Grocery Shopping with Kids ... Just Got Easier

We received the Farmers Market Bag for Kids for free from BKYKid.com to review. No other compensation was received.

Grocery shopping hasn't always been my most favorite task in this homemaking journey. Most of the time I didn't know what to purchase.  This caused me anxiety, but coupling this with having two girls in tow certainly didn't help. 

When I realized that grocery shopping with the girls would be hard for me in their younger years, my husband suggested that I involved them in the process.  I heard his suggestion, but I couldn't take it because, honestly,  I just wanted to get in and out.  I didn't want to take the time to come up with a game plan for grocery shopping.  Shoot, I hardly was taking the time to write out a grocery list that made sense to me.  Oh, how I am thankful that this area of my life has gotten a ton better and not simply because the girls are older, but because I now have a game plan for grocery shopping.

I've found the Farmers Market tote just as helpful even when the girls aren't with me.  I still make some grocery runs by myself.  I like using it when I am not picking up too many items because I can use it instead of a shopping cart.  So far, I haven't gotten in trouble for placing items inside of it instead of a shopping cart. :)  Of course, it is the perfect companion at your local farmers' market.
