This past year I had one in Kindergarten and one in First Grade. At first it was all okay. I was managing to have their lunches made every morning. I had known I was expecting since 2 weeks before school started. I did not know how it would start effecting my ability to keep it all together until about halfway through the school year. I started letting my kids buy lunch at school. I did it because it was convenient. It doesn't make it okay. In fact, I feel worse about it because I used that as an excuse. It makes me feel like a terrible mother. It goes against the food values our family shares. It cannot happen next year.
I wanted to share a couple of resources as I attempt to begin my Lunchbox Adventure Test Run!
