Well, the 2022-2023 school year is officially underway.  Georgia schools don't mess around - most students and teachers have been back in the classroom for over a week already. And I don't know about you, but the first sign of school buses driving around the neighborhood, signals the end of summer for me.  🚌 😫  I have mixed emotions about this. 🙃
​
This post is officially dedicated to every teacher, parent, bus driver, administrator, janitor, therapist and cafeteria worker in the schools this year.  Thank you for your commitment to investing in the lives of these precious children.  Although it's most certainly not reflected in your pay check (if you get one) - your job matters and you're making a difference in the lives of children.  Just keep that in mind.  I appreciate you.

I don't remember what time I used to get on the school bus in the morning but I know that the sun had been up for a while.🌞  The kids in my neighborhood are being picked up in front of my house at 6:15.  6:15!!!😴  Does that sound ridiculously early to anyone else?  

As a girl who spent far too much time trying to achieve maximum hair height in high school, I can't even imagine what time I would have to wake up in order to catch a 6:15 bus. #80sgirl 😂  I also can't imagine that anyone catching an early bus or leaving for school that early would have time for a proper breakfast.  That's why this Lemon Muffin recipe is perfect for everyone starting school this month.  Whip up a batch of muffins for an easy morning treat to send with your kids on their way to school or while they wait for the bus. 🚌 They're also great for packing in a lunch box or serving as an after school snack.

I love a bite size muffin.  Sure a giant, larger than life, bakery sized muffin is great but there's something special about a tiny, two bite snack.  I wish I could say that mini muffins help with portion control.🙅🏻‍♀️  But in reality, I feel like I actually consume more muffin calories when they're small than when I see a single giant muffin sitting in front of me.😅  And even though I eat more of them - I will forever love mini muffins.  

​Ciao!
