Well, it’s official. Summer is over and the kids are back to school! Can I get a woot woot?!  hahaha

Actually, I’m having a love/hate feeling about the kids going back. I miss them during the day, but in all reality they’re both home by 3, so we still have a lot of time together.  And in efforts to keep things real around here, my kids were going stir crazy.  Crrrazy.  They were missing their friends, and were really needing to get their brains active again.  So for that, I’m happy to have them back at school.  Plus, I’ve been looking forward to getting our home back into a routine.  I like routine.  It keeps me calm…  😉

So with the kids out of the house, it’s time for me to get my baking on, and I’m bringing out all my fall spices to do it!

What says fall better than ginger and cinnamon? How about Gingersnap Raisin Muffins?  Mmmmmm. These muffins are spicy, moist and so good! And they’d be perfect with a spot of tea! Actually, these would be great for Christmas time too…but I digress…I’m not going to go to that time of year just yet.  😉

  1. I do like Ginger. I would have to leave half without raisins for me and the other half in for hubby should I give these a go. Jo-Anna, I can’t remember if I had mentioned what a “huge” hit the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies, you had posted awhile back, had been with hubby and both grandboys. Embrace the day !
