school lunches
The first day of school is in just a few days, which means earlier mornings, the school bus and packing lunches.
I don’t know what it is, but by week two, I run out of creative ideas for the lunchbox. #1 ate pb&j, baby carrots, apple slices and a fruit leather pretty much every single day last year and I refuse to do that to him again.
I did a little searching for some good alternatives to the default lunch and I hit the jackpot.
Laptop Lunches is a company that sells bento boxes {I should probably order a few for my kids}, but the best part is the menu tab with 365 lunch ideas. Here are just a few:
Don’t those look yummy? And pretty easy to make too. You can see all of the ideas here. I should just print these pictures and tape them to my pantry door.
One thing I do like about packing lunches is being able to slip in a note to my little darlings.
I created an assortment of lunch box note cards a few years ago which work great for a quick lunch box note.
In honor of back to school, I am offering these note cards as a free download.

this is fantastic!!! I loved the little preview of lunch ideas. I am sitting here with my 10yr old figuring out some yummy choices for the grocery list. Only one problem….this site seems to be down or unaccessible right now.
I’ll try again later, and hopefully we have a few ideas to hold us over for when it’s viewable again.
The notecards are adorable. thank you!

Thank you so much for the free printables! I am sure you have gone over this before but what round labels do you use and how do you format them for Illustrator? It seems all the Avery label templates only work in Word. Just wondering…

This is so wonderful. I am so excited to have a family and to add special little touches to everyday things and this is one that I will be filing away for sure!
Thank you Emily for your thoughtfulness, you are a blessing to many!

You are so very creative! I love the cute note cards, but I wasn’t able to download them. Do you think you could send me email me the file? Thanks!
