    I don’t have and never have had a creative thought in my life. I wish I could spend just one day inside your head and take notes on all the creativity that goes on inside it! lol! Seriously, watching you is so fun and amazing. On Sunday’s I come home from church and anxiously watch for 3:00 to come so I can see what awesome new ideas you have for us. As always, I continue to keep you and Jason in my prayers. Y’all are such a wonderful couple. Take care as we head into this joyful holiday season. ♥️🛐♥️ 🎄🎅🏻☃️🎺🥁

    Lots of fabulous ideas. I have my Mom's recipe box and a couple years ago I made a wallet sized mini album for my 17 year-old Granddaughter who is a very good baker and filled it with reproductions of some of the cards for the best Christmas cookies she made. Since she had passed before my Granddaughter was born at least she has a keepsake of my Mom. Food gifts are always well received, especially if the recipient is one who doesn't like to cook or bake and they are so fun to make. Your presentation ideas take those gifts over the top.

    SO incredibly awesome ideas. My daughter has an artistic app that allowed her to replicate my late mother’s recipe cards. The most beautiful and thoughtful gift I’ve ever received. I’m going to make up some reindeer hot chocolate cones for my grandsons, 5 & 7. We have the privilege of my daughter and her family flying from Ohio to western CO for Christmas. The boys will LOVE! Thank your for sharing! ❤ PS, a big thank you to J!

    Leslie, what beautiful ideas. I love the handwritten recipe idea. One little suggestion is to make a color copy of the original so the yellowed vintage paper shows, I think that would be beautiful. I found a silhouette of my Mother from her school days. I color copied and put it in an oval frame. I made one for each of my siblings. It came out beautiful. I love your zest for whatever it is you're doing. God bless you (and Jason).

Looking forward to your next one(s). I enjoy baking at the holidays. I agree presentation is everything. I have never considered a beautiful home as self care, but when you said that it resonated with me immediately.

    Oh my, Leslie, I ADORE this video. Please, tell Jason THANK YOU for sharing his special recipe with us. I am making it for a "Daddy & Son" gift for my hubby and my oldest Son who is 12 .. they LOVE experimenting and creating in the kitchen. What a bonding gift for them as well as some goodness on our table and each "couple" in my family will get a jar and the other ideas, I will be making for the kiddos and the wives in the family. Thank you SO much. Please, I would love for you to do a baking one. My Momma died a few years ago, My Mother in law is literally in her last few days of life, and I do not have anyone to help show me things. Sure I can find things if I Google, but I want to learn TRUE Family things.. I want to make special things for my family too, I just don't have anyone to show me. This would mean so much to this Momma wanting to do things for her family that will be special and can become traditions. This was GREAT!!! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you Jason, the girls and their families.
