Thank you so much for your comment, I typed the wrong name in my response (i put alessandra when i said "looking forward to it" - now i need to find alessandra and tell her i forgot to include her response which was that i was doing ok but have fallen behind on the posts, including my own LOL, with some unexpected needs that came up through friends who are struggling) but am looking forward to getting to know you as well sweet bella! ...sigh...i am quite behind on my blog posts these past few weeks but it's been such a full plate between my teething babies, the usual routine, and spending some extra time with some friends who were in desperate need of encouragement. So glad you found me via Chef D, I am sure it is nothing less than PROVIDENCE :) - wishing you a beautiful holiday season as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour!
