Wrappers, scraps, leftovers, etc. That way I shouldn't lose picks or cups to the garbage by accident, and we can re-use leftovers (depending) as after-school snack, bedtime snack, or the next day.Ludicrous Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808367296847075643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176009278173215772.post-42619932821539736742013-01-18T06:48:51.096-08:002013-01-18T06:48:51.096-08:00That's one of the reasons I got the Easylunchb...That's one of the reasons I got the Easylunchboxes for her, the cheap factor, but it's that combined with the picks and cups and all that that can add up. Mostly I think we'll wait because no one needs the added stress of her losing something, and us getting upset with her. We'll shoot for summer lunches, where we have more control over where her stuff is, and then hopefully she'll be ready to take them to school for 3rd grade.<br />And I get more practice making things look awesome!<br />-Breana M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176009278173215772.post-81508338371934789072013-01-16T18:49:07.045-08:002013-01-16T18:49:07.045-08:00Haha Breana!

Depending on how the school handles lunches (each kid gets and returns their own box from their packs/cubbies, all the lunches get dumped in a bin and wheeled to the lunchroom, etc.) you can try various things. Would a shoulder strap be easier? Use carabiners to clip it to her backpack? Freeze perishables like meats, cheese, and dairy overnight, and let them keep themselves cool and thaw by lunch - then you don't have to worry about a bag! Just use a large rubberband or loop of elastic to help the lid stay closed!Ludicrous Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808367296847075643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176009278173215772.post-1888956585341963652013-01-16T06:56:41.199-08:002013-01-16T06:56:41.199-08:00Your blog finally motivated me to start doing this...Your blog finally motivated me to start doing this for my step-daughter! The thought of how much more exciting lunch will be for her once I start doing this , and how easy you and Momables make it? No question. <br />Of course, as soon as I decided this, she lost her lunch bag and everything in it, so I think I might wait another year to start doing anything TRULY fancy for her(like the special containers and picks). For now, it'll be me and her dad that benefit from my purchases. :)<br />-Breana M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176009278173215772.post-50353019056369565752013-01-15T09:27:18.960-08:002013-01-15T09:27:18.960-08:00Love this lunch kendra!
