Start a Ritual of Tea Time with Your girls

and big girls do too. Little girls love tea parties... hats, little teacups, beads and bracelets.

It's as if it's just part of being a girl ... Can't you just picture it? Tea time!
There are so many great reasons to join up with our friends
across the Atlantic and begin the tradition of afternoon
tea EVERY day, but realizing that we busy moms aren't
ready for a big step like that, let's start with a once a
week ritual to build a fabulous habit and tradition or our
girls to last a lifetime!
Why have weekly teatime?
peaceful.... You'll see... Provide a once a week respite from the craziness of life around a cup of tea. Even for kids these days between school, homework, extra-curricular activities, sports and more homework, life is anything but peaceful.

For most of us life is just a little nutty. Let's face it ladies. It's peaceful. 1.
2. It's fun! As I said above, girls of all ages LOVE the
ritual of tea. Something about pouring the liquid out of
the pot into lovely cups... it's just a little slice of
heaven.
That translates to graceful, gentle, soft...everything that you think of when you're thinking of tea. I may get some hate mail here but when the woman was created, she was created FEMININE! Tea is an excellent time to focus on gentleness and grace. It's feminine.

3.
4. It's memory building. Think of years from now when your
girls will be recounting the fond memories of your weekly
tea together. Better yet, imagine seeing your girls start
the same tradition with their girls.
Opportunities abound in tea time to show your little ladies how to be kind, quiet and caring, as well as how to use a fork, sip without slurping, etc. There is really no easier way to teach your young ladies manners than at a lovely tea table. It's enriching.

5.
For this reason alone I think tea time should be mandatory for families with teenagers. As your girls get older it will be easier for them to share what's been going on will create a culture of conversation. It encourages conversation. 6.
7. It's memory building. Think of years from now when your
girls will be recounting the fond memories of your weekly
tea together. Better yet, imagine seeing your girls start
the same tradition with their girls.
Maybe it's time for you to think about starting the weekly
tradition of tea in your household this week. It's not a
difficult thing to do and resources and books abound on the
topic. Start simple and you'll see... it will become a habit
in no time.

Tea for Two (Or More) Party

Do you share gardening tips? Do you discuss a book? Do you play cards during tea? Find shapes of tea cups and saucers, cookies, tea pots, flowers.

Use all of the things you do during tea time as inspiration or decorating supplies. A Tea Party may have the reputation of being a calm and quiet gathering, but that doesn't mean it can't be a good time.
Use a teapot shaped invitation, or a plain paper one and include a tea bag in it. Invite the guests to a comfortable setting such as your home and prepare for a lovely visit. Mother/ daughter gatherings, garden clubs or ladies luncheons are all perfect for a tea party. The great part about Tea Parties is they can be a party for any age group.
Decorations can be as little or as much as you like. Party supply stores will have every color of balloon or paper goods you need for the kitchen.
Getting a little messy is a great ice breaker. Whether it is cheese dip to go with crackers, fruit flavored muffins, or even cookies, the time in the kitchen will be fun interaction. Instead of games, have the guests prepare their own snacks.
You could decorate the pots, or if you gather for tea say once a month, you could watch the seeds sprout and grow every time you visit. Another idea would be to plant seeds or transplant flowers. A wreath could be made with a wire or foam base. This could be done easily with ribbon, floral wire and a hot glue gun.

Everyone could make a bouquet, a tussy mussy, or a straw hat with whatever flowers are on hand. Have a wide variety of fresh flowers on hand to decorate personalized projects. After food preparation is done and goodies are baking, start an activity.
The end result will be a day of fun conversation and good food. You want the activities to be fun, but not overpowering. No matter what activities you do, keep it simple and light- hearted.

Guests can continue to be crafty while sipping on tea and eating the fruits of their own labor when the snacks are ready. If activities aren't your bag, play card games or just visit.
