Pumpkin Muffins

Sorry for the lack of posting here recently. I don't know if it is how busy work is, or the cold, nasty, wet weather we have been having...but I am in a funk. A blogging funk that is. Ever happen to you?

Anyways, over the weekend I made some pumpkin muffins that were too good not to share with all of you. So, here I am blogging and sharing just for you...feel special!

These muffins were so incredibly easy to make (really, I can't stress that enough!) They only have 2 ingredients. 2!?!? I did decide to add some extra sweetness, so mine had 3 ingredients but yours could only have 2.

INGREDIENTS: 
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
1 Can of Pumpkin
Handful of white chocolate chips if you wish :)

Mix all of the ingredients together and spoon into a greased or lined cupcake pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until a knife/toothpick inserted comes out clean. Note: my time varied between batches and I am not sure why, so I recommend baking for 25 minutes and continuing on if necessary.

Let cool before devouring enjoying!


We did some other things this weekend too! Here is the breakdown in pictures:

Saturday we headed to Fort Wayne for a Newsboys concert and a little shopping. Louie was looking too sweet not to take his picture!

Headed to the mall for some shopping. We only wanted to stop a 2 stores and Chipotle for lunch. It was a successful trip and yummy-after this we were onto the concert:

We LOVE the Newsboys. I like their old music and their new music-it is all Jesus filled and great! Michael Tait was pretty hilarious in between songs too. I loved all the references he made to the "chocolate church" and "vanilla people". I am sure someone in the crowd was offended by it, but it was just so funny. The color of our skin does not matter in the least. Jesus love us no matter what! Praise him for that!!!

There were several bands opening for Newsboys too. I really liked Royal Tailor-who I was not familiar with. We ended up buying their CD and it s great. I encourage you to check them out!

We did a little bit of singing and dancing at the concert, too :)
Sorry for the blurry picture, but it was crazy in there!

Our Sunday was spent at church and home. We watched The Amazing Race in the evening while Louie took a nap and made himself comfortable:

Can you believe how he is laying down, and sleeping!? We have a crazy pup in our house. Good thing we love him!

Hope you all are having a great Wednesday and week for that matter!

Complete Randomness...

I am running low (not empty, just low) on creative juices today, so this post will be bullet style. Hopefully things will get back to normal next week! Here are my random Thursday ramblings and snippets on what is going on with our life:

  • I am wearing corduroy today for the first time in my life (that I can remember)...I officially live in the North-well, technically the Mid-West!
  • The Mr. needed a haircut...badly. Only he did not know where to go for one in our town and really does not have time with his work schedule. The solution? I cut it. Yep, I cut his hair! AND it turned out very well for my first time. We were both happy in the end, so hopefully he will let me do it again :)
  • I have been busy working on our wedding scrapbook, and I am so excited to have it finished. It really is fun to look at all the pictures and remember details from that moment to document them. I cannot wait to start on our first year of marriage scrapbook when the wedding one is complete!
  • We have been pondering ideas for summer vacations and have narrowed it down. So far, the first weekend trip is to Kentucky for my friend Brooke's May wedding :)
  • I am really looking forward to Winter Jam this weekend in Fort Wayne, I just know it is going to be a great time praising God!...I do love the Newsboys and Michael Tait!
  • I  officially started Weight Watchers online this week to shed some marriage weight. It is crazy how fast you can gain and how long it takes to lose! I have heard great things about the new PointsPlus program and the accessibility of doing it online and I am excited. My first weigh in is next Thursday-hopefully there will be results!
  • The Mr. and I are already on Season 8 of Friends that means before we know it, we will be done. What show should we start watching next? Being the Friends nut that I am, I would be okay with starting over and watching them all again...or backwards maybe?
  • I really, really, really have been craving some Southern BBQ...Sonny's or MoJo's would be the best. Why did I not think of eating there when we were in FL for Christmas!?!
  • It seems like everyone we know is either engaged, or pregnant-so we have lots of gifts to buy. It has been so much fun shopping for sweet baby clothes, who does not love that!?! We can't wait to meet all the new additions very soon!
I hope everyone has a blessed day-just remember that it is almost Friday. Woohoo!
