Cooking with the little ones

Almost all little ones will want to help cook with you! Never mind that "Oh, they will make a mess and I don't feel up to it", (I have had that feeling before) just cook with them anyways. Even if they do make a mess! Have fun with them. Sometimes its more fun to make a mess.=) Afterwards, encourage them to help clean up. And you will have a growing relationship with them, that they will never forget!

~KJV

Keys to the kitchen

• Clean your kitchen as you go. I try to get as many dirty dishes as possible out of the way before we sit down to eat. After supper, there's less mess, which means more time to spend with family
• Make a grocery list and set a budget, then stick to them when shopping. I shop once a month, with the exception of things such as milk and eggs. That way, I don't have to go to the store as often and can keep a closer eye on my spending.
• Don't try to do everything yourself. I let my husband our children lend a hand whenever possible. The older enjoy helping me cook, while the little ones are happy to set and clear off the table.
