<div style="text-align: left;">
It's been 2 years since our last post! Crazy! Wow, does time go by fast! Our last post was all about taking our first leap into the wholesale market. What a crazy leap it was! I don't even remember what that first booth looked like, but I remember it was an amazing experience!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have now done several gift show, NY, Vegas, even Japan! (above is our last booth at NY NOW in February) We are so thankful for all the support we have received as this dream comes true! We are gearing up again for NY NOW in August! We thought it was the perfect time to get this blog going again and take you along for the ride!</div>

Every time she comes she brings Ellie a bunch of bananas. Ellie LOVES bananas, but I always seem to have one or two left the following week and my mom ALWAYS comes with more. So I decided to mash them up and try to make something other than banana bread. I looked through a few recipes and one from an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook caught my eye, but I didn't have oat bran nor did I have enough honey...so here is what I did, believe it or not, they came out great!

I must say though with her cute little red cheeks and her runny nose I gave her whatever she wanted today, and so did Daisy (the dog)! She gave me all I wanted today too, lots of snuggles, attempted smiles behind the teary eyes and she even fell asleep in my arms, that hasn't happened for months. I didn't want to put her down, it was so yummy!
