I have to admit, I had never really spent any serious time on the Real Simple website until they approached me for this Pop-Up shop project. My partnership with Real Simple this past few weeks has opened my eyes to all the great living content they produce! The website is chalk full of articles about Organizing Your Recipes, and Festive Holiday Decor Ideas. This month they have even gone to the trouble of collecting the 50 Best Holiday Cookie Recipes for us all in one Real Simple place. Love. Not to mention – Did you know that every single day of the month they offer a recipe of the day? I don’t know about you, but this vegetable chili polenta sounds perfect for the below freezing temps we’ve been having on the East Coast the last few days! Anywhoo – while I hope that the Pop Up was a huge success - I know one thing for sure: Real Simple was successful in finding at least one new fan = ABCD!
Winners: will you kindly email me at abcd[at]abcddesign[dot]com with your mailing address and phone number? Real Simple will be mailing your gifts directly to you. Thanks!
