Hello and happy Friday to you! I have been working on wrapping up all our Christmas shopping, making our cookie lists and adding the last touches of Christmas to our home. I have taken a bit of a less is more attitude for decorating this year and I have to say, I am loving it.

I came across some fun finds for you this week, including cookbook recommendations from Sarah Kieffer at The Vanilla Bean Blog, cookie inspiration from Half Baked Harvest and beautiful centerpiece inspiration from Midwest Living. If you feel like you could use a good list, I have a Almost Out Of free printable that will help remind you of what you need to add to your list. 

I love a good cookbook recommendation and trust Sarah Keiffer’s opinions when it comes to baking and cooking. Some of these are new to me and are going on my cookbook list now.

We are just starting to make our master list of Christmas cookies that we want to tackle. Leave it to Half Baked Harvest to add about 5 more to our list.

If you are looking to add a little Christmas flair to your dining table, take a look at these beauties from Midwest Living. I especially love the Woodland Charm, Colorful Baubles and Feathers and Ice.

Love a good list? Me too! Keep this list on a clipboard or tuck it in your planner and jot down what you need – once you have enough of a list to justify placing an order or making a trip to the store, you won’t forget anything.
