For a myriad of reason — most of which I have explained before — I love making bento lunches for the Little Lady and Mr. Boy.  I *try* to make them fun but I’m not the greatest at creating the awe-inspiring, breath-taking lunches that some moms can turn out.  There have been a few sad [...]

The kidlets and I have been experimenting with lunch options lately, in anticipation of the Little Lady starting preschool.  This Bento Lunch (packed in a simple sandwich box) is full of the Little Lady’s favorites: baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, a few cheese butterflies . . . and her NEW love — Cream Cheese and [...]
