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.

They have to grow up...

Birthdays come and birthdays go, but the end result is always the same - we age!  Getting older is awesome when you're a kid, but sometimes painful as an adult.  For us it's two-fold; as tough as it is for us to deal with our increasing ages, it can be even tougher to deal with our kids growing up.





I remember turning 10 very well, and being really happy that I was finally in double digits.  My daughter Allie is feeling the same way right now.  Having one was bad enough, but two...sheesh!  Oh well, at least there are two more behind them who won't be in double digits for a while!
