BASICS-Lunch Boxes/Bags/Drink
This is what my kids have and it holds the omni lunchbox and a yeti water bottle on the side. SUPER durable, will last YEARS.
THE BEST. Comes with a hot thermos, you can take it out and put like a sandwich there if not doing hot lunch. (if doing hot, simply pour boiling water in it while your preparing lunch then dump out and add food. stays hot all day)

I have one for both children. Reason number 1- yeti is superior at keeping drinks cold. Second, I would rather purchase one time instead of getting a new junky one yearly. This will last them forever!
Truthfully we do a TON of chicken nuggets so these are a must to put BBQ sauce or ketchup in. I put them in my little silverware rack on the top of my dishwasher.
If you know your life will be easier to just throw away the spoons and forks, then dont stress it and get the plastic. No need to make your life harder if youve got too much on your plate. I wont judge. We all have those times.
IF you know you are already in the habit of quickly washing up the lunchbox every night or morning, get these. They have lasted our kids 2 years plus already and look new.
This thing lives on my counter. We replaced our air fryer, toaster, and dont have to turn on oven. I use this many morning to make chicken nuggets, or reheat leftovers for lunches. Makes grilled cheese, and so much more. literally does it all. fried ...
I love how fun these mini hand sanitizers are. smell amazing and the kids actually want to use them

“your mom always make the most creative lunches” UM well its not hard lol i just STICK THESE BABIES into the different food lol. That is the secret.
I use this for veggies. One of my children loves veggies and the other doesnt. Dont beat yourself up if yours doesnt I would rather get them fed, full, and happy than stress over what im putting in their lunch. I use this for fruits like cantaloupe, ...

Kid Approved Eats
We picked some up at Costco the other day and both kids said these are a winner!
i always keep these on hand for those days where i am in hurry, not feeling like making their lunch. pop them in the microwave and add a side of pretzels and a fruit cup or whatever i have, and lunch is made.
same with these, keep in fridge, they are my goto lazy mom lunch. add eyeballs- good to go
good on own with dipping sauce, or add onto leftover pasta for a little protein action
I mean, dino nuggets are always a win
keep on hand for lunch in a pinch. YUM too
is this reliving our childhood? yes it is. i want them. :)
fun to add for a little special occasion, or a birthday, or just for the last day before weekend. celebrate the little things
wowza. the other moms, they gonna be mad jealous
did i mention grocery pickup order- um yes. make your life easier
good one to keep on hand for a little side
how darling to make your own ‘lunchable’ with meat and cheese. SO GOOD. also, i will tell you first hand club crackers with a little nutella- CHEFS KISS
when im slacking on the creative lunches i always feel better when there is a little color. not all the time, but it gets me out of the lunch funk in an easy way.
my son loves spongebob
daughter loves unicorns
easy lunch- ramen. so hearty warm in the winter
the kids, they be obsesed with pokemon
can add these to ramen, leftover rice, or even on their own with a side of dipping sauce. if you can get your kid to eat the seaweed chips then bam you got like a sushi theme going lol
these with a little side of nutella
perfect around easter time hop hop
winter- with soups. could even do a grilled cheese
little side
cheesy side
another mini cracker option for DIY lunchable

Add these on top of a sandwich or a cupcake
jumbo candy eyes
green eyes- ultra spooky

I like keeping holiday sprinkles on hand for cookies, cupcakes of course but its perfect for lunch to add on top of yogurt or even jello
give me all the edible eyeballs
EASY and so stinkin cute all their friends will be talking about it
I would make these in bulk for dinner and then use them throughout the week for lunches. Just add the eyes as you go, and a side of ketchup. EASY
cutting the sandwich that way is brilliant! love the use of the spider prop
EDIBLE!! Add this onto an uncrustable and be mom of the year
