We survived our first week of school! Woot woot!! It’s funny, after Day 1, I was like. . “oh I sooo got this.” and then, of course, on Day 3 I crashed and burned. As a mother who stays at home, but also works from home, it’s sometimes hard to balance it all. I mess up all the time and am truly grateful that each day is a new day.
Now that the kids are back in school and gone for most of the day, it’s been amazing what I’ve been able to accomplish at home. And I try to continue this good pace when they get home. I always ask a lot of questions when they get home and we do this “tell me 3 things you learned today” or “3 things that made you happy today” . . and sometimes I feel it’s like pulling teeth to get my 7 year old to say stuff. . especially when I specifically ask about what she learned. Is anyone else’s kid like this?
I’ve already done a few back to school lunch posts and I’m simply posting this one today to tell you guys about RockTheLunchBox.com and give ONE of you the opportunity to WIN this fabulous prize pack from Annie’s.com and RockTheLunchbox.com. I think every parent out there struggles sometimes about what to pack for their children’s lunch (I certainly do!) and Rock the Lunchbox has some great ideas!
I love this laptop lunchbox. My kids love keeping foods separate while they are eating so we love these laptop lunch containers with individual durable plastic containers for everything! There’s even a tiny one for my daughter’s salad dressing. Gotta love that.
Annie’s asked us to have our kids draw their dream lunch . . . I knew Phoebe’s would include pizza.
Over the summer, we made lots of homemade pizza and she loves whole wheat dough so now I have introduced her to whole wheat tortillas! She loves these and they are super easy to make for lunch. All I do is add some turkey meat or chicken breast and roll them up! I also add raw veggies and fruit.
And now when I have to pack a sandwich, I don’t have to use plastic ziploc bags anymore! I love these reuseable storage bags! Aren’t these great! See the giveaway information below to see how you can win the lunchbox, reuseable storage bags, and coupons for FREE products from Annie’s, Organic Valley, Honest Kids, Applegate and Rudi’s!

my daughter loves her pb and j sandwiches with fruit on the side
Cubed tofu, jicama slices, carrot stick, almond butter and tat berry jam sandwich and apple or pear slices.

So glad to hear you guys survived the first week of school 🙂 Rockthelunchbox sounds awesome! Love that it involves the kids telling you their dream lunch and the bento kits look so cool!
My daughter loves to take baby carrots, a fruit snack pack and anything rolled up in a tortilla!
Alice, you rocked the lunchbox, looks so good we would take it to a picnic 🙂
Great giveaway! My daughter likes homemade lunchables: cheese, crackers and ham, and I add some fruit on the side.
My daughter enjoys cheese sandwiches, carrots, and crackers.

I love the Bento box! You have so may ideas ! Your daugther’s drawing is lovely !
My sister used to be that way…she would NEVER say what she learned in school or answer any questions about what she did LOL.
LOL! This needs to change! 😛 I get it out of her eventually. .
They love when I pack things that they can dip. And pepperoni and salami sandwiches. And they love when I throw in something home made, like a muffin or banana bread or a biscuit or breadstick. 🙂
My kids love a green salad, grapes, cheese/crackers in their lunchbox. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

This lunchbox is so cute! I totally admire parents who can always pack adorable, healthy, varied lunches. My poor son often rocks mac & cheese or sunflower butter & jam….but he doesn’t know any better, so he likes it. 🙂
My kids love sushi in there lunch.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Matteo loves egg sandwiches! Easy going little boy 🙂
Our school is peanut free so I usually pack grilled ham steak or chicken, yogurt, cheese stick, goldfish or pretzels, and a sweet treat!
My kids are a bit odd on their lunches. No sandwiches! So my 9-year-old son’s favorite lunch is usually about 5 items in separate containers (which would make this a great lunchbox!
Today: 1 yogurt, 1 container of pickled cucumber/onion salad, 1 container of cubed garlic gouda, 1 package of roasted seaweed, and a baggie of pretzel sticks. (The pretzels are his “treat,” but some days it’s a triangle of Taza chocolate.)
My daughter loves empanada, salad on the side and fruit for dessert or sushi and also chicken/pork adobo and rice.
Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich, an orange and chips
My son really likes a sunbutter and jelly sandwich along with cucumbers and hummus.
They don’t care what is in their lunch as long as we put something sweet in there for dessert. I could fill the lunchbox with brussel sprouts and they wouldn’t care as long as there was a snack cake in there too. But, we usually give them a ham and cheese or turkey and cheese sandwich.
They like peanut butter sandwiches with grapes.
My son loves turkey sandwich, green salad and a chocolate bar for lunch! 🙂 Greets, Storage Norbury Ltd.
