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.

A fast little singer

Celebrity names can always be fodder for jokes.  Since jokes are great for lunch notes matching the two is fun.






Taylor is a very talented singer and songwriter, someone whose music is very accessible to adults and teens/tweens alike.  We first saw her several years ago as a 16 or 17 year old opening for Tim & Faith on their SoulIISoul 2 tour.  We didn't know much about her, but her performance won us over.  We took our girls to see her in concert a couple years ago and made it a surprise - we didn't tell them where we were going on the way so they were very happy.

I like my notes to be truthful though, so can someone please find out if Taylor really is quick or not?
