My kids brown bag it to lunch at school more often than not. Well, maybe not in a true brown bag since that wouldn't be nearly as cool as the colorful or character lunch boxes they take these days. And they're not really even boxes...they're more like rectangular shaped carriers made out of some strong fabric material. But whatever you call them, they serve the purpose of transporting their lunches to school on days they choose not to buy.

My goal is to have a little part of me go in each of these lunch boxes - a little snippet of Daddy. A little laughter, a little cleverness, a little inside joke, a little rhyming...and a ton of love. I want my kids to be reminded every time they open their lunch at school how much they mean to me. How much I love them. And maybe be a little entertained in the process.

So every lunch I make has notes in the lunch box. You should try it too! Feel free to use any of the notes you see in this blog in your own kids' lunches. Or use them to be inspired to write your own.

Don't forget the SAP

Jokes and poems are always great for notes in a lunch box, but you should also use the opportunity to just plain pour on the sap.  Kids like this stuff when they're young...and your opportunities to really pour it on diminish as they get older as they could get more embarrassed and less receptive to it.  So once in a while, throw in a note like this:




Simple and to the point, and very reassuring to your child.  Gives them a warm fuzzy.  I don't do this kind of note everyday since then it would lose its potency, but once in a while it's good.
