Little Lunch Lessons: Music of the Heart #TuesdayTeachings

Little Miss has her winter singing program at school this week. She's so excited because she has a small group solo (she and two of her classmates) during the performance.

In honor of her show and Valentine's Day, I automatically thought of doing a special "Music of the Heart" themed lunch with a fun fact about singing for her Little Lunch Lesson {Tuesday Teaching} this week. 

{Lunchbox Love} Valentine's Day Cards! #LBLmoms #LBLholiday

Lunchbox Love Notes are one of my favorite items to have on hand for Little Miss' special school lunches. 
They come with sweet sayings, fun facts, and even jokes. They can give inspiration for a fun themed lunch, teach your kiddos a new fact for the day, or even lift their spirits by telling them thank you or that you're proud of them and all their hard work.
I know my daughter loves when I sneak them into her lunch box. She loves knowing her Mama is thinking of her and sharing the fun facts with her friends.
Valentine's Day is no exception thanks to Lunchbox Love's Valentine's Day Cards! Perfect for lunches or sharing with friends.

Lunch Made Easy: Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

What are everyone's plans? Anything special going on for the evening/ day? I plan on making Little Miss a special breakfast in the AM. I snuck a few "lovey" things into the fellas lunch today too, hehe! *Shh, don't tell!*

Little Miss is particularly excited for school - exchanging cards/ crafts with her friends. She worked so hard on them this weekend. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Valentine's Club

We have a fun week this week ~ Valentine's Day Tuesday and the fella has his birthday on Wednesday. An expensive time of year for this mama ($$ eek!) but an awesome week full of love and laughter with two important dates tied into it!

Lunch Made Easy: By More of My Faves!

I didn't have enough days off to post about ALL my faves! (No problem right? I'll just go back on vacation!! lol) So I decided for the last post in my vacation series to be a round up of some of my other favorite Valentine/hearts/love bentos ideas from some of my bloggy buddies ~

Lunch Made Easy: By Keitha's Chaos

My vacation series was setup to highlight some of my favorite bento bloggers, specifically on love/heart/Valentine's lunches to give everybody some added inspiration.

...BUT I just HAD to do a spot on Keitha - I adore her Storybook Themed Lunches she makes for her son, Boogs. His lunches are inspired by the books they read before bed the evening before. Each night, she reads two books to him and he reads one back to her. I just love this idea. Reading is something Little Miss and I do together every evening before bed, as well.

Lunch Made Easy: By BentOnBetterLunches

Continuing my vacation series - Next up is my bento hero, Candy Girl of BentOnBetterLunches!
I call her my bento hero because the woman has FIVE kids, manages to make them all healthy and beautiful bentos, AND blog about it! (I. Am. In. Awe. lol)

She's the proud Mama to her Sproutlets - Beanstalk,  Bella, Pickle, Sprout, and Birdie.

Lunch Made Easy: By Biting The Hand That Feeds You

Since this Mama and her Little Miss are taking a vacation, I won't be making lunches... or near a computer, if I can help it, for a full week. :)

Just before Ludicrous Mama of Biting The Hand That Feeds You welcomed her new ADORABLE baby into the world, she took a siesta from blogging and did these amazing auto-post features on fellow bento bloggers. (Click here to see the incredibly sweet and HILARIOUS write-up she did on Keeley McGuire Blog.)

I thought it was a fabulous idea! So while I'm away, I'm going to share some of my favorite posts from some of my favorite bento peeps, focusing mostly on hearts/love/Valentine themes to help give y'all some inspiration with the upcoming holiday!
