I’ve been writing a bit lately about some of the changes that I’ve been making in my life this year to help our family have a happy, healthy 2011. Change is never easy, but when you have the proper motivation, it’s much easier. Many of the motivating factors for me this year are family based. I want our family to be able to spend more quality time together doing the things that we enjoy. Munchkin is growing up so fast; we need to take advantage of the time that we have now. I’m tackling my health… One of the first…

Sweet Reward: Chocolate Chunk Muffins
Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography
Project 365 – #018 Sometimes, when you’ve been cleaning, purging, and organizing for some time, you need a little extra motivation to keep moving. Today, Munchkin decided that she wanted something with chocolate, so I whipped up a batch of gluten free chocolate chunk muffins.
