Avery goes to "school" 2 days a week. We have to send lunch for her. At first I was a little nervous about packing her lunch. I mean, what do you pack for a 2 year old? Sometimes she eats everything, most of the time she eats a little bit of a lot of things. My girlfriend Bobbi, mother of one of the cutest 4 year olds I know turned me on to one of the cutest blogs. It's called Another Lunch. Melissa, the blogger, is a stay at home mom to 4 little ones. She packs bento-style lunches for her kids. Have you heard of bento? Bento is a japenese word for ready-to-eat lunch in a box. The style promotes less waste (no little baggies or packages to throw away). I was intrigued and thought, "Eh, I'll think about that when Avery starts going to school." I checked in with Another Lunch pretty regularly though because her lunches were just so dang cute!
And then it hit me! What a minute genius! Avery IS in school. And what does she have to take? A lunch. So I tried my hand at packing her a bento lunch with the supplies I had on hand.
This is my second attempt.
From left to rightt:
Grapes, Cheese Its, Turkey & Cheese heart shaped sandwich, Go-gurt yogurt in a plastic container I had, semi-sweet chocolate chips in a muffin liner.
I am really enjoying packing Avery's lunch. I have been trying to be more creative (yay! another creative outlet) and have put a few supplies on her Christmas list. I mean, she wants lunch supplies for Christmas right? Right?!
I don't know if Avery eats a thing of what I pack for her but at least it's all packed in a cute little container!
