Rainy weather (for more than a day or 2), living in a small house and having small children does not make a good combination...
After a morning of rain, attempted toilet training (not too serious yet, but our Mr 2 has been wearing undies at home for the past 4 days), and a painting activity which ended up much messier than expected, by 11am there was one frazzled mummy around here.
In my Internet travels quite a while ago now, I found a link for muffin-tin lunches. Muffin-tin lunches were a welcome mood-lightening treat around here today. Here is what you do:
1) Grab a 6 or 12 hole muffin tin (I suggest a 6 hole tin, otherwise you have to come up with too many ideas!)
2) Fill each hole with a different food. This is a great opportunity to introduce a small amount of non-preferred foods. I used rice/corn cakes, cucumber, cheese, boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, and a huge strawberry!
3) Serve for lunch.
Have you ever served a muffin tin lunch?
