A Yule surprise has arrived! Thank you Mitch! I am hopeful to get things mailed/ordered/ sent for the holidays this weekend. I am always in awe of your timeliness 😘🩵

Avanders Just dropping by to say hi and hope you‘re finding some peace these days!! ❄️💙 2w

Chrissyreadit @Avanders my irony… with everything going on i forgot to register my car- and something popped while i was driving my moms car- and it needs a new engine. sometimes i just need to know its almost time to open a fun swap package as an excellent diversion from real life. and reread fourth wing and iron flame for 10th time 🤣 2w

Avanders 😳🫢😂 lol man I know that feeling!! But hoping that… peace still finds you soon!! 💙💙 2w

1. When the kids were small, they would get into their pjs and we would drive around the suburb with the coolest lights. Now that they‘re in their 30s they probably wouldn‘t want to go!
2. On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel. Recommended by a couple of Litsy readers.

dabbe Make a carafe of hot chocolate and Peppermint Schnapps to travel in the car, and I bet they'd love to go! Matt and I do that every other year. 💙❄️💙 3w

AmyG That‘s a dark book….but so good. And we were just talking about how we would drive the kids around looking at lights. (edited) 3w

Lesliereadsalot I love that idea! Maybe hubby and I will do that ourselves 🩷 @dabbe (edited) 3w

Lesliereadsalot I can do dark. I like your recommendations! 🩷 @AmyG (edited) 3w

Autumn from the Heart of the Home | Susan Branch

1. Cranberries (bread, cake, jam, sugared - everything!)
2. My friends ❤️
3. Fall candles
4. Early morning latte and picture books
5. Crisp outdoor lunch at a nursery

#5joysfriday

Thank you for the tag last week @CoffeeK8 ! And thank you for doing this @DebinHawaii ! I love reading everyone‘s joys each week 💛

kspenmoll I afore cranberry anything! Lovely list! 1mo

tpixie Starbucks has a new cranberry drink. I think the spices are a little heavy on cinnamon, but it was a fun change from a strawberry refresher. Frozen cranberries in plain Greek yogurt is really good. ❤️❤️❤️ 1mo

CoffeeK8 That lunch location looks so cozy for the fall! 1mo

Daisey I love cranberries this time of year as well. I canned some juice last week and am planning on a batch of cranberry eggnog bread soon. 1mo

DebinHawaii A lovely list of fall joys! 💛💛💛Cranberries are perfect this time of year! Thanks for joining in. 🤗 1mo

mabell @kspenmoll Same! Do you have any favorite recipes? 1mo

mabell @tpixie Oh I may have to try that! I rarely get the cold drinks (I‘m a big mocha fan!), but that one sounds fun for the season! And I never would have thought of frozen cranberries with yogurt! 1mo

mabell @CoffeeK8 It was! They also had tower heaters that were very welcome 😄 1mo

mabell @Daisey Wow - how did you can juice?? And please share your bread recipe! What a unique combo! I think cranberries would be perfect for balancing rich eggnog 1mo

mabell @DebinHawaii @dabbe Thank you! 1mo

Daisey This is one of my favorite winter quick breads! https://www.yourcupofcake.com/eggnog-cranberry-bread/ 1mo

Daisey I used the simpler method to can one batch of juice and it should be ready just in time for Christmas. https://practicalselfreliance.com/canning-cranberry-juice/ 1mo

tpixie @mabell your wee one with the puppy is adorable 🥰 1mo

tpixie @Daisey thanks for the recipe! I love both cranberries & eggnog! But I‘ve never had them together!!! 1mo

mabell @tpixie They are my sweethearts! She loves him so much, and he loves her when food is involved 😂 1mo

mabell @Daisey I‘ve printed the bread recipe! I just have to pick up a couple of ingredients & I‘m definitely making that this week! The simpler method sounds like a fun, tasty experiment! If I were more comfortable canning, I‘d do it. Once I‘ve done some canning, I‘ll try the drink too! I wonder how it would be with some spices added with the sugar. You‘ll have to report back on how this is too! (I don‘t remember if you mentioned you had made it before) 1mo

Daisey @tpixie @mabell I hope you both enjoy the bread! As for the juice, I‘ve read about people making fruit blends and spiced versions (although you need to be careful to keep acid content because of water bathing), but I‘ve only made plain cranberry myself. 1mo

And just like that I‘m done with #monthlymagazineblitz for February. This was an older issue from when they still had the tear-out page in the back with highlights of some of the articles. Here are some tips on how to create a beautiful #bouquet by matching your flowers with the right vase. #luckyinlove

Getting to know the #GingerbreadGems:

1. I love a good hot chocolate and pumpkin pie is my favorite holiday dessert.

2. My family always celebrates “Nochebuena” on Christmas Eve.

3. My favorite activity is the various word games!

4. Right before COVID hit in March 2020, our group of friends had an amazingly fun time at “Trailgate,” an unofficial tailgating party that celebrates the ceremonial start of the Iditarod dog sled race.

Roary47 Yay! Hot chocolate is also my fav 🤤☕️ 13mo
