Five for Friday

1. Miranda started a new blog this week. Her goal is to post daily. Just random Miranda thoughts. Check out Mirandomness. It's pretty cool. I love her so.

2. I took down all my Halloween stuff today. I will keep a few minimal fall/Thanksgiving things out but really I am cleaning and decluttering so that we can PUT UP OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!

3. In following along with this blog I am working to be All Done by December 1. In that vein I have made my lists and I've checked them twice. Hoping that this makes a difference in my holiday season. My goal is to relax, enjoy my family and friends, worship, remain grateful and have fun.

4. Five favorites of mine right now: 1) yoga 2) early morning scripture study 3) my sleep number bed 4) reading about writing 5) all things squash.

5. I made pumpkin chocolate chip shortbread last night for a treat. Surprisingly, Kamiryn was the only one that didn't like it. Must've been a texture thing, because it tasted FABULOUS! I followed this recipe with just three small changes. I used squash instead of pumpkin (I prefer the flavor and texture of squash), I added a half cup of mini chocolate chips and I left off the glaze. I baked it in my Pampered Chef stoneware. I will FOR SURE make it again.
