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!
