ADVERTISEMENT: Playdate snacks
Share
What do you serve on a playdate? Anything? Do others serve you snacks? Perhaps a game of bingo? Oh, the one thing I'm looking forward to in the old folks home - bingo. I love bingo.
Today Vivien was on a drop off playdate and I knew that she would be staying for dinner so I brought the mom some lovely nectarines that Mark had just gotten at the farmer's market. The kind that you have to eat within a day or they will go south, which meant they were really good. We also have to be careful of different allergies and preferences so offering food can be a landmine. There is always tea..
Parenting can make you hungry. What's your playdate snack of choice?
I love this series. You are so natural.
Anyway, business at hand:
we ALWAYS have to bring our own food, and epipen. We have nut and dairy and egg allergies.
I NEVER expect anyone to provide for us. That is undue stress for them.
I'll take the responsibility. That way, both parties rest easy.
If I am being invited, that is not hosting, then I always bring a little something, seems only fair since they have offered up their home for the sacrifice that is a playdate! Chex Mix is a great idea, I LOVE IT haha. We also bring Pirate's Booty, veggie straws or just some berries if I have them laying around. We like snacks the kids can dig into also if they want.
I always bring for Sarah, because she is such a picky eater and has a lot of texture stuff going on. I make sure to bring enough for the kids who are going to be there as well usually. Even if they don't want it, at least it's there to avert a possible tantrum.
Chex mix is a good idea. I'll get some right away.
I never think of feeding the moms.
I guess now I will. I'd hate for a mom to have a tantrum.
Something to think about.
