The Charleston

Our trip to TN to find a home was very successful. After a couple of days and many house we found a neighborhood, Blackman Farms, that we really liked and the homes were just what we were looking for.

We went with a brand new existing home rather than taking 6 months to build. We had it narrowed down to two homes. The Bayfield and The Charleston {names given by the builder, not us...haha}. I was hoping for the Bayfield and Trevor was wanting the Charleston. After several walk throughs {sp?}, I was swayed. We love this home.

The interior is very open and has space to hopefully one day house a college student {my dream of a boarding house is getting closer}. With this home our back yard will connect to a "Common Green Space" (a sodded & landscaped football field size recreation space). This will be perfect for our kids to play on, meet neighbors, have City Church gatherings and so so much more. It is perfect for missional living, the very thing we prayed for as we looked for a home.

We are waiting for the contract on the home to come in the mail today and praying God will work out all the details.

French Breakfast Muffins

Its been a while, I know. I do wish I had a meal or baked good to show you everyday, but as you can see, I dont. Not that we havent been cooking, eating and enjoying every second...cause we have, but life's been a little crazy.

Okay enough excuses. On Sunday morning before church I had some time to make the boys muffins. I had earmarked a recipe in my Pioneer Women cookbook earlier in the week in hopes of being able to make them. They were super easy and super yummy. Would you like me to share it with you?? It has been slightly altered to fit our gluten-free and dairy-free family.
