Thank you for visiting
Hi, I'm Amy.... 'A Spoonful Of Sugar' is a blog that I started about the coffee shops that I visit on my way to my ongoing hospital appointments. I thought I would share good places for coffee and treats that are close to hospitals, in case you have had to travel far, have to wait long, or maybe you just need to treat yourself if it has been a difficult visit.
And what else could we do to help..?
I have spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms and they don't usually contain much for children aged 5+. I soon realised that I could do something more than talk about coffee and treat stops, so I decided to design and sell merchandise support sick children.
I have made a bright and useful coffee cup, which identifies the people who buy it as someone who cares about making hospital trips easier for children.

Why Buy A Coffee Cup?
With each cup you buy, 100% of the profits will be used to develop children's outpatient activities in hospitals across NI in conjunction with hospital staff and management, and with input from children themselves. This might be a sensory space, a library, some hideaway chairs.. whatever would make the experience a bit easier.
The cups are striking, easily recognisable and have a screw on lid, which is fool proof! There is an easy drinking spout and this cup will keep your coffee (or tea!) warm whilst you walk, drive or wait.

Coffee and treats
I like to share the many places that I enjoy having treats on the way to or from my appointments and I hope that you will get some good recommendations of places to go. By tagging the coffee shops in my posts, more people will know about them.
