SNACK ATTACK

Fun-filled treats to keep the kids busy during the holidays

- 

KNOCK Knock.... mom, are you there? I know you're there, "jy steek weg!" That makes two of us.

Actually, let's be real - all moms are hiding right now. It's school holidays, and that means the kids are home, and we all know what that means.

As early as 7am, you hear footsteps, and then boom! "Mom, I'm hungry!" And you're lying there thinking, laaitie, how is it that on school days I have to drag you out of bed, but now you're wide awake with a rumbling tummy? You drag yourself out of bed to make breakfast, and not even an hour later it's: "Mom, can I have peanut butter bread and juice?" Before you know it, the fridge bangs, the cupboard swings open, and you hear snip snip - he's having chips.

And when you finally check the time? It's only 10:15am. Still morning.

I know you're buying three loaves of bread a day. I know that block of cheese you bought two days ago, it's already finished.

And don't even think the cold weather has slowed them down - yoghurt is still a hit. As for that 2-litre cooldrink you put in the fridge? Gone. Finished before you could even have a sippy.

And how can I forget "mommy, I lus for a sherbet, please give me a R1."

Struggle

The struggle is real, mom. Very real.

Another fun fact - our broke besties love the finer things in life. They're out here living their best lives, but they're not working.

And somehow, they still want to be spoiled and entertained - by us! This week, we're adding a twist to the usual snacks - something fun, simple, and delicious. And the best part? The kids can get involved too. These easy snack ideas are not just tasty, they're also a great way to keep the little ones busy for a bit.
