Ahh... the struggle of trying to drink a cup of tea before it goes stone cold. I can relate! Right now it's only a concern on the weekend, because my kid gets breakfast at day care. But in a short year she'll be in kindergarten (primary school in the UK, I think?) so we'll be doing the breakfast before school thing. I'll be honest... I'm not really looking forward to it.

I'll start testing them out tonight. 🙂 I struggle with the help or not - because some dinners just don't have parts that are safe for a 4-year-old to help with! I also appreciate the link to the joke book. My kiddo has a great sense of humor, and she's started to prompt me with either "knock, knock" or "who's there?" but I can only remember one knock-knock joke from when I was a kid. I'm desperately in need of fresh material.

Oh yeah, you're a Rock Mama. Seriously, dinner time isn't my trouble time - my "Argghhh - please leave me alone for five minutes!" mental (and sometimes verbal) plea, for me it's as soon as I pick up my first morning cups of tea. Yes,'cups', I'm English so I make them two at a time in the mornings! I see potential uses for these tips all through the day - Happy Monday sweet lady!
