Good morning! Happy Friday! How was your week? Mine has been fabulous, my mother and I have been Christmas shopping, baking, watching holiday movies, working out and eating a lot of our favorite things. Today my mom is making me some pillows and Christmas stockings. I will be sitting by her side supplying moral support, coffee and sustenance.
Can you believe that six days from now it’s Thanksgiving? I can’t but I am so excited to see my family and to cook our family favorites.

Are you ready for the “big day”? If not I have a few ideas to help you prepare for your guests, although I am sure that you do not need any. I will be starting the day with this easy and delicious looking Cranberry Chutney and Brie Crostini from What Should I Make for… I think this chutney would also be fabulous on Thanksgiving leftovers as well.

Doesn’t this Cranberry Apple Pecan Wild Rice Pilaf from Carlsbad Cravings look like the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Believe it or not it can be made in one pot.

| Yummy White Dinner Rolls from Creations by Kara |
Fluffy Fabulous Dinner Rolls are a must on the Thanksgiving. I cannot wait to make these. I think they will also be perfect for leftover turkey, chutney sandwiches.

If you need to stock up on a few books to read while you are relaxing after the feast check out Shannon of The Simple Luxurious Life’s holiday book list.
On my movie list:
Have you seen them? Katie at Preppy Empty Nester said that Christopher Robin is fabulous.
How To Achieve Greatness in Every Area of Your Life is an interesting article.

| New York Street Style |
Coloring books for adults have been the rage for the last few years. New York Street Style by Zoe de las Cases is the perfect one for all of the fashionistas in your life. The book is beautifully illustrated with sketches by Zoe of the outfits, hairstyles and accessories and sites of New York. I think this would make a wonderful Christmas gift.
Speaking of Christmas, if you are looking to add a little color to your holiday look check out these fabulous lipsticks and nail colors that I recently discovered. I do not typically wear dramatic colors like these but I have recently ordered this polish to wear to a party that I am attending. I love this lipstick but I haven’t made up my mind just yet,
What about you? Are you a fan of a bit of color at the holidays? Do you have a favorite polish or lip color that you wear?
I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. As always, please safe your recipes, books and finds with us!
If Katie said it's FABULOUS YOU KNOW IT's F A B U L O U S!
I adore the purple colors………….
Enjoy your MAMA……..I just lost mine a week ago today!
Wish I had that CINNAMON ROLL to bite into!

You have a bit of everything in today's post! I'm off chocolate for now, might get a pumpkin pie. I still don't know what I'm eating at Thanksgiving. Need to think that out this weekend.
