Each family takes one day of the week and makes lunch for their child, and 4 other children. Then, the rest of the week, someone else is making lunch for their child. Since I have three kids in the club, I am in charge of making 15 lunches for Thursdays. While this might sound like a lot when you say it for the first time, I have just had to change my way of thinking. I normally make 15 lunches each week anyways, now I make them all at once. Another plus from this is that I can buy food in bulk, knowing that I will use it all up before is spoils (and my kids don't have to eat the SAME fruit salad 5 days in a row). I am looking forward to seeing what kinds of things the other families send for lunch (and seeing if my kids like them). I think they will get a wider variety of items, and hopefully, they will find new foods that they like.
So, as I was planning out what I was going to make for my turn, I found some great websites that I thought I would share with everyone else.
This mom has a challenge (along with menus) to get you to feed your family "Real Food" for 100 days. This website was a great resource when I was working on getting my family into a healthier way of eating. The school lunch roundup (see link above) has some great ideas!!
So-to go along with these great lunch ideas-I wanted to find some cute, printable lunchbox notes that I could throw in my lunches. Here are some great sites:
