With Love, Melissa Blog Newsletter, Vol. 20 (3/27/23)

Spring into Food and Fun!

Hello, my lovely!

As I sit here writing this newsletter, I am feeling the sunshine through the window on my face and listening to the birds sing. I want to jump outside right now and never come back in! I dream of my future garden when my husband and I finally find a home to settle down in. That's our main goal while we travel in the RV: find a home! I look forward to sharing our journey with you. Maybe even help some of you do the same thing!

Links I want to share...

• Does your library have Creativebug? It's this amazing database for crafters just packed with thousands of craft classes and videos. And it's all free with my library card!
• I am obssessed with Living Libations skin care and she shares so many good articles on holistic living, like this one about taking care of your teeth!​
• Book Riot always coming in clutch with 8 Witchy books to read for Women's History Month.

The perfect breakfast or snack, this super creamy vanilla chia pudding practically tastes like dessert! I love it with some berries and raspberry jam.

​

These snack balls are only 4 ingredients and absolutely delicious. Dip them in chocolate ganache and you won't be able to resist eating more than one.

​

The ultimate cottagecore dream! Have a tea party with your friends to celebrate the coming of spring.
