Wonder Pets Lunch with CuteZCute

My daughter loves the Wonder Pets - especially Linny, the Guinea Pig. I have been trying to create a Linny lunch for her (with little success...who knew making a guinea pig was so hard!) and finally realized that I can use the CuteZCute Cuddle Palz hamster. I surprised her with a Linny Lunch this morning and she loved it:

I packed our Easylunchbox with:

• cherry yogurt with bear sprinkles
• a small apple
• and a peanut butter CuteZCute Cuddle Palz Linny with Pomegranate Bonga Baobab Superfruit chew accents (you can mold the fruit chews to make the cape!) rescuing a baby monkey

The fruit chews are not only delicious but you can also mold them into fun accents for lunch or pastries!

Cuddle Palz on Vacation

We have not been packing many lunches since we have been on vacation but once my new Cuddle Palz cutter from CuteZCute arrived I could not resist packing a quick vacation themed lunch for the kids!

How cute is this little sightseeing tiger? Adorable right? I found this idea on the CuteZCute page and could not resist. 

We packed our Easylunchboxes with a simple lunch of:

• cherries
• carrot sticks
• and a CuteZCute Cuddle Palz Cheese sandwich tiger.

Polar Bear Bento Box Lunch

We just got this adorable polar bear bento box from All Things For Sale and I already love it since it has a gel filled lid you can freeze over night - no ice pack needed! We took full advantage and packed home made hummus with carrots and celery for lunch! 

Everything fit perfectly into our Fluf lunch bag (don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE) and we also packed a MyColdCup thermal container with ice water, a yogurt and another container with:

• Goldfish crackers, 
• a CuteZCute Panda sandwich, 
• a mini cereal bar 
• and a few orange slices.

Simple CuteZCute Lunch

The last two mornings have been so hectic that there was little time for creative lunches. Another reminder to myself that packing lunch at night will make your morning that much calmer ;)

But thanks to Easylunchboxes, our trusted quick and easy CuteZCute Sandwich Cutter and of course Lunchbox Love Cards - lunch was still fun!

Lunch is simple today:

• Goldfish crackers
• 1/2 an apple sprinkled with Fruit Fresh to keep from browning
• two Salami Frog CuteZCute sandwiches
• and an ecouraging Lunchbox Love Card!

• a tangerine pumpkin

Quick Lunches

Time was not on my side this morning and we had to make lunches fast.
Everyone was helping and instead of the lunches I had planned we ended up with a quick Panda and a quick lamb lunch on the fly.

We packed CuteZCute Panda sandwiches for my 5th grader in our Easylunchboxes with sunflower seed crackers, carrots and celery with ranch dressing (in the panda cup) and popcorn. I also packed ice water and a frozen Chobani Blueberry tube (not pictured).

My second grader packed a half a Fun to Eat Fruit Apple, popcorn (can you see the peek-a-boo lamb?), a peanut butter sandwich with a sheep ring and a granola bar fence. He also has ice water and a frozen Chobani tube. We also added some extra love with a Lunchbox Love Card :)

Go Green Lunch Box Review

The wonderful folks at Go Green Lunch Box sent me a Go Green Lunch Box to review and I packed a couple of lunches to see how we like it:

Today's lunch is an CuteZCute Angry Bird Pig chocolate spread sandwich, Angry Bird crackers with a cheese stick, a cereal bar, sunflower seeds and some fruit snacks and a yogurt as well as a bottle of ice water. 

I also packed a lunch around Halloween containing a pretzel roll with cold cuts, cheese and lettuce, a cereal bar, cheese and crackers, oranges and apples and a vanilla yogurt as well as ice water.

The first thing I noticed packing the lunchbox is that it has very deep compartments and you can fit a lot of food - which is perfect especially for my 5th Grader. I also liked right away that there was a space for the water bottle and that the bottle is stainless steel.

My boys really like the cool carrying case and even though it is not washable so far we had no issues since the lunch box is leak proof.

I really liked that it comes with a name tag since things do get lost and this tag matches the carrying bag!

Another neat feature is the little white board in the lid of the carrying bag. You can write your child a sweet note and have enough room to include a spoon, straw or napkin.

Also perfect for lunch notes!

My older kids really liked the wide mouth water bottle and I liked how easy it was to add ice. However for the little kids (3 and 5) it was hard to drink out of and I switched out the water bottle with one with a spout for now until they get a little bigger.

There are so many great features this lunchbox offers like the secure leak proof lid, the turn 'n' lock technology that keeps food fresh and the retention clips that help keep the lid attached to the lunch box. 

{Pros:}

• Lots of compartments
• leak proof lid which makes packing yogurt and applesauce a no mess affair
• retention clips to keep the lid attached to the lunch box
• a 9 oz stainless steel water bottle
• a whiteboard for leaving notes
• a insulated cooler bag 
• that it is BPA, lead, leach and phthalate free

{Cons:}

• I would love to have the option to buy a water bottle with a spout for younger kids. This can be easily solved however by swapping out water bottles until they are older.
• The lid is not dishwasher safe and you have to remove the silicone bands when washing. It does not take long however and since I wash several lunch items by hand I do not mind.
