Listen… I’m just going to say it: if my holiday side dishes were on dating apps, the algorithm would absolutely lose its mind.

A Honey Without Flowers Sunday Devotional with a Touch of Sass (and Supper) If we’re being honest — and we are always honest — the Proverbs 31 Woman has intimidated women for centuries.
