How to *Sleigh* the Holidays as a Single Girl
Whaaaaaat?! You mean a single girl doesn’t have to get sad and lonely this time of year?? You’re kidding. Well, she’s gotta have those feelings. They’re just squashed down so far she doesn’t even realize it herself. She’ll come around eventually and the self-loathing and feeling of hopelessness will set in by the time New Years rolls around. Wait. Seriously? You mean you really can enjoy the holidays and not be secretly hoping a mysterious stranger will appear under the mistletoe at just the right moment? Huh. Who knew?

Best Hot Chocolate Recipe this Side of the Mississippi
I’ve never met a soul who didn’t like hot chocolate. I mean, they could be out there, but in my head they’re more like unicorns or leprechauns. You know? Like, I’ve heard of them, but seriously doubt they exist. They FOR SURE won’t once they try a taste of my daddy’s recipe. 😉 He’s made it for my family my whole life – sometimes when it doesn’t snow, but always when it does. There’s something about snow and mug of cocoa that just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside! So I decided to share his special recipe with you. INGREDIENTS: 1 3/4 cup of sugar 3/4 cup of cocoa…
