Afternoon Tea


My new secret to surviving the afternoon...it's found in a cup of tea!

In the past two weeks since we've returned from Hawaii my husband has had to be gone out of state two different times. With the extra demands put on me I knew I needed some extra help. I turned to something that millions of people have already discovered -- afternoon tea!

It really is amazing what happens when one stops long enough (set aside the to-do list) to brew a cup of tea and then pauses for a few moments to sip and enjoy. Simply allowing the warmth to gently relax and soothe. After being relaxed I then get a little boost to make it through the rest of the day. For that moment I am still (which does not happen on it's own).

Something JUST for me. A little treat in afternoon tea.

I second you on that thought, but I have afternoon COFFEE instead of tea -need that extra caffeine boost!

Do you put it all together like that on a tray and everything? or was that jsut for the picture?

So glad you also have a fun afternoon treat! :)

I wish I could say that I put it on a tray every time for myself but I have not yet done that one. I do however sit in the comfy chair under the tray though! :)
