Banana bread

After the dreaded Ice Cube Apple Pies I made last week, and the disappointment of my Morning Glory muffins spoiling on my counter, I was slightly disheartened this week in the kitchen.  So on Wednesday I did some kitchen therapy and made box-brownies to cure my baking blues. 

Today I was inspired to make banana bread.  What inspired me most was seeing my bananas get brown sitting on my counter.  I was gonna have to throw em in the freezer today if I didn't eat them.  And what better way to eat bananas than in delicious, moist bread?!

I followed the recipe pretty closely, but of course I had to make a couple changes.  I've used this recipe before, and although it makes pretty moist bread, I wanted to take it one step further.  To do this I added 1/4 cup of milk, nothin' too special.  I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon (of course).

My bread took 1 hour and 5 minutes in my oven at 350°F and looked golden brown when it was ready to come out.


I let it cool in the pan for about 10-20 minutes, then I went ahead with a sharp bread knife to slice 'er up.


Mmmmmm!  It is so yummy, I can't wait for my hubby to come home to try some.  My favourite part of creating beautiful things in the kitchen is sharing them with others. 💛

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does!

Let's talk about co-sleeping 💤💤

Today is a great day!  It's #friyay 🎉 but seriously who'm I kidding it's always the weekend for me 😂.  Stay-at-home Mommy style! So I have a truth I need to share with you all... I co-sleep!  I KNOW! 😶 Terrible, right?!  Co-sleeping gets a lot of negativity from the parenting world, mainly because doctors and nurses all warn of the increased chance of SIDs associated with it.  So that's typically enough to scare any cautious person away from it.  However, there are a lot of people who swear by its benefits, such as increasing the bond between baby and mommy, and giving parents a chance to get more sleep because those middle-of-the-night feeds get a heck of a lot easier. The reason I do it is when my son was a newborn he would only sleep for about 45 minutes in his bassinet before waking up crying.  But if I fell asleep with him on my chest and in my arms we could both sleep for 2-3, sometimes even 4 hours!  That's a lot of sleep for a new...

Taking care of Mama Bear!

So, it's been a while--my bad peeps!!!  Maverick has been growing sooo quickly and the weather is finally warming up here in Alberta (somewhat, we still have snow but meh that's just Canada eh!) So we've been heading outside for daily walks which has been aahh-mazing for my mental and physical health!  During my pregnancy I went for regular walks (just not on those days late in my 3rd trimester when my body & especially feet ached so badly that walking was pretty much unbearable), but it was kinda challenging to get back into the groove of things post-partum.  Now that lil Mav is four months old I really am starting to feel like myself again (or even better, if that's even possible!!) During my pregnancy I gained about 70 lbs  (whheeew! Lol!) But I did lose 30 right after birth.  I haven't stepped on the scale in a lil while, because it's results were rather discouraging lol, so I've just been feelin' myself and all my lovely motherhood curves...

Battling baby rashes

Newborns don't always have the picture-perfect skin we all dream about.  Babies get acne, heat rashes, eczema, diaper rash, the list goes on. As a new parent, every time I caught sight of a rash it kind of sent me into a panic, unintentionally of course.  I think it has to do with that new mama anxiety, y'know.  So let's talk about that first time (and only time... so far...) that Maverick had diaper rash.  He was 10 weeks old, and we had just used Pampers sensitive baby wipes because we ran out of our usual brand (Kirklands).  To this day I still like to blame the change in wipes as the cause, but I'm sure it was a variety of things.  Babies can get diaper rash, or nappy rash, from wearing a soiled diaper too long, from the chemicals in diapers (and wipes), and simply from not airing out their bums enough.   When Mavi had the rash I read every online source made available to me with no prevail.  This was one stubborn bout of nappy ra...
