I posted recently a HUGE round up post of Lunch Box ideas that I used all of last school year when packing Kye's lunch. Britt felt very left out at the start of this school year. Kye got both a new book bag and lunch box for school and Tess required a book bag for her class as well. In Britt's age class they use tote bags which just aren't as fun and because her school is only half a day, she didn't need a lunch box either. I was over the moon thrilled when Personal Creations reached out to me and offered to send us a free lunchbox! Britt got to go through their awesome collection of choices and choose the one she liked best. My sweet girl picked herself out a yummy cupcake design and they personalized it with her name! SO CUTE and awesome quality! Britt's school has a monthly event called "Lunch Bunch" where you can pay and the kids can stay an extra hour to eat lunch with their friends.

Kye is at 4 year old pre-k this year but still gets home in time for lunch and naps. Britt and I spend the morning together just the two of us and go pick up Kye at noon when school gets out. This creates a bit of an issue because ideally my kids would be eating lunch ...
I have always tried to feed my kids rather healthy. No, we don't do all organic. No, I don't have a garden at home. No, I don't feed them a "clean eating" type diet. But I do my personal best. I buy organic when possible (we do all organic milk for sure). I try to feed them colorful foods at each meal. I limit sweets and processed foods as much as I can. We mostly eat all of our meals at home and I try to offer a variety of things at each meal. Kye is turning four this coming week and has EVER only had plain white milk, water, or juice (our version of juice is v8 fushion mixed with naked juice green machine and water) and an occasional cup of lemonade or some other party punch or juice box and hot cocoa like three times ever. No chocolate milk, no sweet tea, never even one single sip of soda. While I do GREAT at limiting the junk he eats, I don't do as well with getting him TO eat the healthy stuff.
