I’ve made a bucket list of things I want to do by age 35. On that list are the following:
- Run a marathon (currently training)
- Write a novel (okay, that one might not happen)
- Do no housework at all (that one is DEFINITELY going to happen)
I am so over housework, you guys. Over it. And right now, the kids do pretty much everything, except ironing and cooking. So today I’m sharing some tips on how to teach kids to cook that I’ve been using. They work!
Today is also another edition of the Laugh and Learn linky! We had a blast last week and we’d love to see your newest parenting, lifestyle, and homeschooling posts!
How to Teach Kids to Cook
It’s been hard for me to let my kids into my kitchen. Let’s be honest: They spill things. They drop things. And they occasionally…shudder…break things. But those things happen to all aspiring cooks and they’ll never get any better unless they practice!
So we’ve taught Tigger to cook several meals and we’re starting with our boys as well. Head over to Thinking Outside the Sandbox to see how we’re doing it!

For a look at one of our first baking experiences, check out our post How to Teach Kids to Bake!
And don’t forget our awesome list of great children’s cookbooks!
Onward to the linky!
This week we have some great links to share with you. We are very excited to bring you another great opportunity to linkup with us!
Welcome to our 70th week of Laugh and Learn – Home & Family Linkup! Laugh and Learn Linkup will be open by 6 am every Tuesday morning.
New: We have decided to expand our linkup to home and family categories! You are still welcome to share homeschooling or parenting posts with us. That will always be part of the #LaughLearnLinkup!
Each and every week, all of the hosts will pick one favorite post to be featured on the next week’s linkup. All of your links will be shared on three blogs.
We are also sharing the top four posts on Pinterest: #LaughLearnLinkup {Featured Favorites}. It’s added exposure for your awesome content!
Reminder: Please share this linkup! You can help us build a great family, home, parenting, and homeschool group.
Laugh and Learn Linkup was created by Tina from Los Gringos Locos. We want to thank her for this opportunity and send her big hug on her new adventure.

Confession: I hate making a mess with the kids. I always dread the cleanup. But these art activities look so fun, even I might try them!
