We have been enjoying afternoon tea everyday in our home.
I started having tea with my little ones after school last week and honestly, I didn’t know if it would last or not. But it became something that they looked forward to everyday.
My husband has been home this week and it has been wonderful to have him join us for our tea time.
On Wednesday, my husband came home from the consignment store with the most adorable Polish Pottery tea set!
We had tea in that as soon as I got it washed up. And then yesterday he brought home some petit fours from a local bakery for afternoon tea. The kids really enjoyed that treat…as did I!
There is such an art to having tea.
Our kids are learning about having a nice conversation and table manners through our afternoon tea times.
As we were having tea and cookies this afternoon, my husband said, “tea is the new coffee”. And I am becoming more and more convinced that he is right!
This afternoon the playroom was filled with conversation and requests of “pass the sugar, please” as my children brought tea time to their play time.
Seeing their tea party was a gift to my heart today.
I made a downloadable print for you to enjoy if you enjoy tea like we’re learning to! (just click the image above or this link to download your “Tea is the New Coffee” print.
