Blueberry Crumble Muffins

Happy Labor Day! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend with family and friends! We’re spending our last day up at the lake today and then tomorrow is the first day of school!

For the first day of school, I’m planning to serve up these delicious Blueberry Crumble Muffins. Filled with beautiful fresh blueberries and topped with a cinnamon sugar crumb mixture, these muffins are sure to please!

I know Dane is going to love school. We have a paper chain countdown hanging from his doorknob in his bedroom, and each day as he removes a link from the chain he knows he’s one day closer to the big day. I think I’m watching that chain as closely as he is as it gets smaller and smaller each and every day.

 Soon he’ll have homework, swim lessons and field trips. Am I ready for this? I’m not sure. But I know that he is. Isn’t it funny how sometimes we as parents are the ones feeling anxious – maybe a little worried – and our children act as if they’re ready to take on the world?

On the way home from the open house I said to him, “So what do you think, bud? This is going to be a bit different then daycare, huh?” He replied, “After the first week, I’ll have everything figured out.” You know what? I believe he very well may.

I love seeing life through my children’s eyes. It gives me a new perspective and makes me look at things differently. I’m honestly excited about tomorrow, too. New friends, new processes, new experiences. He’s going to do great.

I can’t wait to hear how his first day goes. We’re going to start the day out right with these delicious muffins and, who knows, we may very well end our day with them, too. This is the beginning of a new adventure for our entire family. My little boy is growing up!
