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.

Lunch eating instructions

Eating lunch couldn't be more simple.  Unless you factor in all of the elementary school drama!  Who sits by who is a major deal, as is saving seats for your friends.  Don't talk so much that you don't have time to eat everything, and trading food is a no-no...unless you're discreet.  Stealing food is just plain wrong.  Also...don't laugh so hard that your milk comes out of your nose.  Your friends will never let you live that one down!

Aside from all that, I thought I'd use a lunch note to just spell it all out and keep the whole process simple.




See, there's nothing to it!
