A Summer Fruit Gift Inspired by the Farmers’ Market
One of my favourite things about summer is stopping at roadside farm stands and farmers’ markets when everything is finally in season. You know the places. Handwritten signs. Honour boxes. Corn that was probably growing six hours ago. Tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes instead of vaguely tomato-shaped water. On this particular trip, the stands […]
Dollar store gifts – Candy Kebabs
These adorable and delicious candy kebabs (candy kabobs) are great for Easter treats, birthday loot bags, or classroom treats and cost less than $1 each!
