Much to the jealousy of many English friends, here in Bavaria we have been back at school for almost a week (not that the locals have, they still have a few weeks to go lucky things!)…
Organisation is not a strength of mine, but thankfully we had no uniforms to update, just a list of school essentials as long as your arm to coordinate, some of which I still need to track down!
Getting used to those early morning starts again has to be the worst part, but with each day (and a routine that seems to be returning bit by bit) it becomes slightly less painful.
Both children seem happy to be back, and content with new classes and teachers thankfully (well as happy as Small Boy will ever be when it comes to the learning side of things!), and as much as I miss them, it means that I get to put my feet up (I can hope can’t I?) for these last few weeks of ginorma-bumpdom. 6 weeks and counting!
And whilst I imagine you are knee deep in name labels and dreaded school shoe shopping in anticipation of your own school returns, I will leave you with a Back to School recipe of mine that’s featured over on Wayfair this morning – Granola topped Blueberry, Apple, Banana & Maple Syrup Breakfast Muffins. So easy to make, and perfect for those hectic mornings when you are struggling to get everyone out of the door.

It’s pretty hard to beat a yummy cake :)

And not that unhealthy either! Thanks Lisa! (:
Ooh those are fab – my youngest is always tricky to get a good breakfast into – but I think he will eat these – going to give it a go!
Thanks Sonya, good for on the go as well! :)
They look healthy – it’s been a while since I made muffins. I need to give it a try again soon.

Thanks Mary! I think they would work well as mini muffins! :)

Thanks Fritha! :)
Oh Emma these look absolutely delicious, I can almost smell them! We should make some muffins here really before POD starts school. I’m hoping if I keep saying that over and over, it will make me feel less anxious. Still can’t believe she’s finished pre-school!!! Hope you’re good and resting x
I remember those first days so well for my two, I think I was more nervous! I hope all goes well. Thanks Charly x
Oh I think I will have to give these a try for the boys when they go back next week. We are enjoying the last days of summer here
Enjoy. I hope the weather stays nice for them. Thanks Jen! :)

*sniggers*
Seriously, they look yummy and the styling is fab!
Aw thanks Annie! :D
Yum – these sound and look as though they are delicious – I think I will take a challenge and maybe try making these with blackberries instead of blueberries? x
I think blackberries would be amazing! Thanks Mum x
Oh yum thank you for sharing. They would make great lunch box fillers too.
Definitely. Thanks Joy! (:
Breakfast muffins is a fab idea for rushed school mornings!
A good way to make sure they get some fruit! Thank you (:
They look delicious and perfect for grab and go breakfasts! I often send mine off to school munching on something as part of their breakfast ;-)
Good for those mornings when they are too nervous to sit and eat! Thanks Cass! (:
Oh my goodness, I have to admit I love a good muffin and yours look like some of the best. x
Thanks so much Sarah! (:
I like the sound of these easy to make muffins, these will be perfect for when I’m trying to get three children ready first thing in a morning.
And they are easy, promise! Thank you! (:
Wow they look scrumptious x
Thanks Sonia! (:
I can imagine that the smell of these baking is divine!Just bookmarked to my ‘recipies’ and can’t wait to give them a go, in the hope that my fussy, non-breakfast-eating teenager will like! xx
Thank you V. I hope he likes them! (:
