mommy + me lunch box

Join us on a Jolly Holiday Blog Hop  sponsored by Bento Blogger and Friends! Miss C doesn't like her sandwiches cut lately. She likes the crust so she's been asking me to just cut her sandwiches in half, diagonally. By cutting the gingerbread out of the bread, Mommy can get her creative on and she can still have her crust. :) Gingerbread Nutella sandwich,  diced chicken with ketchup and green apple packed in  EasyLunchBox Please click on the picture below and look at the yummy lunch made by my friend Christine of My Epicurean Adventures ! note: This post may contain Amazon Affiliate links

There's a creepy, crawly, scary blog hop going on! Halloween is around the corner, so my friends and I put together a Frightful Fall Blog Hop to inspire you to create fun or creepy lunches for the kids this month!  Miss C's lunch Full Moon + Cat Silhouette is made out of cheese and nori.  Waffle and turkey meatballs. Organic peaches cup with Jack-O-Lantern face. Drawing on a peach cup, mandarin orange cup, a clementine is such an easy way to add a little Halloween in a lunch box!  "Mommy, I LOVE what you did with my fruit cup! It was soooo cute! All my friends loved it too!" Click on the image below and hop to  Following in My Shoes  to see another  frightfully yummy lunch Rachel made for lunch!
