home & then home again...

I have spent the last 2 weekends at home in Conyers.

I went home last weekend without Chris to see my cousin Benjamin graduate from Peachtree Ridge High School...

This weekend Chris & I made the trip home to see Erin graduate from our alma mater, Heritage High School...

For the week in between the 2 trips, Abbey was here hanging out with us. We've made it an annual tradition for her to spend a week of her summer here with us.

While Abbey was here we...
*made a trip to Carolina Premium Outlets to hit up the Banana Republic sale!
*rented "New in Town".
*enjoyed lunch at Shiki Sushi...I'm slowly warming up to sushi.
*went to see "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" with Matthew Mcconaughey.
*took an afternoon walk in the Duke Gardens.
*made delicious banana & white chocolate chip muffins.
*went to King's Dominion amusement park in Richmond, VA...so fun!

The past few weeks have been fun, but exhausting.
I'm definitely ready to spend some time at home catching up on things.

Here's the recipe for the delicious muffins we made:
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup of mashed banana
1/2 cup of applesauce
4 tablespoons of honey
3/4 cup of white chocolate chips (optional)
Mix first 4 dry ingredients together. Mix last 5 ingredients together. Combine dry and moist ingredients and beat well.
Pour into greased muffin tins and bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes.
Makes 12 yummy muffins!
