Happy “Pinch Proof” Day!

I had a great time doing a few fun things with my fam to show them how lucky blessed I feel to have them in my life. As always…why not celebrate everything?

It started with a fun little breakfast!…
   


And, continued on with a HILARIOUS 4 mustache photo shoot…






  


And, I got back to making a fun lunch for my big boy. I’ve missed doing it as often this year. But, he couldn’t stop talking about this silly leprechaun!…

Quinn’s Lunches: LAST ONE!

Before I share Quinn’s last day of school and our “Hello Summer Party,” I thought I’d show you my MOST impressive lunch yet!…Try NOT to be jealous of Q and don’t judge me for ALL of the time and heart I put into making this spectacular lunch…

Isn’t it amazing!? And, sadly, HE LOVED IT! What’s a mom to do!? I even used the lunch bag that they sent home with him to remind us to back a disposable lunch. ha.

Anyway, I did have MORE fun making his lunches this year and look forward to getting to do it all over again next year. Sure, they got less and less creative as the year went on…but, he loved them all the same. Be sure to get an Easy Lunchbox for your little school kiddo for next year…or, better yet, get them now and use them all summer! I couldn’t be happier with this product…

Quinn’s Lunches: Easter Edition

If you care to see Quinn’s lunches on a regular basis, I’m sorry that I’ve fizzled a bit. Yes, he’s still getting lunches…and, sure, they’re kinda cute….BUT…the thought of taking pictures and posting them to the blog when they’re “just OK” seems silly. …

Anyway, this week, I was pretty proud of Q’s lunches. And he LOVED them! {And, I used the Easy Lunchboxes each time! They gave me lots of room to be creative!}

Lunch#1: When we got back from being out of town, our food supply was quite sad. But, I got creative and decided to give Q a fun snacky lunch. Inside the eggs are PB crackers, raisins, carrot sticks, and apple slices. And, a fun marshmallow friend was there hiding in the eggs as well!

Lunch #2: A PB bunny sandwich on a sandwich round. (with Pringles sticks whiskers, skittles eyes and cheese stick bow tie. And, the bakery at Wal-Mart is still kind enough to let me pick 12 little cupcake toppers for a dollar. I get so excited when they have new ones!

Lunch #3: I made this one for Quinn’s “Flower on the Cross” day at school. And, Nash’s baby food container has pepperonis and cheese cubes…and a message on top! Also, be sure to make these fun cookies soon! Such a hit!!!

Quinn’s Lunches: Week 21, 22 & 23

I must admit that the lunches are getting a little less spectacular. But, I’m still enjoying adding a few little touches that make them fun for my big boy! And, the more fun they are, the better he eats!!!

This one had my homemade peanut butter banana bread! Quinn asked for it over and over again!…
Adding the candy coated popcorn was fun for a few days!!!…

This one was on class picture day! Maybe that smile encouraged him to smile!…And, the oyster crackers are a new fave…
I’m still using Nash’s baby food containers. They were perfect for Quinn’s carrots and banana peppers. Crazy kid LOVES them! …

P.S. Most of these are packed in the Easy Lunchboxes. Just think of how much waste I’ve eliminated already this year!

Quinn’s Lunches: Weeks 19 & 20

Due to snow and sickness, packing lunch packing has been very sporadic. I was disappointed to not get to make more Valentine's lunches…but had fun with the few that I got to make. And, I’ve LOVED using my Easy Lunchboxes lately. They seem to make it easier to be creative! 

Lunch #1: A fun little lovey lunch…I love getting all of the different seasonal rings from grocery store bakery…

Lunch #2: Another fun Valentine’s Day lunch.

Lunch #3: I LOVED how well the food markers wrote on the crackers. And, I thought the fruit salad was so pretty!…

Quinn’s Lunches: Week 17 & 18

Here are Quinn’s lunches from the past two weeks. And, looking at them is making me hungry. …What am I saying? I’m ALWAYS hungry! Nursing gives me a bigger appetite than pregnancy ever did! … Anyway…enough rambling…here are the lunches.

Lunch #1: An assortment of goodies in the Goodbyn with some fun Thomas rings that I got at the grocery store bakery. Lunch #2: Why not make sandwiches with his letters? He loved it! …And, I used the Easy Lunchboxes for this one!
Lunch #3: The most exciting thing from this lunch was the caramel dip and apples. And, this lunch was GONE! Seriously, NOTHING left! Lunch #4: This was supposed to be Quinn’s “animal homes” lunch for school…since that’s their theme this week. But, due to our Texas Arctic Storm, we got to enjoy it at home.

And, I added the rest of his lunch inside of the doors of his little animal hospital. He thanked me more than once for his fun lunch!

Quinn’s Lunches: Week 15

Crazy enough, we only had two lunches again this week! Monday was a SNOW DAY!!!

Lunch #1: Because of the snow that still lingers all over, I found it only appropriate to have a snow man lunch. Quinn couldn’t wait to tell me about it when I picked him up! He loved his party hat! Of course he loved all of the sweets he got today…marshmallows and jelly beans! And, I used the Easy Lunchboxes today! I love how it gave me plenty of space to make my little snow scene!

Lunch #2: Let’s just say we “had a morning!” Getting ready and getting out the door seemed to be near impossible! So, the lunch is nothing impressive. I do love the mini pepperoni baggies that I found…and that Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana cookie is SOOOO yum! (recipe coming soon!) …And, I must say that I’m most excited to be recycling Nash’s baby food containers. They’re the perfect size for carrots, pickles, dips and more!
I had one happy cowboy! Thankfully, he’s easy to please!!!

Quinn’s Lunches: Week 13

Well, we made it! Quinn finished his very first semester of school today! And, due to his Christmas party today, he only had two lunches packed by Momma this week.

Lunch #1: The sprinkles kinda spilled! But, it made for a pretty sandwich!

Lunch #2: A fun little Christmas tree sandwich and some bell cheese…and more of Quinn’s new fave…Craisins! … along with pickles, golden raisins and a granola bar!    Even though we’re going to be home for a while, I have some fun lunches up my sleeve! So, stay tuned!
