Quick Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins

I recently went on vacation and when I got home realized I had left some bananas on my counter that needed to have something done with them pronto! So I called my mom and got her banana muffin recipe. These mini muffins quickly became my girls new favourite treat 2 weeks and 4 or more batches later I still can not keep them in the house for more than a day!

I love this recipe for a few reasons,

1. There is no need for eggs, oil, milk... just pantry staples.
2. It makes a small batch 12 small muffins or 24 mini muffins...
(this is turning out to be a bit of a problem now as they eat so many)
3. It is super quick to make.

I did make a few changes to the recipe so I will list the recipe the way I make it and then list the original that was given to me by my mom.

Reusable Cotton Mak-Uup Pads...Tutorial

Make Your Own Cotton Make-Up Removal Pads A Tutorial I have been a a de stashing kick lately and one of the things I have a lot of bits of is cotton yarn. I recently renovated my Master bathroom and as a result I have been trying to de clutter and one thing I figured I could get ride of is the cotton pads and balls from under the sink (by using them) and replace them with a single set of reusable cotton pads that will a small jar on my counter and in doing so also save me some money by keeping me form buying more single use cotton pads in the future. As I was making my little circles I took some photos to share the process with you. Step 1 Create a magic circle and cast on 6 Step 2 Close the Magic Circle Step 3 Chain one, 2 Single Crochet in each Single crochet and slip stich to close Step 4 Chain 2, 2 Double Crochet in each single crochet and slip stitch. Step 5 With Darning needle sew in the loose ends Step 6 Clip remaining ends Repeat as needed.

My favourite diaper bag...

So I was over at Craft Gossip before Halloween and saw the cutest little diaper bag made from the babies outgrown overalls and as luck would have it I had a pair sitting at the front door that I loved and was just about to give away so I dragged them down stairs to my machine and pulled up the tutorial over at Sew and Grow and shortly their after I had a cute little bag made from a pair of my favourite baby overalls. I love this bag because I attaches to your purse and therefore you only need to throw one bag strap over your shoulder. it is also great for leaving the little ones at a babysitter, grandma or other spot just unsnap the bag and leave it with them. Finally it can be strapped onto a stroller quickly so you have easy access to the snaks. the only thing I would do different next time and there will be a next time is use a pair of overalls that are not made from a knit fabric that way it will not bulge so much when stuffed full and hold its shape a little better.
