Lunchtime

Today, all three of my kids happily hopped (well, one drug his heels) onto the bus and went to that magical place called "school."

My oldest began middle school today and will pack her lunch, while my younger two love the hot lunch.

Last week, Lindsey Nair posted on her Fridge Magnet blog about packed lunches and a few moms threw their two-cents in.

I've decided we all need a little help or guidance, so I found this website with nutritious tips and safe food handling procedures. I may print this for my sixth-grader to read as she insists on packing her own lunch.

I've also found the Amazing Mom's website to be... well, amazing. Here is the page you want to check out. There are a few creative ideas to keep your kids healthy. My favorite has to be the Cookie Dipper.

Finally, I've stumbled upon something for those really, really adventurous kids and parents. They're called Bento Boxes and they make me wish I were back in school. Check these out here.
