First day of school.... everyone is celebrating their kids leaving and moms every where are rejoicing, right? Well not this one. Being that I am a teacher, this means switching gears and leaving my little one in the hands of someone else as I go back to work and spend time with other peoples' children. It isn't that I don't like my job, I wouldn't be able to do it if I didn't, it is just hard leaving my everything after a summer together. I have always said I would work even if I had the option to stay home- so I am not complaining- but that doesn't mean this initial change in routine isn't hard and I don't miss the freedom of my summers. Now food is prepped on Sundays, I spend my time working out alone more often, and all of my tasks around the house must be completed in a different timeline. Here we go... seventh year teaching high school.....
When my mom tried my "Chia Seed Muffins" she said the chia seeds reminded her of poppy seeds... lemon poppy seed muffins are one of my favorite muffins so I thought why not adapt the recipe to copy cat those?! Turns out these little things are super tasty.
