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.

My award winning lunch note prose...

The following lunch notes recently won the award for best notes of the week in my house...an incredible honor and quite an accomplishment to say the least.  Doesn't matter that I was judge as well as award recipient...  I'll have to post my acceptance speech later.

These are part of the rare group of notes written specifically for each daughter on a winter day with snow in the air.









The middle section is the same for each note since I wanted to convey a similar point in each one.  And I take full creative license in being able to change the spelling of a word to make it rhyme better!  We don't own a pianuh or a piano, but we do have a cool electronic keyboard thing that is more than adequate.
