Looking for inspiration as you are packing those back to school lunchboxes?! As a mom of six- 5 in school now- I know packing lunches can feel like a never-ending job, especially if you have a picky eater! Some mornings, I’m throwing things together half-asleep with a baby on my hip—other mornings, I have time to get a little more creative. And if I’m really prepared, lunches are packed the night before! BIG WIN! Either way, having the right tools and helpful ideas makes it so much easier.
That’s why I love our Bentgo lunch boxes (Amazon link below 👇). They’ve saved me so much time, cut down on plastic bag waste, and honestly just make lunches feel a little more fun for the kids.
