Join me tomorrow for our last day of Lunchbox BONANZA! You’ll find lots of ideas on “The Good” and “The Bad” of Lunchboxes as well as packaging ideas that will make your child HAPPY! 🙂
This has been such a great feature this week! As one who would rather skip meals than think about what to pack myself for lunch each day, I’m grateful for your creative ideas. I know you’ll still be the one packing lunches for our little buddy every day (for obvious reasons), but if I was ever responsible for it, I’d have a print out of this blog series super glued to the fridge.
Love you,
Ryan
