But this got me thinking…I’ve noticed there are a lot of birthdays going on right now & at the same time I realized I don’t know when most of YOUR birthdays are!!!!! SO, what better way to find out than host a Meet & Greet!!!! No worries, I won’t ask your age… but I do have one request that you either post your birthday or birthday month in the comments 😉 Also just tell us all a little about  yourself/your blog, leave links to your social media page(s), and meet some new friends 🙂

So, let us have one big collective birthday party for all those that have past and all those to come!!!! So thankful for you all!!!!

For those that love science as much as I do…

Mingle & Jingle!!!

Welcome to my first ever hosted Meet & Greet! Come on in, make yourself at home, and meet some amazing new people 🙂

Simply leave your link to your blog/other social media in the comments, tell us a little about your blog if you want, make some new friends, and reblog only if you wish!

In my last post I asked you all what your favorite type of cookie was- and there was a reason for this!! I did my Christmas baking this weekend and used all your suggestions to try something different from my usuals.

Hence, at this Mingle & Jingle, I have your favorite treats (which quickly became my favorite too!). Thank you for allowing me to expand my horizons this Christmas baking season; I loved the different traditions that I learned about and incorporated. Plus everything was absolutely delicious!!!!
