This time of year, my brain is always about 10% thinking about "Christmas Wrapping." I haven't heard the song yet in the wild, but it always excites me when I do. A few years ago, I wrote about the song's greatness! anniezaleski.substack.com/p/the-greatn...

I don’t normally read the comments, but these ones give me hope. I know we are all seeing a lot of hate toward our Somali friends and neighbors, but I wanted to share these.
I hope they bring a smile to your face like they did mine.

Some exciting news from Milk Barn Farm! Today we are releasing our first tincture specifically for daytime use: Sunny Day with CBG.

Limited Edition Tincture: Sunny Day CBG
CBG is a minor cannabinoid. Like CBD, it's nonintoxicating and helps with pain and anxiety. Unlike CBD, it won't make you drowsy, so it's good for daytime!
