Welcome to another Coffee + Convo! I keep forgetting Halloween is only 3 days away! Are you doing anything fun? Making any cool desserts? I’m just excited for the Halloween candy to go on sale…
As much time as I waste on Pinterest, I’ve also found some really good ‘stuff’. Mostly recipes, but I love reading quotes especially during confusing or stressful times. This week, I’m loving this quote and trying to keep the words in mind!
