Ideas to keep lunch time prep sane

TV


yup... I said it! When all else fails it's a simple 20 minute educational show. It's such a treat around here that they all stop what they're doing and focus on the tv.

I prefer to put the little ones in their booster and have the big kids sit at the table. Then I give them a book or two and they read and look at pictures while I prepare lunch. Even TV isn't enough at my house because of my two 16 month olds that always manage to get into something while my back is turned. I do however do TV starting at 4:45 when I start getting my dinner ready and my two little ones are out the door by then so it works out.
