Banana Pancakes & Big Smiles
INSIDE THE PAIS FAMILY’ S SIMPLE, SWEET, AND HEALTHY FATHER’ S DAY CELEBRATION
There’ s a certain magic to the slow, sunny mornings where love feels as warm as the pancakes on the stove. For Michelle Pais, celebrated awardwinning real estate entrepreneur and busy mom, Father’ s Day is a heartfelt pause— a simple but meaningful celebration of family. In her home, it’ s not about elaborate plans. It’ s about the joy found in small hands helping to mash bananas, the sweet scent of cinnamon in the air, and the proud smiles as a homemade breakfast is served with love.
Today, Michelle invites us into her home to share their family’ s favorite child-friendly recipe, perfect for celebrating Dad with a delicious start to his special day.
Father’ s Day is a special time for family. What traditions have you and Jon created to make this day memorable with Madison? Father’ s Day is such a meaningful day in our home, and over the years, Jon and I have made it a point to keep it simple, intentional, and filled with love. One of our favorite traditions is starting the morning with breakfast together. Madison helps me make Jon’ s favorite banana protein pancakes, and we surprise him with a handmade card and lots of hugs. We always plan a fun family activity, whether it’ s a walk through our favorite park, a little backyard picnic, or just unplugging and spending quality time together. It’ s not about grand gestures. It’ s about creating those little moments that make Jon feel celebrated and appreciated. Watching Madison grow and be part of those memories makes it all the more special.
