Where did you get the silver lunch box in your pictures?
ReplyDeleteIt's a planetbox. Pricey but worth it in my opinion, durable easy to pack and washes in the dishwasher:) http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/planet-lunch-box-pink-dot-chocolate-owl/?cm_src=AutoCSLPIP
DeleteYou have a wonderful site with great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThank You Katie!!

ReplyDeleteCould you share what was in the trail mix at the afam event over the weekend. ...if there are specific brands you like please share specifically the vegis that were dried
ReplyDeleteThe dried fruit and veggies were Karen's Natural brand and Whole Foods Brand:)
DeleteAny chance you offer prepared lunches for teachers including delivery to school? I am looking for something like this for this coming school year...even 2-3 days a week would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteWe don't currently but we have had a lot of requests for a packed lunch program so it's something we are working on:)
