Snackable: Valentine's Treat Idea

Every day in conjunction to Little Miss's lunches, I also pack her a morning snack for school. I don't post about them since they're usually a container of goldfish crackers, a Sunbutter Crunch bar, a banana, or something along those lines...

Since I've been having so much fun making Little Miss her Heart themed bentos, I was excited to share this adorable treat/ snack idea with everyone. :)

Food for Thought: Thank You Brownies... Please Accept Them?

Okay, let me first explain by talking about what happened yesterday...

I get a phone call at work from my daughter's teacher. (She's in full-day Kindergarten.) Haley apparently left her lunch box on her AM Daycare Bus that transports her to school from Daycare. *sigh*
This is bad for a couple reasons -
1) She has a severe peanut allergy and even though they do their best to keep things with loose peanuts out of the cafeteria, they cannot guarantee everything is without a peanut warning. The main reason I strated packing her lunches every day - for peace of mind.
2) Both my boyfriend and I work over an hour away in opposite directions from her school, so I can't exactly quick run over to fix "the problem".

Alas, her daycare came to the rescue...

Craft Complete: DIY No-Sew Bag (Revisited for Kids)

If you remember my previous post from a couple weeks ago, Craft Complete: No Sew DIY Tote Bag (Made from a T'Shirt!) I mentioned I'd be revisiting this to do a small bag for my daughter.

I wanted to share it with you!

Craft Complete: DIY Non-Slip Hair Clips & Bows

DIY Hair Clips & Bows - I love making these for my daughter! They can get so expensive buying them outright.

So simple to do; All you'll need is ribbon, an alligator clip, non-slip cabinet liner (optional), and a hot glue gun (and hot glue, of course, lol).

You can buy alligator clips at Hobby Lobby or Sally's Beauty Supply stores. I purchased mine on Ebay (was able to get a big bag of them for cheap).
Non-slip cabinet liner can be found at Target, Walmart, or even most dollar stores.

Lunch Made Easy: Bento Inspiration has begun...

My sister has gotten me hooked and completely interested in Bento lunches.
The art and the practicality! I need to build my supplies up... and now with the school year ending, I might as well wait until it begin again in the fall before I really splurge. :)
That being said, I plan on placing an order for a few things after the weekend. SO EXCITED!

Below I'm not only going to post her lunch from today, again utilizing the recycled strawberry container she now loves (LOL) but also a Bento inspired dinner I made for her the other night.

Lunch Made Easy: Recycling Strawberry Containers

This is a cute idea for recycling those plastic strawberry containers!
Not only that - if your kids lose or forget it at school, no biggy... I buy strawberries every week. lol :)
