Friday Potpourri

Hey ~ it's Friday

and although my vacation time is coming to an end

I will welcome the routine and hustle and bustle in the coming weeks

this is the second year in a row that I have taken this week 

as part of my vacation and I kinda like it

just getting my baking alone done alleviates my stress level

it really does

my days have been full of shopping and baking

sorting and writing

slow cook meals and quiet nights

appointments and our first party of the season

today is my do nothing day ~ and you know I will be doing something

but hope to find time to grab a mug of hot chocolate later

or sink into a bubble bath

Sunday I will pack the car with sweet stuff and head out to a cookie exchange

I will get to see some of my favourite people

including my God daughter that got engaged last Friday

so excited for her ~ she texted me a picture of her ring ~ he did good

the date is set for August next year ~ she is going to be a beautiful bride

tomorrow we will go to the local nursery to pick out our tree

and bring it in later next week

there are so many things to be thankful for this holiday season

and I will be taking some time leading up to Christmas to pay it forward

thanks for visiting and have a great weekend
