In the mean time do not despair just think about what we all enjoyed as children……………. Can’t think that far back? I’ll give you a hint…………… Other Moms coming to lunch with there children and play time for all the kiddies………….does it sound like too much work? Well really it does not have to be if one plans ahead.

 Planning ahead means being realistic about the size of your home and how many people it will hold comfortably, deciding on a date, and seeing who is available to come. This play date does not have to cost you a fortune………..

For lunch you stick to the menu for the young ones squiggey processed food or if they have gotten some teeth, finger food nibbles bite size pieces of cheese-toasties/ cheese pizza etc….

The grown ups will be happy with a vegetable stew followed by salad and light dessert (most of this can be prepared the day before, so you can relax and enjoy your afternoon!)

Do not forget to enlist your invites to return the favor by hosting a play date at their homes too!

I can already smell spring-time it is just around the corner………………………….. Patience is a virtue
