Whew! What a summer. It's been quick and long at the same time. I'll post more about our summer adventures soon, but right now I wanted to share with you something that is very seasonally appropriate.
Back to School and Lunch packing.
(Eye roll time) It's true that I love providing healthy, whole food options for my babies when they are at school. I like knowing what they are eating. There's something about it that makes me feel like a part of me is with them THERE.
I just wish someone else where preparing them. I hate packing lunches. I hate it. Oh, I do it - and every single day, both Mila & Rémi have a little snack box, a lunch box (or thermos) and a fruit. But, I really, really do not enjoy it.
I was thinking that maybe I just lacked inspiration. So, I hit the books = the web. I found some great resources for ideas, many of which I've already tried. 100 Days of Real Food is one that I like a lot right now and all of the ideas are very do-able.
I did come across this insanely amazing woman, Ida Frosk. I mean, I just have to imagine that her inspiration for creating these beautiful pieces of food art was the same as many of us Moms; getting our kid to like our food.
For that, I salute you, Ida.
Now, having said that, I will NEVER show these photos to my kids because they will forever be disappointed each and every time they open their lunch box at school.
