School Lunches from Home

If you prepare your own school lunch to send with your little ones in those "super cool" lunch boxes but, like us, you don't want to worry about it daily, here is a simple list to attach to the inside of your kitchen cabinet or pantry door. One colum for the food choices, the other for what to buy.

Having it available takes away the guessing game and makes preparing lunch a lot easier. It also allow your children to pick what they want, from the choices that are given. Feel free to include options your kids like, since our list still limited to the taste of my kids.

Most of all, have fun with it! Get the kids with you to the supermarket, if possible, create a "lunch" drawer with their goodies and let them help you as much as possible. It fosters independence and making good choices!

I hope you had a wonderful summer!

Always grateful,
