I spotted this little heart yesterday and it felt like a love note from earth.

Day 22 of the 30 Days of Gratitude Challenge: An everyday item that brings you joy.

Answer: The little heart leaf brought me a great deal of joy, but that’s not something you see everyday. So I will say my standing mixer. I bought it five years ago with a gift card from work for my service anniversary – and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As I’ve learned more and more about baking, this mixer has been a godsend. I’ve cranked out first birthday cookies, a wedding cake, vegan cupcakes, boozy cupcakes, holiday cookies, and more. I can’t imagine what I’d do without it.
