Strawberry Poppy Seed Sour Cream Crumb Muffins

Just when I start to think I’m getting this mom thing down, like I’m not completely failing, or I’m proud of the patience I’ve had with the boys, we have a day like yesterday.

Fail. fail. fail. It was a doozy.  

Thank goodness today is a new day. 

And for muffins. These muffins saved me when I about lost my mind and needed a bite (or two or ten) of comfort food.  Yes, my name is Kristy and I’m a stress eater.  And sometimes when my children have melt-downs over silly things all day long, sometimes for the whole world to see, I get a little stressed out. Just a little.  

These muffins though, they helped. 

Tart strawberries in a light and fluffy muffin loaded with poppy seeds, a hint of almond, and topped with a buttery, sugar-crumb topping.  Mmm, they’re pretty perfect.   Each bite took me to a happier, more relaxed place. 

Happy Mother’s Day weekend! Being a mom is a tough job. I’m thankful for new days, for a chance to be better at this whole mom thing every day.
