• Fresh & Healthy: Lunch Box Meals

    1 Cool Kid + 1 Yummy Lunch = 2 Much Fun

    The chalk board on the inside of the lunch boxes has been a huge hit with the girls.  Most days when they take these lunch boxes to school they cannot wait until lunch time to check out their chalk drawing or message.  Every once in awhile the girls will get a special treat in their lunch boxes.  Today they got a Lunchable and a variety of vegetables with ranch dip.

    Something “special” in the lunch today!

     Lunch Box Meal:

    • Chicken Nugget Lunchable
    • Fresh Banana
    • Fresh Carrots
    • Fresh Cherry Tomatoes
    • Fresh Celery
    • Ranch Veggie Dip
    • Mozzarella Cheesestick
    • Fresh Popcorn
    • Chocolate Mint Swirl Marshmallows
    • Sunrise Juice Bag

    Lunch is packed and ready to go!

    The girls love taking their lunches to school.  I like that the girls get a few extra minutes at lunch to eat since they take their lunches to school.  It is nice having not only their lunch but a snack already packed so they can eat on the way to the after school activities.

  • Fresh & Healthy: First Day of School Lunch Box Meals

    Karlie and Brina’s lunch for the first day of school

    Another school year has started…..we had a blast this summer.  Their school lunch boxes are metal with a chalkboard on the inside so I can write them a message.  For the first day I wrote “Happy First Day of School Brina & Karlie. We love you!”  The girls pack a lunch Monday through Thursday on Friday they eat their lunch at school as a special treat.  Most days the girls pack their own lunches but with the first week being so busy I got them started until they adjust to the new schedule.  Each day they get a protein, fruit, vegetable, dairy, drink, and snack (sometimes I will through in an extra snack or treat if I know we have activities after school).

    Karlie’s lunch box has a shiny red race car with her name on the car and tracks

    Brina’s lunch box is covered in hearts and her favorite colors (orange and pink)!

    Each lunch box has their design and names on both the font and back as well as the sides (see picture at bottom for the side view).  The lunch boxes were a “surprise” for the girls.  They were thrilled to get these to use for school.  I was pleased with how they turned out too.
