The 49ers may have lost, but Ben and I won with this fantastic meal tonight. Instead of pigging out on dips and snacks all day, we opted for one indulgent meal.

Then, I got into the holiday spirit and decided to bust out all my Christmas decorations. Sweat Pink, y’all. Anyways, I had signed up for a terrarium making workshop on Sunday. On Saturday night, I knew I would be bringing home a beautiful table [...]
