Ottawa giveaway alert: easy litterless lunches from terra20
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews
As much as we have enjoyed our summer, I have to admit that we are all getting pretty excited about going back to school here at Casa Fishbowl. The girls are looking forward to seeing their friends and I am looking forward to my old routines again.
I am happy to say that one of the things that doesn’t stress me out so much anymore this time of year is the whole PACKING LUNCHES thing. I can pinpoint how this eventually came about:
1) The girls have been packing their own lunches since they were old enough to wield a butter knife. As long as I have groceries on hand, they know what to make. Also, what helped is a list of lunch ideas stuck to the fridge that THEY help create. This way, no one was stumped in regards to what to make and bring.
2) I got over the fact their lunches weren’t exactly Pinterest-worthy. Heck, if they wanted to eat the same thing every day (ham sandwich, apple, goldfish crackers) that’s fine by me!
3) I discovered a few good lunch containers that suited our needs perfectly (read: no leaking, spilling, lost lids etc.) and the kids were excited about bringing to school (and take care not to lose)!
Sidebar: Getting the kids involved in the decision-making process is always a good idea. Whether you’re discussing goldfish crackers v. rice crackers, or containers with green lids or pink lids, asking your kids what they would like will make them feel more involved and more likely to take ownership of the process.
4) I PUT LABELS ON EVERYTHING. Trust me on this.
I didn’t snap this photo, but these two young ladies wanted to show you what they liked best in terms of lunch gear at terra20 (you know, in case you were looking for ideas):
