banana muffin recipe | san diego lifestyle photographer

This year, it has been a goal of mine to be more present.  More specifically, with my kids.  It has been so easy to say, Not right now, mama's busy, that I tend to forget when the last time was when I played with them.  I need to stop thinking about the million other things I have to do when I am with them.  Because the time I spend with them, at that moment, is the most important thing I have to do.

Last week we went to the library and found a storybook with a recipe for banana muffins.  Parker and I made them together, while Makaila taste-tested the bananas and the finished muffins.
