A cozy compliment to Fall packed with chunks of apple, bursting with cinnamon, and topped with a delightful streusel!

I’ve been reflecting on the seasons of life lately. I feel it’s best to do it over one of these Apple Cinnamon Muffins!

I recently went to lunch with two girlfriends and I didn’t realize how much I needed that time with friends. It turns out we all have pain points in our marriages, but we still deeply love our husbands. And we all struggle with parenting because most of the time we have no idea what we are doing! Having that genuine, non-competitive conversation was good for my soul!
