Snack and Story

When we were kids, every night our parents provided us with "snack and story." Just before bedtime, Mom or Dad would read a chapter from a book, such as A Wrinkle in Time, or The Prince and the Pauper, or Little Women. We would get a beverage of our choice and one serving of a food item of our choice. Beverages were usually orange juice, apple juice, or chocolate milk. Food items were usually a chunk of cheese, a slice of bologna, a pickle, or maybe cinnamon toast. I am so excited about continuing this tradition with Tillie, though I might vary it a bit by providing different victual options. But then, maybe Tillie will take after her momma and delight in the refined combination of pickle and chocolate milk.
