I’m sure in all the years I’ve been posting on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘, I’ve talked about or at the very least mentioned in passing how busy the month of January is and has been for me for as long as I can remember. Any holiday get-togethers and gift exchanges that I couldn’t get around to […]
While I’m recovering from my food coma that took hold of me last night post-Thanksgiving feast with my family and simultaneously preparing to meet up with Stef for a Black Friday Brunch over in Deerfield this morning, I thought I’d take the opportunity to put together my full recap of this past month that was […]
