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.

The lessor of two GOODS!



You have to love winter time if you're a kid in grade school.  Snow days are a thing of pure joy, and 2-hour delays are almost as good.  This note was written the night before a scheduled early release day for my girls.  There was plenty of snow and ice on the ground - not enough for a snow day but enough for a potential delay.  If the delay happened then the school would have normal hours after that.  If the delay did not happen, then the school would release the kids early as planned.

No matter what, a shortened day of school was going to happen...so as the note points out, on that day my kids just couldn't lose!
