I’m under the weather today,

both literally and figuratively.

However, I’m thankful for these moments because they remind me (and hopefully you) that we’re not super human.

We can’t do it all, all the time.

And that there is a time for everything. Today my body (and the weather) are telling me to…

s  l  o  w    d  o  w  n.

So for today, a simple and gentle reminder to listen to what your mind, body and soul need and take the time to do it. Like time to make these festive treats…

Description: My roommate, Jackie, discovered the base of the Num Yummys (as we affectionately named them) recipe around this time of year during our junior year at Penn State. I swear we made them almost every day for a month. Super versatile and easy, Num Yummys are perfect for holiday coworker gifts, a hostess present or a simple Sunday afternoon pick-me-up. I promise you won’t be able to make just one batch!
