Happpy Leap Day! I’m not quite sure how I feel about this day.. It’s cool and all because it only happens once every four years, but it sucks for people born on this date. If that’s the case then when do you celebrate your birthday every year? Feb. 28th? March 1st?
Either way we get an extra 24 hours this year! Which means an extra bowl of oatmeal. An extra special bowl of oatmeal!
I’d been craving pumpkin muffies for a while and I finally got to making a batch. I really don’t know why I put such things off for so long. I mean those are so~ easy to make! I used all oat flour this time to make them even more fit for breakfast, and they turned out slightly more muffin-y and fluffy. The perfect hot oatmeal bowl topping.
A whole lb of Coach’s oat = gone!
I got an awesome deal on them from OpenSky, so I’ve got two more bags left. I will have to restock as soon as they’re done because they’ve become my favorite! Chewy and full of that steel cut texture that would otherwise take 40 minutes to get.
Banana-fied and topped with pumpkin muffie crumbles and sunflower seed butter.
Guess who got a new photography table!
I did! Well, technically it’s not really new. It’s my grandma’s and she’s had it for quite a while, but she brought it over Saturday night. I used to have a really crappy shooting spot and had to move a big table whenever the light changed which is pretty much every time I had to snap a photograph at a different time of the day! I’m super excited that I have a special “photography table” now! 
It makes me feel a tiny bit more professional about my photography. I’m also planning on signing up for a course this upcoming school year! Can you tell I’m excited? I would’ve loved for the tabletop to be black, but this shall work too. I might put a cover on top and it’ll be fine.
I thought it looked pretty cool here though since it matched up with the muffie crumbs. I’m such a nerd!
Speaking of nerdiness, I joined Pintrest yesterday! I sent an invitation request over the weekend, and honestly forgot about it until I got the e-mail in my inbox. I’m not sure if it was the smartest thing to join because of how addicting I’ve heard it is. Is it really?! No pins for me yet, but I’ll take the time to explore and learn this new to me land! Any tips are appreciated!
Are you on Pintrest? Please leave your link so I can follow you!
Pin ya later!
I know lots of bloggers get various table cloths/ fabrics/ place mats to spice up their pictures. I have a crappy camera and don’t bother. :)
Those table cloths and fabrics and such are really good looking, but having a collection of one of each just doesn’t seem right and the whole set costs too much haha. I usually use whatever I have around the house. I could improve in that area :D
Ah! I’m so excited that you’ve found Pinterest :) It’s honestly become my new bookmarking tool for new recipes that I find (including some of yours ;)

Ugh Paulina wherever you live I am 200% jealous. It’s always so sunny and nice there!
I live in Las Vegas, so yeah, it is sunny and nice most of the time, but the summer heat is horrible!
hope you had a good LEAP day :). found you on pinterest! i have yet to try steel cut oats yet. i’ve heard so much about it. since i’m on a sugar cleanse (still ughhhh), i haven’t been able to eat too many carbs. one day soon, i hope! i miss my oatmeal! hope you have a splendid weekend, paulina!
I followed you too! Love your pins! :] I would miss oatmeal so much if I had to cut it out. How much longer do you have to keep going?
