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.

Nonsense works sometimes

Sometimes nonsense works in lunch notes.  If I'm trying to make a note rhyme I'll use whatever phrases I need to.  Don't know how I come up with some of this stuff, but it works!







I chuckle when I read these, and hopefully my kids did too.  This is part of what makes writing these lunch notes everyday fun.  Just go with what comes out of your pen and don't over think it!
