Hi there! Welcome to the Hearth and Soul Link Party. I’m so glad you are here!
As we get closer to Christmas I’m focusing on comfort and joy, and how we can incorporate this into the season and into our lives. There’s a lot of hustle and bustle around Christmas these days, when it’s actually about so much more.
So make a cup of tea, coffee, or your favourite hot drink, take some time out and visit some of the inspiring posts that are being shared.
At Hearth and Soul, blog posts about anything that feeds your soul is welcome. Share your blog posts about family, home, recipes, decorating, crafts, DIY, travel, organisation, book reviews, the arts, self improvement and more!
I’m finding comfort and joy in my family’s favourite seasonal treat recipes.
Easy to make and always delicious, my Family Favourite Squares are from tried and true recipes that have been in my family for at least three generations. I hope they will become a delicious part of your family’s traditions too!
Comfort and Joy Features
Thank you for your support of the Hearth and Soul Link Party.
Comfort and joy features from last week:-

Linda of Meal Planning Maven brought her family’s Favorite Potato Latkes and Best Homemade Applesauce to the party, along with other holiday recipes you will love!
Zoe and Mia from Sprinkle of Vanilla Sugar make The Best Vegan Winter Soups 2 Ways – now that is comfort food!
