Back to school season came at us faster than we could’ve imagined! While we had an amazing summer, getting my little ones ready for school every day are some of my favorite moments with them. Packing their lunches has been a learning process over the last few years, since their tastebuds are always changing, but I think I finally got it down! Packing four different lunches is definitely a lot of work, but I’ve gotten to know what the kids like and what they don’t like, which makes it a bit easier.
I’ve absolutely been LOVING using the lunch boxes by PlanetBox. I’m always sharing how I pack my kids’ lunches and these eco-friendly boxes make the process so seamless. There’s plenty of room for the main course, along with snacks and sweet treats in the different compartments!
Since I know that school lunches can feel a bit repetitive, I wanted to make it fun and exciting so that the kids actually look forward to eating their food. I’m always experimenting and I think my toughest critic is my baby girl, Dylan, so I wanted to share some of the latest meals that are #DylanApproved and enjoyable for everyone!
