Lunch Packer – Russbe Bags {Giveaway!}

September 15, 2014 by Elaine

Packing lunches is one of my morning tasks.  I pack in the morning because I like everything to be freshly placed in the kids’ lunchboxes the same day.  Also, I just do not really want to do it the night before.  By the end of the day, I’m done. But I find a certain pleasure…
