Five Things

June 3rd, 2011

{Coolest dessert plate ever}

I love putting together my “Five Things” posts. They’re a great way to end the week and reflect back on the little things that have made me particularly happy. But there are so many moments that pass that I wish I could capture; a certain feeling, a sunset or the smell of pizza dough rising in the sun. This week was filled with lots of special moments, including an amazing facial, discovering a new favorite bakery, and finding my friends’ (healthy) cat who had been missing for nearly two weeks.
