Sharon, from the UK, created a hotel-style buffet breakfast in her home for the family. Let’s look…

What did you do?

Have a selection of breakfast items on the table.  I had 4 different breakfast cereals, yoghurts, juice (orange and apple), croissants, waffles, crumpets and a selection of favourite fruits such as berries, melon, pineapple, bananas.

You could also include toast or english breakfast items if you want to really push the boat out.  The great thing about this type of breakfast is that the kids eat really well and dont ask for snacks all morning.

Tell us a bit about yourself…

My name is Sharon and in a mum to a 9-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy.

Currently on furlough from a full time job, but have been enjoying spending time with my husband and children.  Been keeping up with schoolwork and trying to keep 2 very energetic kids occupied.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

My tip is to still have a set routine.  My kids love to know what’s happening each day.

Has the HWK community helped you?

Housebound with kids is great for giving different ideas for activities to keep the kids busy.
