It's a Baking Kind of Day

I bought a can of organic pumpkin mix a couple weeks ago and decided today was the perfect day to wipe something up!! I love when I get in the mood to bake because it serves as a huge stress reliever! Baby is napping, Mumford & Sons is playing, and mommy is baking!! This is a great recipe that I found for Chai pumpkin bread. I was so excited to make this because I have never used tea in bread. All I can say is that it smells amazing! I had to make a few adjustments based on what I had available at home (too lazy to go to the store today). I am reposting the recipe here as well as providing the link for you!
