A big, warm THANK YOU to everyone who reached out to me yesterday! Mark surprised me with this self-made, caramel-adorned birthday card that ‘depicts’ my weekend getaway. The ‘riddle’ is as literal as it’s cerebral—took me 10 minutes. ‘Caramel’ by the ‘C’ 😂 Why I love him so much—such a dork! 😍

I don’t care that it’s only 9am—someone get me a damn cocktail 😉 #baking #swiss #cookies #christmas2024
