 1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?  I don´t have a bathroom, but I use my Herbal Essences shampoo as soap. It just smells too darn good.

I wanted to make muffins this morning since I´m sick of eggs and since I just did up a huge batch of squash puree, this coffee cake seemed like a good idea. I changed the original recipe (not sure where I found it) and here it is, if you would like to make it.

 I always swore I would never get married or have kids . . . so much for that, huh? Anyway, while it is really a challenge to be a mom, it does have its good points.
