Lunch Made Easy: Field Trip Day!

Little Miss, and the entire first grade, is going on a field trip tomorrow to the Nature Center and this Mama gets to chaperone. :)

I'm actually excited about it since I haven't done a field trip with her since pre-school... AND it's her first FULL day field trip -- the initial reason why I volunteered... PB&J's are a staple on field trips and even though her class is nut-free, the other first grade classes aren't. However, her teacher reassured me by welcoming me to join and that the kids would be eating lunch with their own class.

I volunteered to be the designated medication holder - epipens, inhalers, benadryl, first aid! I'll also come armed with wipeys and germ-juice! LOL ;)

SO anyways!! That means she and I BOTH needed a picnic, disposable lunch.

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 :)
