Kids Making Dinner: An Inspiring Tradition From Boston

The first day we spent in Boston was with my cousin, Lisa and her family.

Boyce Family

The Boyce Family on the Old North Bridge in Concord

They were so awesome to us! As they drove us all over the place that day, they informed us, that for a couple hours of the afternoon their children were going to prepare the dinner for all of us. Of course, I was immediately intrigued.

Lisa told me that a couple years previous, her husband had expressed the desire to have company for dinner on Sunday nights. With him traveling often, she responded that if it were going to happen, the kids would need to do the dinner, and he would need to clean up. Like me, Lisa also has 6 kids, and knew she couldn’t run the whole show herself 7 days a week with no break. So they started this tradition of their kids all making the dinner each Sunday.
