Happy January, hard to believe another week has flown by, meaning we are well into 2025. There has been so many great features shared with us every week and I truly hope y’all continue sharing into 2025. A fresh start, and as I stated,  January is back to me, Linda from A Labour of Life.  So, lets see what you have been up to!

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Mix is extremely easy to make when you need a few inexpensive homemade gifts to give to a teacher or a few friends.

Sharing something slightly different in the Homemade variety, a calendar of tasks. Lets start January off properly.
