Hi everyone!  I'm Julie from White Lights on Wednesday.

I'm so glad be to swapping blogs with Sophie today.  

She is just the sweetest!

I wanted to share something seasonal that would scream I-wish-I-was-in-front-of-a-fire snuggling, but a little different.  Then I found these Gingerbread Waffles.  They are amazing!  Breakfast happiness on a fork, full of baking spices and that perfect cozy feeling.  These waffles will leave you feeling like you just got a big hug.  And who doesn't need a hug?
