I keep a bowl of apples and oranges nad other fresh fruit on my table. It looks pretty and gives the kids a handy dessert for after supper.
I filled a long, white, rectangular plate with cedar sprigs, cranberries and 3 of my high ball glasses acting as tealight candle holders… Very simple, elegant and pretty!
This sounds so healthy and fun to do. I plan on putting some Kashi bars and Kashi cereal in my centerpiece. They are so delicious.
