Treacherous Twelve

The Face of Temptation

If this isn’t tempting, I don’t know what is…. Macaroon dough. I always, always save myself a little at the bottom of the bowl, but today I didn’t have any due to my Lenten thang. 100% willpower, beebs. It wasn’t easy though…. I may have had two mugs full of brown rice cereal to distract…

Hey hey hey 😀 How’s your evening going? I loved reading about your Lent ideas and spring challenges- keep ‘em coming 😀 It’s funny because usually I’d be living up Fat Tuesday in full splendor, but after my Valentine’s feast, I don’t feel a need to. I think I’ll be satisfied on the sweet front…
