Today we are starting our new meal plan. I have written before about how I plan my meals out weeks in advance and do bulk grocery shopping. Well, we are still doing that, but now we are buying a little more. We will be sharing meals with Mark's parents every night.
They don't get home from work until 5:30 at the earliest, so it is hard to put something together quick and it is hard to prepare things ahead of time. And really, they eat over here at least once or twice a week anyhow;)
So, I will be doing all the cooking, they will stop at our house on their way home from work and have dinner. They will also pay for a portion of the grocery bill.
I thought at first what a great way to save on money and food waste. But, really I think it will be great for the kids as well. Having their grandparents over at meal times is a very good thing to grow up with.
I always say how kids are raised by a family or community...not just the parents. So, I am glad for the opportunity to keep them close to their "extended" family. Especially at meal times!
