The Organized Life, January Paint Bucket

Happy 2023!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday month!
We had a grand time and I must admit,
Door Dash delivered dinner to our house a few times π
January will be focused on lighter, healthier food
after all the holiday indulgences!
The flavor/theme of the month is Lighten Up

Happy 2023!
