If you know someone that is moving you should take lessons from some of our friends.  Man have they been amazing to us!  Last night Roberta brought over some muffins so that this morning while we are packing and going crazy we wouldn't have to worry about breakfast.  How thoughtful!  These muffins were so yummy that I must share the recipe with you!  She of course let me keep the very cute muffin tin and top that they were in.  She also attached a copy of the recipe to the top b/c she knows I love recipes and she knew how good they were that I would want to make them again!  Lovely!

So now I'll share it with you so that you can bless someone with these!  I think we should all make muffins next week to bless someone!
