All opinions are mine alone. #EggoBTSTarget #CollectiveBias Make a batch of this stove top Apple Cider Syrup to serve over yummy pancakes or waffles – the perfect breakfast companion this fall! Mid August is full fledged back to school time in our area, and this was a time of both excitement and nervousness for me when I was a teacher. Excitement, of course, over meeting a new group of kids and getting to work making goals for them and meeting, and hopefully exceeding, those goals during the school year. Nervousness though, over how much back sliding my students experienced over the summer break. And now as a mom of school age kids? Extreme nervousness!! I was happy to report to you earlier this week that I am proud to say we met our goal of completely the library reading program this year. But I KNOW there are skills that my boys, Silas especially, will need to re-learn in September. To a certain extent it’s a normal occurrence among students of all ages, but it doesn’t ease my worries that’s for sure. Over the past two weeks, I’ve really been trying to encourage a short amount of time every day for drawing, coloring or writing at the table. Because let’s face it – that first day back to school where they have to sit at desks, rather than running around all day long, is going to be a rude awakening! A good breakfast in the morning before school, something yummy in their lunchbox at noon, and a tasty snack after school while giving them some time to be creative, is great for their body and mind.

Can I get an AMEN that apple season, and apple cider season, is finally here?! This apple syrup is the perfect way to celebrate, too! I’m planning on sending them to school with this amazing breakfast-for-lunch bento box, along with some fruit, for a fun lunch. We love breakfast all day around this house, yum!
