As many of us know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month but you may not be aware that it is also National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic abuse is often one of those things that we keep silent about because of a stigma that goes along with it.

The boys have been begging to make something so I decided to let them have a try at banana pudding this past week. I must say that they did a great job and we all enjoyed their tasty dessert!
They had a lot of fun making it as well. We used our Easy Banana Pudding recipe.
They all took turns cutting the bananas with these cute little knives I found on Amazon. Continue reading “Nanner Puddin’ Time”
