Another Family Tradition

When we were younger and had a hard time sleeping my mom used to make us "sleepy milk." She added a few "secret" ingredients and then she would add food coloring. We usually got to pick what color we wanted. Then as soon as the cup was empty she would tell us to hurry to bed before it started working. So off we would run to bed before we fell asleep while brushing our teeth or walking up the stairs. It always worked.

Now I do it for my kids too. I don't always think to do it very often, but it is still neat to do it for my kiddos. I tell my kids that when they become parents I will pass on grandma's secret recipe to them.
