger from the Gathering Place Spices
- 1 gingerbread man cookie cutter
- One of @madewithlocal new recipe booklets (includes the gingerbread cookie recipe!) 🎁
You can purchase the Gingerbread Bundle on @madewithlocal ‘s online shop (link in bio! ☝️).
OH! And if you haven’t entered our holiday giveaway yet, you must! There’s only one week left! All of the details are in my feed a few posts back. There are 4 amazing prizes (including a grand prize that includes a free 3-month subscription to @madewithlocal ‘s Real Food Bars 🤤) and it’s so easy to enter.
Happy holidays 😘🎄❤️
