Woman in Real Life

Happy Wednesday friends! There have been a couple of pretty darn hot days around here this week. Our air conditioner still isn't working - we are awaiting our trusted repairman, who is recovering from an operation for another week or so.

I'm not really good (at all!) at withstanding heat. Let's just say I don't get as much done as I would like when the house is 35 to 40 degrees Celsius inside! I have been careful to stock up on lots of delicious and refreshing fruit. I really crave fruit in summer and I find the whole family will eat lots of fruit if I wash it and put platters of it out regularly.

Mmmm...banana chocolate chip muffins. There's nothing better on a cold morning than a warm baked banana muffin and a hot cup of tea. Let the wind bluster outside and take a moment to enjoy a homemade, tasty, nurturing baked good before starting your busy day. No time? Bake a batch of banana muffins on the weekend and freeze them individually. Then grab a homemade banana muffin to take to work for your mid-morning coffee break! Once I started making homemade muffins, I couldn't stand the fluffy, cake-like ones from the stores anymore.
