Lunch Made Easy: Sunny Days with SunButter Nut-Free Spread!

Spring is here.  Lots of rainy days, little bursts of sunshine, and tons of sneezing in my house (got to love allergies!). 
Little Miss is so happy to be gearing up for the end of school. Once May hits it feels like there are so many programs, fundraising events, and different activities going on... before you know it, it's June and school is basically done! Crazy.
The lunch packing never stops in this house, however. All through the summer, Little Miss still needs safe & healthy gluten free and allergy friendly lunches for the babysitter, visits with the grandparents, or on any road trips we may take.
Today for school, we decided to celebrate the "Sunny Days" ahead (since I had none for this photo, ha!), with SunButter nut-free sunflower seed spread: 

Little Lunch Lessons: Miracles Blossom #TuesdayTeachings #LBLhope

This is our eighth week in now in our {Tuesday Teachings} Little Lunch Lessons series. Time flies when you're having fun!
Each week I try to bring a new approach to Little Miss' lunches and the lessons I share. Whether it be through a song, Bible story, life lesson, or book. 
Today's lunch was inspired by a simple little card.  It had the most beautiful quote on it. The card came from our new Lunchbox Love Notes Strength & Hope set. The heartfelt message, I felt, was great for Little Miss today. A reminder to have hope, patience, and let miracles grow.

As always, our lunches are Allergy Friendly: Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Tree Nut Free, Peanut Free, & more (see notes below for Dairy Free, Egg Free, & Soy Free options).

Lunch Made Easy: Fun Day!

Tomorrow is "Fun Day!" at Little Miss' school ~ Much like the Field Day I had as a kiddo in school - outdoor activities, races, contests, etc. Although it's suppose to rain, so most likely they'll be having it in the gymnasium.

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.

Well, I only got home about 45 minutes ago from a long day of travel for work. In that time managed to make two lunches, nibble on some leftover dinner, and put on my pajamas. Now here I sit blogging and then to button up some loose ends for work..that 3am alarm is going to be here before I blink! Good thing I operate well on very little sleep. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Orange you glad it's Thursday?

Little Miss was super excited when I showed her her brand new LunchBots Duo! She loves new bento goodies just as much as I do. :)
