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.

It's lunch time sports fans!

I coach soccer for one or both of my girls' teams each spring and fall, and this spring their ages land correctly again so that they'll both be able to play on my team.  Soccer sign ups are happening now, which reminded me of this note:





It is always fun, whether doing it at a formal practice or with your siblings in the backyard.  But the backyard does have it's hazards...our dog has taken to digging craters out there lately which could lead to some twisted ankles.  Not to mention the the brown squishy mines she leaves everyday...extra poop patrol duty is definitely necessary for playing soccer out back.  We don't enjoy cleaning that stuff out of our carpets!
