    Cute Kid’s Lunch Box Notes to Share

    October 17, 2021 / No Comments

    When our kids were younger they took the bus to school. The day could be awfully long without us, or so I thought anyways. I mean I know it was long for me often without them. So, I sometimes loved adding cute lunch box notes to their lunch boxes. My two kids struggled with anxiety too so sometimes the separation anxiety was high, especially with my youngest child. For years, I would give them each a business card tucked into their back packs. I know that sounds funny to some people. But for my girls it was the extra reassurance that they had my phone number and they could reach…

    Cute Fishing Jokes for Kids

    February 6, 2020 /

    These adorable fishing jokes for kids are a cute way to show your kids you are thinking about them when they are at school, or camp. There’s nothing quite as useful as comic content for kids when it comes to socializing. What’s the first thing that your niece and nephew tell you at every single family function? “Hello Auntie Paula or Uncle Jim” and then they launch right into the jokes, right? I love this about my youngest niece and second youngest nephew. It totally reminds me of my own childhood because my brother used to love jokes. I was very shy and so I’d never ever launch right into…

    If you are at all like me you sort of dread the entire lunch ritual. Packing lunches is tedious and there are only so many ways you can make a sandwich or wrap exciting.

That’s why I thought you might enjoy these cute Christmas jokes. Q. What’s a snowman’s favourite lunch? A. A snowberger. These adorable Christmas lunch jokes are just for you.

    8 Cool Cucumber Lunch Ideas #BTS

    September 20, 2015 /

    Cucumber lunch ideas are simple and healthy. Cucumbers can be so refreshing and easy to snack on. Plus they are affordable. That’s one reason I never mind adding these to my grocery list. In water, salads or on their own cucumbers are a great snack. But what about for lunch? Cucumber lunch ideas are fun and simple, just as you might expect. Here are a few of my favourites. Are you back in the swing of things at school? Is the house quieter? Has everyone adjusted to the new routine? That’s all great, and I hope that it went smoothly for you.

    Back to School Butterscotch Pudding #giveaway

    August 9, 2014 /

    Bring on the butterscotch pudding. By the end of September every parent around will be searching for new lunch ideas and snacks to pack in children’s lunches. It doesn’t take long to run out of ideas each school year. But this year I have a great butterscotch pudding snack I am happy to have found for the kid’s lunches. Puddin’ SqueeZ pudding on the go snacks that will clearly kick things up a notch. Let’s be honest. Back to School is not my favourite time of year. Reason number one: the fall signifies the start of the miserable weather slide that ends with snow and shovels and misery. Reason number two: One…
