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.

Bunny bank?








The whole concept of a piggy bank is pretty strange - why did the pig become the ideal form for a place for children to store their money?  I always think of an image of a piggy bank being smashed on the ground or broken with a hammer to get to the money.  Does that ever really happen?  Every piggy bank I've ever seen has a hole on the bottom with a little rubber stopper so you can access the money.  But I guess if you're really trying to save money then the break-only method is a good deterrent and keeps your money safe for longer periods of time.

But really, wouldn't a bunny shaped piggy bank be called a bunny bank?
