Calling all moms of picky eaters. Pin this recipe right this instant because your kids will love you and you’ll feel confident giving them this snack! I remember when Peighton was a baby she would eat anything. I mean anything. Over the years, especially since starting school, she started eating fewer and fewer healthy foods and it drives me batty. I’m thankful that she still has several veggies she enjoys but fruit is another story. Bananas? Nope. Strawberries? Maybe a nibble. Grapes? Forget it. So… when it comes to healthy treats, these chocolate chip zucchini muffins fit the bill. She completely loves them and I feel good about my girls eating them.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins

One thing I love about these chocolate chip zucchini muffins is that the recipe is really adjustable. I sometimes use a mashed banana and sometimes I use applesauce. I also play with the type of flour I use. I almost always use whole wheat but sometimes I’ll use half whole wheat and half all-purpose. One thing always stays the same – the zucchini and the chocolate chips šŸ˜‰

I always make them into mini muffins for my girls. They love anything miniature and it’s the perfect size for a light snack. I use them as treats in their lunches or give them one or two after school for a snack.

Delicious and healthy chocolate chip zucchini muffins that your kids will love

To store these chocolate chip zucchini muffins, I keep them in a gallon freezer bag in my freezer. I’ll pull them out and put them in their lunch boxes and by the time they’re ready to eat them they are perfectly thawed. If they want one right away, I will nuke them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Look at those happy girls! If you try this recipe, I hope you’ll let me know your thoughts on it in the comments!

Removable wallpaper is a game changer! A couple mo Removable wallpaper is a game changer! A couple months ago Matt and I spent an afternoon slapping this up on our bedroom wall and it completely transformed the space. It can be super hard to put your stamp on a rental but I’m pretty pleased with the way this room turned out! #rentalfriendly #bedroom #milspouse #diyprojects #removablewallpaper #coastaldecor

#ad Homeschool/General parent ā€œproā€ tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent ā€œproā€ tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
šŸ’™
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. šŸ’™šŸ’™
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. šŸŽ„
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???
