When I got the opportunity to write about my tea
time routines with Brit Mums and Birds Eye #afterschoolchefs @http://bit.ly/afterschoolchefs
I decided to take the challenge, mainly as I was struggling getting back into a
routine after a wonderful long summer.
I am so lucky to have a job where I am off with the
Boys during holiday time. I watch my friends trying to organise childcare and holidays around
their families, and thank my lucky stars I do not have to worry about childcare
throughout the summer.
However long summer days completely ruin our
routine, we are naturally a family that eats later, we like to sit together and
chat about our day. The other issue I
have is the boys are quite fussy, and both have completely different tastes in
food. So yes I am one of those Mums that cooks different meals for us all. The
boys don't like many dishes with sauce on, they like plain food. When Jack was
younger we used to insist he ate what we put in front of him, every mealtime
was like a war zone. It became so stressful that I used to dread mealtimes.
