Pumpkin Nut Muffins


Winter pansies are planted, I love fall. Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING is around us. All the squash and cute pumpkins. Have you seen the pink pumpkins?! They look all prehistoric. I love the cool crisp air in the mornings and evenings. LOVE IT!

Today is laundry day here in the Lookabaugh household. I have been slacking so I have to do like 4 loads. Ughhh. Then I am going to experiment with another pumpkin recipe. And I am NOT going to eat it. I already promised myself. I need to step it up on the paleo challenge cause I know I haven't made any gains other then weight. Ha!

Rogue is being such a pest today. He's all up in my business. Like on my laptop. Killing me. It's not his fault his legs are 3 feet long, I get it, they probably have that annoying RLS. I get it all the time. Restless leg syndrome sucks...have you ever experienced it? I hope not.

I decided I want a puffy vest. Not super puffy, like the flat puffy ones. You know what I mean.

Any who I gotta run and get some things done around here! Hope y'all have a great day! :)
