Many of our schedules or routines have drastically changed this past year. Therefore, a great motto for the year would be — “2020: the year from home.” Ha. We’ve been quarantined, homeschooling, working from home, attending church in our living rooms, and more. Consequently, it’s certainly been a year of stretching ourselves and adapting to change.

However, whipping up a batch of pumpkin cinnamon rolls is doable from home — and seems easy enough. And then we can spread a little kindness by sharing them with our neighbors, friends, and/or family. How about buying some cinnamon roll packaging to place them in before sharing or gifting too?

Trust me, they’ll be thanking you with sticky fingers and a full tummy (wink wink). And in addition to their gratitude, you’ll be spreading a little kindness and we can use a lot more of that these days.
