We are two weeks away from Christmas. Hard to believe how quickly this month is going. Are you singing Joy to the world yet or are you crazy busy getting everything together like me? Joy doesn’t demand perfection—it thrives in gratitude and connection. I am going to try to work on this.
To help with connection I have something delicious to share with you. Mexican food is one of our favorites and this is super easy and tasty.
