Lemon Blueberry Streusal Muffins

How was your weekend guys? Mine was so great and the most relaxing I can remember in a long, long time.

We had major family time. Pete and I also took the little girls out to our anniversary dinner. We have just been traveling a lot so we had a slightly less romantic but still very love filled evening. They were adorable and very well behaved and I was very proud of them.

I had planned to spend all weekend gardening in my overgrown yard, but then it just rained and rained and rained. So I scrapped that and instead we have been total “bubbleheads” all weekend. (that is what my mom calls someone who watches too much tv). I managed to watch the entire season 2 of Game of Thrones to catch up to this 3rd season, which is where I started watching in the first place. Pete is just so happy that I won’t ask him a million questions during every episode now. I am SO obsessed, I can’t even handle it that they robbed us of a new episode last night.

Pete and I went to Great Gatsby last night. I liked it more than he did. The sets and costumes and music were amazing. I had forgoten how it ended. Yikes.

This morning I made these muffins for the girls and my mom who stopped by. I had lemons and blueberries and Pia requested muffins, so this is what I made. Pia ate 6 today, so I am going to assume they were a success…

And now to cap it off I am watching the sequal to last years “mock-u-mentary”? Mermaids the sequal… I am totally sold that there are mermaids, you?

And then, when my kiddo’s finally fall asleep its Behind the Candelabra- I can’t wait!! I’ll let you know what I think. XOXO
