How’s your week going? I have been running a bit ragged lately. I keep telling myself, “once I get through this week I’ll be happy.” Then I find that I’m just a busy the next week. Right now I’m writing this with my sewing machine in front of me while working on some costumes for …
Some fun things are coming up this week…Pi Day is Friday. Who’s going to try and slip some pie into their kids’ lunch? Then Monday is St. Patrick’s Day! I’m already plotting what I’ll be doing for lunches that day. Here’s a look at what I packed last week for the kids’ school lunches. Monday: …
This past weekend we had some great family time, including our Disney Frozen Party Dinner. The weekends always seem to fly by, and soon it’s Monday and I’m back into lunch packing mode.

Hello to the end of February! I really can’t believe how fast the time is flying by. Does anyone else feel like time goes by faster as they’re aging? Is this a side effect of motherhood and marriage? Tuesday: cream cheese & turkey tortilla rollup, sunflower seeds, carrots, mandarin orange [Items used: Rubbermaid LunchBlox Kid’s Tall …
Back to another week of lunches. It’s become such a habit that it really isn’t that much of a chore! My hubby did a great job making the girls their lunches last week, but I’m sure he’s happy to have me back at home to take over. I’ve realized that as long as I have …
Sometimes you see food ideas on Pinterest and blogs that look too perfect for the average person to recreate in everyday life. Well, I had the perfect opportunity to put one of these ideas to the test the last couple weeks. You see, my wife is normally the one who gets our girls’ school lunches …
Another week in the books. I’m actually in Africa right now, but these are the lunches I made before I left. My hubby is on lunch duty while I’m away, so I won’t have any photos next week. Week 20 Kids School Lunches Monday: GoPicnic Ready-to-Eat Meals Turkey Slices & Cheddar (nut free!), carrots & cucumbers …
It’s Christmas Eve! I’m busy wrapping and planning for our big day tomorrow. Our family will also be heading to church for a Candlelight service this evening. Here are the three lunches I made last week (week 16 – oops wrong number on photo & link) for my girls. We actually had a snow day …
It’s one week until Christmas! This is my absolute favorite holiday. I really love the whole atmosphere that surrounds Christmas and the excitement of the season. My hubby and I are busy creating a special handmade gift for each of the girls this year. He’s finished his part but my part of the gifts is …
So exciting to start taking my lunch pictures on some Christmas background. Seems like I was just doing Thanksgiving. I realized that when I calculated my the “40 weeks” of Nut-Free School Lunches, I hadn’t planned for school breaks. I guess I’ll have to think of something fun or interesting to post when I don’t …
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We had my mother and sister-in-law visit for Thanksgiving, and I managed to cook a meal for 6 of us without any major issues. Did you see the Welcome Basket of House Guest Gifts I made for my sister-in-law? The girls had a short week of school, so …
Hi again! Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? I was shocked at how many people posted photos on facebook and instagram of Christmas decorations being done this past weekend. I love Christmas, so I loved seeing all the trees and lights. We buy real trees so we can’t set up early. Hopefully we’ll go cut …
