Lunch Made Easy: Robots, Wraps, & Rocky Mornings

I love when I look back on school lunches from the week and there's such a wide variety - creative robots, simple and cute pinwheels, and the slapped together last minute! lol It's real. It's our life. I love every day of it. 
I was also thrilled to try a new brand of gluten & nut free sandwich wraps this week (more on what that brand was in just a minute).
Here's what we packed this week in our {Allergy Friendly Fun Lunches}:  

Lunch Made Easy: Butterfly Bites {Gluten Free & Nut Free}

Keeping this school lunch simple today but still fun thanks to a butterfly mini cookie cutter and matching cute silicone cups.

 

 

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday - Butterfly Quesadillas

Happy MOMables Monday!

Lunch Made Easy: Butterfly Bento

What a wonderful weekend spend with family and friends.

It was also emotional at church service Sunday AM with a time of reflection honoring our service men and women, along with their families. Not only that, I witnessed a dear friend get baptised. It was so moving to hug her before she walked down, tears in her eyes... which of course made me tear up! How could it not?! So amazing.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

Lunch Made Easy: Bento by Little Miss

We got home a little late this evening. While dinner was cooking, I asked Little Miss what she wanted for lunch tomorrow. She first said "ooo ooo SunButter & Jelly" and then excitedly announced "but I wanna make it again Mom, I wanna make it!"  SOLD! lol ~ I present to you Friday's Lunch, a Little Miss Creation :)

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

It's Monday, so that means another installment in our MOMables Monday posting series!!

Lunch Made Easy: First of November

No catchy title today, sorry! ;)
It was kind of nice making Little Miss's lunch... I've been making Halloweeny ones for the past two weeks so it was nice to get back to basics for a day.

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.

Party Pants: Fairy Party for a Five Year Old

One of my most favorite blogs is Hostess with the Mostess! (http://www.hostessblog.com/)

It was this website/ blog that gave me inspiration last September for my daughter's fifth birthday party.

It started with an idea and Haley's love of fairies, but I knew I didn't want to do a literal 'Tinker Bell' theme.

So I began taking pictures of items while I was out shopping, ideas from other blogged parties, and online research for food and drinks. I made an 'Idea Board' pictured below that helped me to keep my focus on what I was trying to accomplish and to continue to draw inspiration from!
