I’m not the mom who makes beautiful bento box lunches for her kids though I fantasize about that. I am usually the one scrambling in the morning to pack lunch for my son who is the last to go to school. My teen girls are up and out of the house before I am awake (thanks hubby!), and they pack their own lunch.
It’s not surprising then that Valentine’s Day has passed and even Chinese New Year and I didn’t do anything special for my kids. I’ve decided that 1) it’s never too late and 2) baby steps.
I’m on Flipagram (@Mia Wenjen) and I’ve been following Ryoko Yunoki who makes these beautiful bento box lunches for herself. I’ve taken the baby steps of ordering wooden bento boxes but I haven’t attempted to pack them yet. Baby steps.
I’ve always loved the idea of lunch box love notes, but again, haven’t packed any in my kids’ lunch boxes. Well, today is a good day to start! I created some joke lunch box love notes because my 5th grade son usually comes home with a corny joke he learns from his lunch room attendant. I hope he likes these!

For my teen girls, they love Horizon Classic Mac. Just stocking it in the house makes them happy. They actually know how to make it themselves but if I were really good, I’d get up early and make it for them. I’d even mold it into a heart shape. Alas, I am not a morning person!Quesadillas and grilled cheese sandwiches are also highly requested by my kids. These Horizon Organic Cheese packages will make it a snap! And I might even cut them out in fancy heart shapes!
How about you? Do you have time to include extra lunch time love? How do you manage that? Do share your secrets with me! Thank you!
