Have you ever had pashka? A sweet friend from chur Have you ever had pashka? A sweet friend from church — who I haven’t seen in person in ONE solid year— just delivered this traditional Russian dessert. She said she hasn’t hosted a gathering in so long she decided to pull out all her heart molds and make a favorite dessert to surprise her friends.

💕🍰

What a special way to offer hospitality during Covid. I feel sooooo loved and my family will go nuts! 

Now I’m thinking of what I miss making for guests that I can whip up and deliver this weekend. 🚐💌 

What do you miss making? What if we all dropped off some sweet love to someone we miss this Valentine’s Day?!? 💗🥰
💕 Sunday funday making Valentine cards for heal 💕 Sunday funday making Valentine cards for healthcare workers in our community. Our church is collecting Love Letters to send to one of our local hospitals. Such a great idea, right? 

🥰 💌

There’s plenty of time to make some cards and let people in your neighborhood know they are loved!
