And never more-so then at the table.Don't get me wrong, I love that my kids want to talk. But one will start and then another chimes in. Soon they are all talking over each other and in an effort to be heard...
They get louder & louder & louder until no one can even understand what is being said.
Enter...
The Talking SpatulaAt our diner table (if you're a child) you are not allowed to talk unless you are holding it.
It has really helped our efforts to have enjoyable conversation around the table.
We have also added candles...
It just doesn't seem right to yell at a table with candles.
So...
The Talking Spatula works for me!

The candle idea actually made me laugh... too cute. :-)
You mean you can light the candles that sit pretty on the table...?! ;-) I love the talking *spatula* - very food appropriate!!!
What a brilliant idea! Love it - I think I'll just have to give it a go, although I think that Quinn maybe just a little to little to join in... we'll see! Thanks for checking out my blog and leaving a comment - it is very rewarding to us new comers! :) and so miss u too! xx
Love it! Brilliant idea. You know you'll have families world-wide passing the spatula at tea times now!
