January Recap

Published on by AlissaLeave a comment

Here’s a little recap of what we were up to in January:

January 10th was Dennis & Lisa’s 25th wedding anniversary as well as Dennis’ birthday!

We shared our Instant Pot Potato Soup recipe which has become a favorite quick dinner on a cold evening.

Alissa shared her 2023 reading challenge. She’s quickly working her way through the challenge. You can follow her read and currently reading books page for updates.

It was best January ever for sales in our store! We got some fantastic reviews & a good customer service badge from Etsy!

Dennis made quite a few hearts, and eggs while Alissa made some pillows, mugs, and treat containers!

We shared some custom order updates on our Facebook & Instagram

Thank you for being part of our Cherished Cottage family!

2023 Reading Challenge

Published on by Alissa1 Comment

Last year I participated in the Goodreads reading challenge; my goal was 15 books, and I ended up reading 25. This year I am doing that again, but challenging myself to read 45 books. I also decided to take it a step further & participate in the 12 books recommended by 12 friends challenge and choose my own books based off of the challenge I wrote below. 
Feel free to follow along on my Goodreads page and our Instagram to join in the challenge with me!
