As I get older, I find myself wanting to spend more quality time with those I love, making memories & enjoying each other’s company.

Over the past 3 years or so, I’ve given experience gifts like making jewelry or forging knives, depending who I’m spending time with. This year, the experience was an Italian cooking class. Oh my goodness … it was amazing! We made 3 different pastas and 3 different sauces.

Everyone in the class was kind, the mood was light and fun. But, hearing the excitement in the voice of my niece on the ride home - priceless!
