I usually do have one kid with me at the grocery. It's fun to see them get excited over choosing their fruit. Just gotta avoid too much in the cookie aisle. :) skeet: Thanks for commenting!

When you're ready to take it to the next level, you might allow them to help you select the groceries. "Hm! Carrots are on the menu for Thursday. What do you think - fresh, canned or frozen? Fresh - okay, we can buy these big ones that we have to scrape and chop up or these little ones that are ready to cook. Which do you think is better?" Visiting from the Carnival of Family Life. Great post to include! That’s a great idea to let the kids get involved in menu planning and let them know their input is important.

I think a menu in general is a great idea, I hope I stick with it! :D Revka: Yeah, it was mostly me and the 6 year old, but she made sure that there were items that her brothers liked, too!

I plan 2 weeks' worth of menus at one time, but my oldest child is 4 so my girls are not quite able to help create the menu. They love to help me cook already, and I'm sure they will help with menu planning when they are older. Getting your children to help develop a menu is a great idea.

We can't pass a McDonald's w/o my 1 year old (soon to be 2) saying, "frun fry" and "keshpup". :D Hsien: Living in a hotel and having all the meals cooked NOT by me? Sounds fantastic!!! Though I'm sure it had it's drawbacks, too. :D Kristy: Thanks for commenting. :) They do learn early, don’t they?
