friday five

The weeks seem to be flying by towards Christmas and each one is holding more fun than the previous! I'm in the midst of getting Christmas gifts taken care of, baking lots of sweet treats and enjoying the merriment of the season. This weekend I'm looking forward to a holiday party, a good friend coming in town and enjoying the colder temperature that are hovering over Charlotte. During the fast paced week that I just had, here are the little things bringing me joy...

[a beautiful bouquet of flowers]
[simple table centerpieces]
[homemade granola]
[holiday charity events like this one]
[having this lovely lady in town for the weekend!]

What're your plans for the weekend?
Hope it's a wonderful one!

    Pretty flowers! Who got you those?

    I know, I feel like time is flying by. I have all these intentions to pick up some gifts for the kids and bake up some cookies for co-workers but right now I'm so behind!

    Sounds like life is going swell on your end. Love the flowers. The granola looks yummy. Feel free to share the recipe. :)
    I love charity events at this time of the year. A local restaurant is doing a toy drive where you bring a wrapped toy and receive a bottle of wine. Yes please!
