Happy St.Patty’s Day ☘️. It’s supposed to be a lucky day right? Maybe you find a pot of gold today? I know it’s dorky to do this but I try to appreciate the small things. 700 people following me is hilarious in this crazy social media world but it means something to me. I’ll never want or be a social media guru, influencer, blah blah but if I’ve cooked for you or met you and you appreciated what I bring to the table, thank you. If I haven’t met you or cooked for you, I hope one day I can. 💕 😝
