Intro by Robin

Last Wednesday was “Take Your Kids to Work Day”.  Officially, it’s a day for grade 9 kids to experience the workplace and explore careers. 

Unofficially, it’s a day for parents to show off their teen to their coworkers – or seems to be anyway.  That’s what I did – I’m so proud of my girlie.

Shortly after I started my year-long leave (to recover from burnout and be creative), my daughter lamented about this upcoming day.  “What am I supposed to do on Take Your Kids to Work Day?” she moaned, “Go to MY OWN school with Daddy? Or STAY HOME with you?”

Ed is a teacher at the same high school Charlotte now attends – so that’s super dull and weird.  And being at home, she does pretty regularly – snore.

So I cooked up a more exciting plan for her.

The afternoon included visiting my usual workplace and meeting some of the Low German Mennonite from Mexico moms that attend the young family program I normally run.  Plus she could see the sort of work I usually do.

The most fun part though was having my co-workers and volunteers fuss over the girl many of them last saw as a baby.  #proudmamaforever

In the morning we created and photographed for the blog. So much fun!

Last year around this time Charlotte started contributing some of her recipes here.  The girl is a great baker and budding photographer.  It’s been a few months since she last shared.  She became reluctant to do the work – and I’m a big believer in picking your battles.  The mom-daughter relationship takes major priority over the blogger-contributor roles any day, any time.

But I think she might be back into it – we’ll see!

What she would like you to know about her recipe:  

• It’s quick to make!  It takes about 5 minutes start to finish.
• You can use any fruit.  If you keep some fruit in the freezer you will always be ready to make this.  Frozen fruit is already cleaned and cut up – so saves you time!
• It’s got fibre to help fill you up – with the whole wheat flour and the berries.
• She’s cut out the extra fat and calories that butter, oil or margarine would give – and you don’t miss it.
• If you have a little tub of yogurt you’ve got enough to mix into the muffin – plus more for a dollop on top.
• You can use any yogurt flavour you like.  Mix up your fruit and yogurt for a new muffin every time.
• It makes enough to fill a cappuccino size mug.

The recipe for this personal microwave mug muffin couldn’t be simpler! Just a couple of minutes in the microwave. Here are the wholesome ingredients and easy steps…
