Glazed Jumbo Lemon Crumb Muffins

Ohhh haaaaay, friends!

Haaaaaaaaappy first day of SPRING!

I’m so thrilled the first OFFICIAL day of spring has finally sprung, I can hardly contain myself! 🎉

I could care less if Mother Nature is aware that we have officially ARRIVED at the season synonymous with the blossoming of nature, new beginnings and ummm, WARMTH.


NOTHING can stop me from basking in ALL of the vernal sunshine (or sweet spring showers).

In case you haven’t gathered from my enthusiasm, spring is my FAVORITE season.

No offense to the elves and Santa, but THIS is the ‘Hap-HAPPIEST season of all’.

I mean, what’s NOT to love?

Birds chirping, flowers blooming, colorful produce, long sunny days.  🌞
