Ever let your Bananas get overripe? Don’t throw them out! Make this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe.
I’m legitimately obsessed with banana bread. I honestly can’t get enough and when I do make it, it doesn’t last long at our house. My kids like it, my husband likes it, and I like it so it’s usually gone within a day.
This past year or so, if you followed along with me on Instagram you know that when states started shutting down my toddler had some issues that needed to be addressed right away (2 oral surgeries), but with limited spots at doctors’ offices due to the shut down his eating was delayed severely (his therapist put him at over a year behind for his eating delay). He was in therapy for 8 months and finally caught up, but, one of the things he LOVED was banana bread! We would actually have to use it as a reward during therapy. So, I started making a ton of it, and he’s a kid, so of course I decided to try to add some chocolate chips to it. I mean, why not?!
That’s how the whole Chocolate Chip Banana Bread thing started at our house. Now it’s something I literally buy extra bananas for and deliberately let them ger overripe just so we can make this chocolate chip banana bread recipe.
I also like making these Cream Cheese Banana Muffins, so be sure to check them out!

Who here loves a good copycat recipe? Well this Caramel Frappe Recipe will not disappoint!
*raises both hands* I know I do.
I have a small confession to make, I am obsessed with Frozen Caramel Coffee Drinks! Whether it’s a Caramel Frappe from McDonalds, or a Frozen Caramel Marvel from Biggby, if it’s frozen coffee with Caramel, I will probably like it!
This recipe is very similar to a Frozen Caramel marvel from Biggby (random fact about me – I used to be barista at Biggby while I was in Law School). However, it’s a lot closer to a Caramel Frappe recipe because of the coffee I choose to use.
I have fallen in love with making coffee drinks like this at home for a couple reasons, the biggest one being it not only tastes great but it also will save you so much money!

Who loves it when your able to spend time playing with your child and have them be simultaneously learning as you do it? I know I do, that’s why I’m such a fan of this Easy Bird Feeder Activity to do with your kids!
Making the everyday a learning opportunity for my kids became a major Mom Goal for me. I always learned better with the hands-on approach growing up. Once my daughter was old enough it became clear this was also how she learned best. So, I try to incorporate fun hands-on learning activities into our daily lives.
Sometimes they are super simple like sorting out silverware (this helps me too because I’m getting the kids involved in cleaning). Other times It’s fun activities that take some prep-work and planning ahead of time.
This was an activity that was fun to create, but also fun to watch as birds came and visited the feeder!

Anyone who has wanted to ditch some of the harsh chemicals typically turn to the best essential oils for cleaning.
When it comes to essential oils, I am not one of those people who swear up and down by one brand and one brand only. There are so many great ones out there, I do personally tend to use a lot of the Young Living Brand, but that isn’t to say that it’s the best and only brand I use. I actually use a few different ones but I do tend to gravitate towards Young Living.
Also – I am NO EXPERT on essential oils, I’m simply sharing oils I have used and still use. Ones that I consider the best essential oils to have on hand for cleaning a home. Do not take this post for anything more than my experience and opinion. There are affiliate links in this post.
To be completely honest I typically use THIS cleaner for nearly everything anymore. However, there are still oils I keep on hand for cleaning and the ones I’m listing below are what I think and the best essential oils for cleaning are.

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share with you what I did for Baby Girl’s Halloween Costume this year. I made her a Chicken because I watched a video of a little girl walking around in a chicken costume and I thought it was beyond adorable with the feathers in the wind. [Read more…]
