An New Phase in my Life as a Mom...


Packed Lunch! I have a thing against Hot Lunch in the schools. Personally I think it is one of the causes of childhood obesity. I know the schools do all they can, but it just doesnt measure up to what a mama can pack. (please ignore the candy bar in the picture ;) I did tell her she could choose one hot lunch a week. I was afraid she would feel left out from the vast majority that eats hot lunch at our school. But so far she hasnt asked....so i wont remind her.

Right there with you! So glad that I decided to do the packed lunch thing. Especially on the day that they had spagetti at school and all the other kids were covered in it!:) And good news is that I haven't forgotten yet!:)

I caught a whiff of the school lunch aroma from RH yesterday and it smells exactly like it did when I went to elementary school! I wonder what their secret ingredient is?! Cute lunchbox-cooler!

Yum that looks like a good lunch.
I am sure I will be the same way about hot lunches when my girls are in school. Weiner Wink anyone?

Ok... from a school employee... I have to tell you, lunches have changed a little. :-) SOME OF THEM! Weiner Wrap day is FAMOUS among the staff... they are soo soo good! The bread is like homemade bread. The other day I will each lunch is spaghetti day... it is kinda good! But... I, too, am packing lunches.

I was always jealous of the kids who got "cold" lunch. But for some bazarr reason Patrick Foreman always traded his twinkie for my green beans. Weird-o
Dear Patrick,
If you've just googled your name and this comment came up.....I'm truly, deeply sorry. I am sure that you are a much healthier person due to my green beans and you're welcome.

Rebecca you CRACK me up!

Yeah! It's so MAMA to be packing lunches, huh? Some of our faves are mini PBJs between 2 mini pancakes, bagel and cream cheese, homemade uncrustables (Pampered chef sells the tool), lunch meat wrapped around a cheese stick. Happy lunch packing!

weiner wrap day rocks... but nothing beats a cold lunch packed by mom. (especially the candy bar)
You going to throw a little "I love you note" in once in a while?... 1st graders LOVE that!
