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.

Happy 2011! First post New Year post.

Hope you had a great holiday weekend.  2011 is...well, not too much different yet.  That's okay I suppose.  The kids are back to school, which of course means more lunch notes.  Like this one:








I love superheroes.  Super powers always amazed me as a kid, and I wished I could fly just like Superman, or have x-ray vision, or be invisible, or super fast.  Wonder Woman fascinated me because just like Batman, she was very mortal.  Sure she was strong and skilled and so forth, but if just one bullet got past those golden bracelets she'd be done for.

It makes me laugh now to think about the invisible jet she flew in the old Saturday morning Superfriends cartoons.  How strange to see a woman in a sitting position streaking across the sky.  And we always saw the outline of the jet...was that just for perspective, or could anyone see the outline?  And does invisible mean truly cloaked or still detectable by radar?  Guess it doesn't really matter.  Anyway, this was a fun note to write.
