It’s often the little things that help keep family life interesting. French Toast Fridays is one of them in our home!
Mornings are so rushed with everyone needing to get out of the house. Working on providing a sense of calm in the mornings has been one of my priorities this term. Being organised and establishing routines certainly help us to do this. Knowing what is for breakfast usually helps and having fun themes certainly helps the kids get out of bed! Sizzling french toast with jam, nutella helps with this!
