What I've Been Reading - Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

I just got done reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah, and it was a GREAT book.

The book follows the lives of two women born in the 60s who meet in their teen years and have a life of friendship and heartbreak.  They commit to be best friends forever, and we get to see the successes and failures they face along their 30 year friendship.  I really like the way the author writes and the book was funny, sad and heartbreaking all at the same time.  I give it 4.5 stars and if you want a good summer/beach reading book, give this one a try.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used to Know

So I am kinda obsessed with this song.  Its just so different and interesting.  I just looked up the video and its cray cray, but the song is still awesome. I listed to the entire album and it is just as good. You should go check it out!

From Pinterest to Reality - Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Loaf

Sorry its been so long since my last post.  I am officially a stay at home "wife" now (until T decides to make his entry into this world) so I should have plenty of time to share my thoughts, recipes and random info on here.  

Now, on to today's post.  One of my goals as a homemaker is to cook and bake more from scratch, hopefully saving money and creating more healthy, non processed meals for Josh and I to eat.  I'll share about last nights dinner later, but today I made this.

Now in my version, I actually made muffins instead of the loaf, so that I could freeze some and so that they were easier to eat for breakfast or a snack.  I have to say, for the low cost of frozen blueberries and a few lemons, this was a great dessert/snack.  It does have a lot of sugar in it though, but seeing as how it made 18 muffins, I think its ok.  Here is what mine looked like. Yummy! :)
