Shop Small Saturday

Hi friend!  How’s your Thanksgiving weekend going?  I had a sweet surprise where I got to spend some time with Jordan and it was lovely!!  We played, we baked pop tarts and more of Rhonda’s chocolate chip cookies, we cuddled, we played basketball and watched Gilmore Girls.  She calls it “GG” and when we have alone time, it’s “just the Gs”.  She’s so special!

Did you do any Black Friday shopping yesterday?  I thought the sales have been really good.  See my picks here.

Today, we celebrate and support the small shops that are working hard to fulfill their dreams and support their families.  Here are a few of my faves with more at the bottom of this post!

MORE SMALL SHOPS TO SUPPORT
