It seems like summer vacation sure flew by again this year. Kirstie had her first official day of prep school (Dutch ‘gymnasium’) today, and it was a long one! She was home just a little bit after 5PM. When she took off for school this morning, I packed her with food and drink and sent her away with all sorts of advice: from “remember, this is your fourth year, and you need to work much harder than ever before” to “make sure you eat well, and wash your hands before you do!” OK, so she’s 15, but hey, can I help myself? Not really. She’ll always be my child.
To welcome her back after her first day, I decided to bake some semi-healthy banana-millet muffins.
I really wanted her to come home to a house that smelled sweet and delicious. Create memories, you know? Hope you like them. We sure did! PS: The millet adds a fabulously crunchy touch!
