omg guys it's NATIONAL BANANA BREAD DAY 😍🍌🍞 if you know me, you know i'm obsessed. one of my recent favorites is this one made with chickpea flour, which makes the most tender, moist, and nourishing banana bread. and it's gluten free and grain free! i love adding chocolate chips in here (duh) but you could also throw in nuts for crunch or blueberries for color.⠀ ⠀ grab the recipe in my bio!⠀ ⠀ https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/chickpea-flour-banana-bread-gluten-free ⠀ #ambitiouskitchen #nationalbananabreadday #bananabreadday #bananabread #chickpeaflour #glutenfree #glutenfreebaking #nutfree #dairyfree #naturallysweetened #baking #healthybaking #healthydesserts #feedfeed #thekitchn #huffposttaste #eatwellbewell #nourish

you won’t remember those nights I cried out of f

you won’t remember those nights I cried out of frustration bc I was exhausted. or how I gave you the same boxed mac and cheese for lunch, but also for dinner, and how it made me feel oddly guilty. cause you know, I’m type A like that. you won’t mind if the laundry isn’t done or the dishes don’t get put away one night. in fact, you won’t even notice. and you certainly won’t care about how I looked when I wake up in the morning or if i put on makeup. what you will remember is the way I comforted you and held you when you were sad or hurt. how I showed up for you and how you always knew you could depend on me. or those nights we read your favorite book together over and over for 10 extra minutes past bedtime. you’ll remember how I always made you feel safe and loved, and how being together always, always felt like home no matter where in the world we were ❤️ this is motherhood. all that matters is that we show up and do our best, even if it’s imperfect in our eyes — because in our littles, most of the time we’re doing just fine. #thisismotherhood #motherhood
