here are some recent lunches from camp bleubird. the kids grandma sent a giant batch of her delicious gluten free chocolate chip cookies all the way from florida and so they have been included in our lunches for the past couple of days. in case you haven't seen our kiddo lunch posts in the past, the lunch boxes we use are from goodbyn and we LOVE them. quite a few of you have asked about keeping foods hot and cold in the lunch boxes and how they do over time. goodbyn has small ice pack inserts that we use to keep items cold and i heat up hot foods before we leave and they stay warm for hours since the goodbyn lids do a great job of sealing the foods in each compartment and keeping in the heat. xo!

KIDDO LUNCH.

it's a new school year which means i get to share what i pack my kids for lunch again. yay! i love sharing our "kiddo lunch" posts with you guys. even though we home school, i still find it easiest to pack their lunches the night before so that i don't have to spend a long time cooking in the middle of the day. last week, we ate at home a couple of days, went out for lunch one day and the other two, we took our lunches outdoors to eat in the sunshine. here are last weeks lunches...

homemade estofado (my kids favorite), dehydrated corn, cheddar bunnies, banana chips and cranberries, natural berry lemonade and two peanut butter cookies.

turkey & cheese heart shaped sandwich, green grapes, hard boiled egg, cheddar bunnies, granola bar, apple juice and two donut holes.

chicken and broccoli, pearl cous cous, a banana, mini sweet potato pancakes, graham bunnies and ice water.

egg salad sandwich, apple slices, home made potato fries, cheddar bunnies, cat cookies and ice water.

and here is what i made the baby bird for lunch...

i look forward to sharing our lunches with you again this year. for those of you who are new to these posts and would like to know where we got our bento style lunch boxes, they are from goodbyn. xo!

today is the kids last day of school. needless to say they are THRILLED! summer time means not only no more school for a couple of months but they also get to spend that time with their dad in florida. i will miss them dearly but am so glad that they get this time with him. two more weeks with mama and then they're off. i will continue to show their lunches while they are here since we will be out and about doing lots of activities until they leave and then will continue their lunch peeks upon their return. :) xo!
