It’s true; this is my final post for our Nashville lives as we’ve accepted an offer on the house and we are moving back up north to our home state of Michigan! The hubs defended his thesis and achieved his doctorate this past week! It’s over and we can all collectively breathe a huge sigh …
These pancakes happen to be the best pancakes ever. My two year old doesn’t get excited much about food… with exception to these pancakes.
