The most amazing frosting I have ever tried: banana cake with browned butter frosting

Good morning friends, happy Friday!
I am writing this message after my morning workout and a quick breakfast, I am still in my sweaty workout clothes and I have to be very fast because my daughter will need my laptop in less than 30 minutes for her video chat with her teacher! This is life during COVID! I am trying to manage the kids` play time and the homework for Aurora but I am noticing that they are getting tired, they fight a lot, I feel like they struggle to play together (especially the boys) and Aurora is getting tired of doing her homework. Next week I will try to change a little our routines and hopefully their behavior will improve.

Movie night with kids: 10 of our favorite movies

Hello friends,

Happy Friday! I hope that you are doing well. I know that the quarantine rules in Italy have become a little less strict, they are in what is so called `phase 2` and hopefully life will be a little easier.

We are keeping up with our schedule, with a lot of activities outside, playtime in our yard, but also a lot of tv, tantrums and fights! Some of the new activities in the past weeks consisted in learning how to go on a bike for Alessandro, trying to transform myself into a hairdresser and giving the husband and boys a haircut (I was a little hesitant, but I have to say that it went pretty well!), we also cleaned up a portion of our neighborhood from litter (the kids were very excited and two persons stopped along the street to thank us for the job we were doing!).
