December: The Italian Connection

Hopefully you've now all seen our emails, and social media about the new #DolceVitaBloggers link up?

Our topic for the month of December is 'The Italian Connection'

What is your connection to Italy? Did you marry into an Italian family? Are you Italian? Do you just love Italia? You can interpret this however you wish and we can't wait to read your posts! All of the hosts will also write on this theme. 

We thought it was a great starting place to all learn a bit more about each other.
