The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Today’s Crockpot recipe was a simple yet cozy one—ranch chicken with carrots. I kept it low-prep because my day was packed with Christmas festivities!🎄 ✨

I spent part of the day crafting, working on the last few gifts I needed to finish (sorry, no spoilers here!🤣). But I did take a little time for myself and made a new coffee mug. It’s perfect for sipping coffee or tea while I curl up with a good book. The colors turned out so vibrant, and I love how it reflects my personal style!☕️📖

Bella and I also got into the Christmas spirit in the kitchen👩‍🍳. For the first time ever, I made Candy Cane Puppy Chow, and let me tell you—it’s as delicious as it sounds! Sweet, minty, crunchy perfection. (Yes, I might have sampled a bit. Quality control, right?)

The rest of the day was pure relaxation. I dove into my current book, On Christmas Avenue, which feels like a Hallmark movie come to life. It’s full of charm, romance, and that magical holiday feel. 🥰

Tonight, I’m winding down with Bella by my side, watching the Bills game ❤️🤍💙🏈 before an early bedtime—work calls tomorrow!

How did you spend your Sunday? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear about it!
