Rover Fun Lunches


Today is the first day back after Spring break. Normally, my kids would be sad to leave vacation behind and head back to school but today they are just a little bit excited. Planetbox generously sent us two Rover lunchboxes and my kids cannot wait to take them to school today.

Monbento for Mama: Egg Avocado Sandwich


Monbento for Mama is back after Spring Break! We had a wonderful week and a lovely weekend and after enjoying many treats, I need to get back to eating better! I grabbed our Monbento Tresor for lunch today since it is a little bit smaller than my Monbento Original. It also has two separate containers which worked perfectly for today's lunch.

Packed for lunch in our Monbento Tresor are:
  • a delicious Egg Avocado sandwich (I simply seasoned it with sea salt and pepper. No need for mayonaisse or any other spread) on whole wheat bread
  • plain yogurt swirled with honey
  • granola with a few blueberries

Happy Easter!


One more day until the Easter festivities start. My kids are so excited and are helping with the traditional carrot cake and Easter bread baking in the kitchen. To keep them happy, I packed lunches this morning, so they can eat when they are hungry.

Night Owl and Early Bird - a Literary Lunch


This lunch is also posted over at The Little Crooked Cottage as a Literary Lunch. Head over to the fabulous blog of four children's book authors and check out the wonderful Literary Interviews with Mr. Pig himself! 


It's #LiteraryLunch time! Today with EARLY BIRD and NIGHT OWL by Toni Yuly - mamabelly.com

Meet Early Bird and Night Owl, the wonderful stars of Toni Yuly's books. Early Bird likes to get up early and Night Owl loves to stay up late. Both books are beautifully illustrated with bright colors and clean shapes.

Early Bird tells the story of the search for breakfast early in the morning while emphasizing action words.

Night Owl, on the other side, emphasizes sound words and listening skills while telling the tales of one owl at night. No matter if your little one is an early Bird or Night Owl, they will surely enjoy these books!
