summer and blueberry muffins

our summer has been lovely and fast...too fast. we haven't crossed off everything on our summer list, but who does? it's just fun to have some goals to try and accomplish, but of course nothing ever goes as planned, and so throw in some game changers and everything goes right out the window!

at least that's how our summer was. have you ever seen "Dan in Real Life"? it is one of my absolute FAVORITE movies of all time. at the end, dan says "prepare to be surprised." i have incorporated that into my life. my life functions much more smoothly that way, because i'm not freaking out at every bump in the road. I have learned to let go and let God. have you ever heard that saying? i love it.

 i am a control freak by nature, and so to give it up was hard, but when i realized, i never had control of anything anyway, it was a relief to let that go. now, i trust in my heavenly father and savior, jesus christ, and i choose believe that they are guiding my life for my good. anything that happens after that is what they put in my path to teach me something.

school, is about to start...and i have made a big decision...i am homeschooling my kindergartner and my second grader! i am excited, anxious and a little scared, but i feel very confident in my decision, i know it's what is right for us, and i know everything will work out.

made these with the kids this morning, they were DIVINE!
here is the recipe for these delish blueberry muffins over at blueberry octopie!

hope you have a fabulous end of summer and a fantastic start to your school year! love fall time. very much looking forward to it!
