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.

The keys to my lunch note success

Often when I get an idea for a note it snowballs into another one right away.  That's always a bonus...the next day's note is already written.  Usually when that happens it's based on a theme.









Obviously in this case the link was the word 'key'.  I thought about writing another one using monkey or hockey, but figured two was enough for this theme.

So what's a mule anyway?  It's a cross between a donkey and a horse.  I'm sure mules are generally not kept in cages...stables maybe, but not cages.  There must be a reason this particular mule was being held in a cage, and since it was trying to escape I'm sure it was in trouble.  Probably for being an ass!     ;-)
