Where has this been all my life, I definitely need this for my fridge, with Hubby and myself working, and one kiddo in kindergarten, Luckily one is only 4 months old so packing for him is easy. I need this so badly, might save us major money, and even give us better healthy choices, only so many times you can do eating out a week at work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-46938899256092528712014-07-16T21:24:45.133-05:002014-07-16T21:24:45.133-05:00awwww so delicious <3awwww so delicious <3Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-72382645414349380972014-06-04T18:24:45.259-05:002014-06-04T18:24:45.259-05:00What an intelligent way to handle your daughter...What an intelligent way to handle your daughter's difficulty!

On the notes I include the following... date, what happened today in history or an interesting fact, a joke, and a place for a personal note from me. Now, why do I put all this? My daughter was being "bullied" about her lunches. Certain students would tease her about why she brought "ol d lady foods in her lunch." (As silly as it sounds, it became embarrassing for my daughter to bring the foods she enjoyed most- salads, baked potatoes, homemade soups, etc.) I began putting the jokes and factoids on notes so she would have something interesting to tell the kids or jokes to break the ice. Now... the other kids could care less about the "gross" food in her lunch, but focus more on the "joke of the day" or the new cool fact she can tell them. Thus far, I have not had any trouble finding "new material." Guess I will cross that bridge when I get there. In closing, not only is the note providing entertainment to her and classmates, but, its also educational. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565008296732589840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-7135813886612324932013-12-16T13:33:50.859-06:002013-12-16T13:33:50.859-06:00I have been doing love notes since my daughter was...I have been doing love notes since my daughter was in kindergarten.

I love it! I plan out the lunches on Sunday & portion them out for the week in individual containers. My son has used a "no waste" lunch box since 1st grade. We use Tupperware & Rubbermaid, even his spoon for his applesauce is reused. It's a plastic disposable spoon because I don't want to send my good flatware to school with him but we still wash & reuse it. Over 5 years, we've only managed to lose 3 lids to my Tupperware. I love this no waste, easily packed lunch system. AND I have even managed to teach my son to come home & immediately put the containers in the dishwasher!!! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623114190154632628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-61113879622845808672012-12-29T04:57:52.206-06:002012-12-29T04:57:52.206-06:00Thіs web site ceгtainly has all of the іnfοrmatіоn...Thіs web site ceгtainly has all of the іnfοrmatіоn and facts I <br />neeԁed about this subject and didn't know who to ask.<br /><br />Feel free to surf to my web blog ... <a href="http://www.easylunchideas.org" rel="nofollow">Http://Www.easylunchideas.org</a><br /><i>Also visit my web site</i> ... <b><a href="http://www.easylunchideas.org" rel="nofollow"></a></b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-55083004363353152662012-12-28T18:08:47.367-06:002012-12-28T18:08:47.367-06:00Ridiculous quest there.

My husband says...Best idea ever!! As soon as I get home from the grocery store, I wash up my grapes & strawberries and package'em up in little snack bags (I do the same for Cheez-it's and other cereal items). This way when my kids come home from school, they grab a snack bag and it TOTALLY saves time in the morning if they want to pack their lunch (as well as for me because I pack my lunch and a lunch for my husband). Easy Breezey!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!<br />PS.. my co-worker does it for her little 2yr old as well!!
