It's your turn to play chef and waiter, so get dressed up and get acting! 

• Prepare your kids' favourite meal for lunch or dinner.

• Set the table with a white table cloth, your finest dishes (if you dare!) or fancy paperware. You can light some candles for ambiance but away from the kids.

• Welcome your kids to your restaurant. Seat them and offer them some juice or water as a waiter in a fancy restaurant would. 

• Follow this with taking their order.

• Bring them their food and wish them bon appetite. Don't forget to check on them as they eat to ask if they need anything else.

• Surprise them with a yummy dessert- on the house!

Instead of missing spending hot days at the ice cream store, make one with the kids! It's easier than you think and makes great photos for your insta ;)

Don't forget to reward your kids with real ice cream after!

Yay! We love pancakes- especially fluffy, delicious ones!
