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.

Sunny Sisters

This was a rare occasion when different notes were prepared for each of my daughters.  Usually they get the same one for time and practicality purposes, but I had assistance this time.  My younger daughter Allie came into the kitchen as I was deciding what to write and asked if she could draw a small picture on her sister's note.  I said sure and made it the subject of the whole note.

She drew a cute little sun in the bottom left corner with a small cloud next to it.  Her sister's abbreviated name was written in the middle of the sun.  I've re-created the drawing to the best of my ability below.





They should do stuff like this more often, because then the notes write themselves!
