Dinner at my house

I don't know about you, but dinner at my house has become quite the spectacle! It's a daily ritual that we place huge importance on in my home as it's a chance for all of us to connect as a family and touch base about one another's day. Sounds picturistic but our meals are nothing of the sort.

Let me paint reality for you: The 4 year old refuses to eat, the 1.5 year old insists on tossing her food everywhere, the dog is grovelling for scraps at our feet and it's a constant struggle to take one bite of our own meals before the food is stone cold as our roles are chef, waitress, busser and maitre'd. I long for the days of leisurely eating (and tasting) my food over good conversation.

Here's a snipit of what my youngest got into at dinner after releasing her from her toddler seat and after I turned my back for a minute.

Note she is eating margarine like it's icing and dumping food all over the floors while trying not to get any sticky rice on her feet! As you can see, my son thinks the dinner table is a place for each of his favorite dinky cars!

Thankfully I get to get out with the momstown mamas for our Moms Nights Out each month! A nice break from dinnertime at my place next week will be on June 14th at Vi's for Pies! Click here for more details.
