SALT LAKE CITY — The first day of school can be nerve-wracking — but some Utah families have a sweet way to end it.

“I feel like you just need to do that little extra on the first day of school to make them feel loved and that they can do it — they can go back,” Jill Larsen from Magna said.

Larsen has been keeping a first-day tradition for years. The tradition wasn’t always what it is today. “It started off as scones, I would make scones on the first day of school, but they’re kind of involved and take a lot of time,” Larsen said.

Over the years, the menu changed, but the heart of the tradition stayed the same. “I want to be that mom that makes something while her kids are at school, and they come home and the house smells wonderful, like baked goods,” she said.
