With three small kids the meals are short and more chaotic than sweet, but it still means very much to me. I’m such a lover of old traditions that I believe set a solid foundation for life forever. To eat together even when the kids are small brings us together in the hectic world and the busy days.
What does it look like when you gather around the dining table, do you have any special routines?
We try to always set the table beautifully, even if it’s for a short breakfast we have a lit candle and in the evening napkins for everyone. We always put the food on the table for everyone to see and smell before we eat, I feel it’s so much more cozy than to take the food directly from the stove. I think the kids need to learn this as early as possible, for me this is how you learn about eating and food. To see, to smell and to be able to put it on your plate yourself even if you’re two years old like Alix. I also have never and will never have screens on the table or in the kitchen in my life. On Sundays we do extra special dinners and in the mornings we always have waffles.
