{five favorites} Vol.08: Baby Blankets, Temperaments & Apple Pie Shortbread

Welcome to the Five Favorites linkup!

A reminder about a new twist I’m adding to the linkup this year: At the end of each month, I’ll be giving away a prize pack to one #5Faves participant! Here’s how it works: every time you link up a blog post, it counts as one entry. So if you link up a post every week, you’d get four entries. I’ll keep track throughout the month and then randomly pick a winner on February 1.

On to the favorites this week:

Dancing Deer Baking Co. Apple Pie Rounds

Sophia and I took a special trip to Home Goods last weekend and both got a treat for the drive home. This was my pick and I thought they were delicious. Yummy with a cup of coffee too.

The Temperament God Gave You
My friend recommended this book while at her house for a playdate and even let me borrow her copy. I’m flying through it and find it fascinating! I’m still trying to figure out what I am: I’m definitely driven and a goal-setter like a choleric, but also reserved, dependable and conflict-avoiding like a phlegmatic. Is that even possible?

Amazon’s 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime
You know how much I love a list! I’ve only read 19, how about you? Any favorites or recommendations?

Baby Blankets from Cotton & May
Do you read Laura’s blog, A Spoonful of Joy? She just started an etsy shop, making baby blankets. Aren’t her fabric choices awesome? I snagged the top blanket with the boats for a friend from Mark’s men’s group who just had their first baby. I’m sure it will be a blanket they’ll be able to use for years and years.
