Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

These muffins take a little bit of preparation, but they are really yummy when they're ready!

The original recipe calls for pecans and canned pumpkin. However, I left out the pecans because Keeton doesn't love nuts, and I of course freeze my own pumpkin because it's WAY better so I used that instead!

For the muffins you will need:
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups white sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt (Oops, I knew I forgot something!)
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups canned (or fresh) pumpkin
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp. vanilla

Some big changes are happening...

I spent the weekend in bed because I was pretty sure I was dying. Actually it was just a cold that one of my wonderful kiddos gave me but I still thought I was dying! While lying in bed, I decided to look over my blog and see what changes should be made. What I came up with was a HUGE list. Number one on that list, I need to write more posts more often. Agreed? So, over the next few weeks, expect some changes to the layout, the background, and most importantly, the number of things you get to read! :)

Make your old pillows look like new...

...with easy pillowcases!

Sorry it’s been awhile, a week ago was spring break for us so we spent the week painting the house. This week after work was then spent painting some more and putting stuff back together. We still have a LONG way to go, but it’s a start!

For today’s project I’m going to show you how I fixed up my parents old couches for our new home. We bought brand new slip covers. They are kind of a pain because if we want them to look nice we have to continually stuff them back into the creases but they are way nicer than the old fabric.

The old pillows looked awful on the new slip covers so I decided that I was going to cover them with pillow cases. This way if we got tired of the color or we spilled something on them (very likely), we could easily just slip the cover off and wash it.

I decided that I wanted a bright color so I bought this awesome orange fabric from Walmart. It was $2 for the whole bolt so it was totally worth it.
