There is a Monster in my Lunch!

Mondays are never easy in our house and it is hard to let go of the weekend fun and go back to school. A little fun is always appreciated when it comes to making Mondays a little cheerier.
My friend Karen from What's In Our Lunch Bags recently sent us this adorable lunch system (thank you, Karen!) and today was perfect for a monster lunch!

My first grader picked his monster and I filled it with apples and yellow peppers divided by wax paper, a cereal bar, half a cream cheese bagel and some organic popcorn and a left over brownie from yesterday. He also packed a yogurt and some ice water.

Who wouldn't like to find a monster in their lunch?

Happy Monday!

Happy Friday!

We had quite a busy week and I am very thankful it is Friday. I am sure the kids feel the same and I wanted to pack them as fun end of the week lunch to brighten their day at school!

We packed our Easylunchboxes with yellow peppers and carrots, Pirate Booty, strawberries, a tangerine with a happy face, a sandwich wrapped in wax paper (so it won't get soggy since the strawberries are in the same compartment) and as a special treat a Milkini chocolate bar from Germany!

My oldest son also needed snack today and we packed his in our Lunchbot Trio: Carrots and yellow peppers on lettuce, crackers, half a coconut cereal bar and some American Cheese.

Have a wondeerful weekend!

Four simple lunches in under 20 minutes

We did not have much time this morning to pack lunches. To be exact: we had 20 min. And I wanted to show you that even with only 20 min I was able to pack 4 healthy and fun school lunches and get us all out the door.

Lunch for my second grader is packed in his Easylunchbox and contains a mini apple, some strawberries, a puzzle shaped peanut butter sandwich and steamed snow peas. He also packed a yogurt and ice water.

My fifth grader packed a mini apple and strawberries as well, a half a whole grain bagel with cream cheese, steamed snow peas and a small puzzle peanut butter sandwich. He also packed yogurt and ice water and two snacks since he has a long day today.

My first grader is bringing a mini apple and strawberries, a half a whole grain cream cheese bagel, a cereal bar and steamed snow peas. He also packed ice water.

I also packed our yumbox for my 4 year old daughter since we had a doctor's appointment that was further away today. I packed her steamed snow peas, two puzzle peanut butter sandwiches, Annie's bunny cookies, apples, a Hershey kiss and also some strawberries.

Even with just 20 min to spare we managed to pack lunch for everyone :)

This is what I used for these lunches:

                     

A wormy lunch

The wonderful people from Fun To Eat Fruit send us a surprise package last week and my kids were so excited to get more fun apples in the mail!

They sent us two of their new designs (stay tuned for more fun to come) and today we packed lunch with a worm - literally.

We packed half a Granny Smith Fun to Eat Fruit apple with a cute worm design, Pirate Booty and a peanut butter sandwich with a gummy worm in our Easylunchboxes.

And the other half of the apple was packed for snack in our Lunchbot Trio with Somersault sunflower seed crackers and more Pirate Booty.

Easy Easter Toddler Lunch

A quick post for a quick and easy Easter Toddler lunch!

We made had a busy day and I made my daughter a quick lunch to go. We packed cheese sandwiches shaped like Easter eggs and Easter chicks with help of the cute plungers below, and also had apples, a cereal bar and bunny shaped chocolate chips.

This lunch was made with the following:



Easter Lunches

Today is the last day of school before spring break and I made the kids special lunches for the occasion! I am also reading to my son's class about the Spring Equinox and cultures all over celebrating the beginning of spring. I made them Easter themed lunches since we will be celebrating Easter next week :)

We packed a celery and carrot garden, oranges and two shaped peanut butter pockets.

I also found a sweet Lunchbox Love Card to match our Easter theme!

The other lunch we packed were a left over cinnamon roll, oranges and two oven baked pancakes. They also packed a mini dipper with syrup and a Chobani Champions Banana Honey yogurt. Easter breakfast in Easylunchboxes!

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 :)
