Winter break is officially in full swing, and we’ve been spending a whole lot of time cozied up at home. Originally, I was going to sign MM up for a few December camps, but instead I opted to keep her home- to fill our days with some festive crafts, Christmas movies, a few playdates and whole lot of baking. And while I’ve found myself a bit more tired this season than I have in others- I’m soaking in these lazy days at home with my two girls- the house filled with the smell of mulling spices and a burning fire; and the sound of Christmas music and wrapping presents… and a few baby cries.

This past weekend I found the easiest One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe by Tasty and put a few mushy bananas to good use. Maddie loved baking with me in the kitchen and the results were delish- I doubled the chocolate chips , because life is too short to skimp on the sweetness.

Hope you enjoy!

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you probably know by now that I have become quite the fan of frozé since moving down south. I stumbled upon the Co-op on Isle of Palm late last year, and instantly fell for their their daily frozé selections and delicious salads and sandwiches. Every time I post about my frozé fix I get dozens of messages asking where one can find such a treasure. And while I always direct my southern friends to my local spot, I sadly, don’t have any recommendations for my friends up north.

This past weekend was the lazy, cozy kind. And it was just what we all needed. It feels like we have been going nonstop the last few months- you know, moving during a pandemic, starting Kindergarten, holidays etc- so the Matkovics were in the market for a little reset.
So we stayed in our cozies for most of the day, and I threw together a yummy, but SUPER simple, homemade chicken soup.
And so many of you requested the recipe, so here it is…

Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend and is excited for the fresh week ahead. We took it easy over here at the Matkovic house - we moved slow, enjoyed the Charleston sunshine, and got a few things done around the house. It was just the speed we needed to refresh before the holidays are officially here.

Happy Weekend, Kids!

This past week was a long one for me and the girls, thus explaining the radio silence over here on the blog.

Maddie was home for winter break, which, naturally, coincided with a three-day long fever that kept us cooped up at home most of the week.

Valentine’s Day is in just a few weeks, so to celebrate I teamed up with some of my favorite local entrepreneurs to create a little Valentine’s brunch tablescape to get us in the spirit.

As always, I looked to Winston Flowers for the florals- I love how all the different pops of pink came together, and how the designers created a romantic feel with these whimsical stems.
