holiday snack

 Enjoy the holiday with some pretzel filled almond bark 

The first time my mom made this for me, I didn't like it. I did not like the almond taste with the pretzel. I remember in the 6th grade she made these for me to bring to my class. I remember being unhappy because I didn't like them. However, my classmates loved them! My family has not made these for years. I do not know why but I decided to give them a try again recently. They are addicting! I made them for my friends and they all love it. Once you eat one, you can't stop!   

time to get those gloves out

The weather is getting colder so it's time to get those leather gloves out. In Spring 2011, I studied abroad in Verona, Italy for four months. While I was there I got to travel to different cities every weekend and one of those weekends I took the train to Florence, Italy. When I was there I had to visit Madova gloves because it's one of the most famous leather glove factory in Italy. How can you go to Italy and not get leather gloves?! By just looking at your hands, the lady at the store can tell what size you are. I had a lot of fun trying on all these gorgeous gloves. I finally picked this purple gloves with bows on the end.
