A few months ago, we started this amazing evening ritual. Just before bedtime, we have a tea party. We place a blanket on the floor, turn down the lights, burn some candles, and enjoy a cup of tea together. It’s a signal to Sevi that the day is almost done and an opportunity for us to come together once more without any distractions. More peaceful than the whole, bath and story routine, we all feel a bit off balance when we miss one so try our best to do it every night.

We usually brew a nite-time tea, to help get us all a bit more calm, in our french press rather than our usual mason jars to make it a bit more official. The teacups are extra special to me, as we each have our own unique cup found at the thrift store. Sevi’s is featured above.
