Five on Friday

Where did the month of April go?! I can't believe it's May 1st today but I have a feeling that May is going to come and go just as quickly as April.

It's Friday so you know what means, I am linking up with April, Christina, Natasha, and Darci for Five on Friday and Amanda for Friday Favorites!

ONE:
My phone has been flooded with great articles about North Carolina this week, so I wanted to share a few with you.

The 10 most beautiful towns in North Carolina: My hometown, Pinehurst, made the list which was exciting for our small town! A few of my other favorites were featured too.

17 places to see with kids in North Carolina: This is an amazing list. Growing up in North Carolina, you would think that I would be able to successfully say that I have seen or done each of the 17 items on this list but I haven't. I have experienced 10 out of the 17! My top 2 favorites would be plunging down Sliding Rock and seeing the Wild Horses roam on Shackleford Banks.

The happiest cities in the US: I have to agree, Raleigh is the happiest place in NC {perhaps I am a little bias}!

TWO:
"A 1/2 mile of Food Trucks & Restaurants spread out over 11 city blocks." I am already in a food coma just thinking about it! On Sunday, Raleigh will have their first Food Truck Rodeo of the season featuring over 50 Food trucks from across the state of NC. I will be stopping by the American Meltdown {Grilled Cheeses}, Mac-Ur-Roni, Master Bacon {this sounds interesting} and Baguettaboutit {Stuffed French Baguettes}.

THREE:
Do you love Etsy as much as I do?! If so, you have to visit French Press Mornings. I stop by her store frequently. The Encouraging Wednesdays section has the most beautiful passages and the designs are gorgeous. I just purchased this one...
FOUR:
We made pan-roasted Chicken with Coconut-Smashed Plantains and Stewed Collard Greens this week. It was my favorite meal of the week! I'll be sharing the recipe next week.
FIVE:
I have my eye on these pillows and side tables for our Guest Room! I can't believe that we are already in the final week of our One Room Challenge. I have a lot of decorating to do this weekend and can't wait to share the big reveal next Thursday! :)

    The Chicken with Coconut-Smashed Plantains and Stewed Collard Greens sounds like such a great dinner option (so many wonderful flavors in 1 meal)! And, the Nicholette embroidered pillows will be a lovely addition to your home.

    Happy Saturday, Stephanie :)
