Yes, my room is lime green. My dad likes to call it “puke green.”

I made some sweet potato muffins about two weeks ago, so I’m working on perfecting the recipe before I share it with you guys. They’re really good though! I’m also going to make butternut squash muffins when I find the time (school is killing me). I think I’m becoming obsessed with muffins?!

What is your favorite flavor of muffins? Any muffin recipe requests?

Bible verse of the day: For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 1 Peter 2:15-16
