Adding sprinkles to any meal or snack makes it magical!<\/p>\n

It is safe to say it was a big hit!<\/p>\n

I realized in the last few days, jazzing up mundane things does create some excitement.

With the kids eating constantly, you might feel like you are running the school tuckshop. Try packing a snack drawer in the fridge filled with fruits, pre-made sandwiches, boiled eggs, small tomatoes and leftover meat. Dividing the snacks evenly and labelling them helps to keep bickering to a minimum. Or simply pack daily snacks in a container, that they can help themselves to, instead of asking all the time. BUT make sure to explain to everyone that the snacks supplied are for the whole day and that trips to the store are kept to a minimum. Without creating any stress or uncertainty of course.<\/p>\n
