The Ellis Estate

Last night we decided to do something we don't normally do on a random Wednesday night.  We tried a brand new recipe and made muffins from scratch.  Aly said that she wanted to try making banana muffins, so I quickly searched Pinterest for an easy recipe that would allow her to do most of the work and we quickly ran to the store for the ingredients.


Once home, Aly and I set about to gathering our baking supplies.  For our mini muffins, we only needed a few simple tools to get started.


Tools: Mini Muffin Pan (we also used a mini bundt pan) Fork Spoon or mixing spatula Mixing bowl Measuring cups
Measuring spoons

For those who don't know me, I'm Vicki.  I'm a mom to this beautiful princess who brings me joy every single day.  We love to have adventures any time we can, and to create memories together.  Whether it's going to a museum, visiting the zoo, or having a tea party at home, we look for ways to have fun and explore the world around us.  When I have a chance for some "me time", I like to cook, craft (I have a serious Pinterest addiction), watch Netflix, and give time to organizations that support causes close to my heart.
From family fun, to household projects, to the day to day, this is our life!  Thank you for joining me on this adventure!
