My favorite part of homeschooling is teaching my kids how to cook. Just the other day, when Elijah and I made banana bread, we sat down to eat the fresh, hot baked goodness and he says to me, "I can't believe that was just a bunch of goop a few hours ago!" I've been working … Continue reading Ba-ba-banana Bread!
