I thought I would go straight to the source so I asked B the other day, “What could I do to make your lunch more fun?” His response: “How about if you put THREE cookies in my lunch instead of two?!?!” Yeah. So apparently fun shaped sandwiches and happy little notes aren’t really his thing…
Healthy Lunch & Awesome Sauce
I try to keep the kids’ lunches pretty healthy. But I almost always still include some sort of treat. I’m not sure if they eat it first or last, since I am not there to watch them chow down, but all of the food is usually gone so I’m guessing they totally eat the wonderful…
Last First Day
We missed “meeting” her teacher, even though she is the SIL of someone that works with Tim and we already know her. I did not go to orientation for the school because one or two of my kids have been going there since we moved here. So, she and I waltzed into her new schoolroom…
Lazoo For You! {review & giveaway}
So, this one time at BlogHer… I was standing in line to use the little girl’s room and I started talking to this nice lady from Utah. I mean, we had plenty o’TIME to chat, people. And she was so nice. And then another nice lady behind us starting talking to us too and mentioned…
Hello?!?
Hey!! Tap. Tap. Is this thing on? Wow, I feel like a week of my life was stolen from me. Seriously. At least I conserved make-up. 🙂 For a day or so I was in and out of consciousness while wearing a sweatshirt and fuzzy socks, at the end of August in south Louisiana (completely unheard of…
School Lunch Reboot!
I am used to packing 3 lunches a few days a week but now I am definitely packing two lunches every day for my boys since G started Kindergarten this year! (and no, my kids do NOT eat the school “hot” lunch, by their own choice, which is fine withe me.) In years past I…
When an almost three-year-old reads…
Someone I know that lives in this house and is short and naturally blond and female likes books a lot lately. She takes them into bed with her before nap and bed time at night. She “reads” them while TRYING to go potty (oh Lord help me…) She makes up her own stories from the…
Kindergarten! GO!
I probably woke up late because subconsciously I was not ready for this. I laid there while Tim readied himself for work all around me and the light from our bedroom window became more and more. But still, I did not rise. When I finally lifted my tired body from the bed and sauntered into…
Beyond Bologna: A Creative Back to School Lunch Challenge
My boys have already started school! And with everything I had to worry about to get my kids ready for the first day, it’s hard to also find time to get all creative in the kitchen. And, let’s face it, lunch is one of THE most important parts of the school day. So, in an…
This post sponsored by the letter “K”
I’m a little nervous about Gavin starting school next week. And by the way, a little means a lot. I do not feel like he is as prepared as he should be. In so many ways. But I am trying to have faith that he is more prepared than I think. The other night we…
