Today I’m excited to introduce you to the most amazing woman I’ve ever known…my mama! She & I are showing you how to make my favorite Christmas treat – Holiday Date Balls!
I spent some time with my mama at her house this weekend. We made my favorite treat, these delicious sugary Holiday Date Balls, and shared some fun Christmas memories.
