Beary Special Birthday Ideas! {Bear Party Theme}

Coming up with budget friendly and creative birthday party ideas is something I love doing. 
You don't have to spend a fortune to create an unique and fun themed party for your kids.
Last year, Little Miss had a "Bear Themed Birthday Bash". When my friends at Surf Sweets heard this, they asked me to share some of our beary special birthday ideas on the blog!

Lunch Made Easy: SunButter & Honey Bee Bites

Little Miss' school lunch is buzzing with deliciousness for Wednesday. ;)

Lunch Made Easy: It's a Bynto Bento!

Lunch for Thursday is in Little Miss' Goodbyn Bynto again ~ I'm learning the more I use it better ways to pack more inside those tiny compartments. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Flower Bagel Bites

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: MOMables Monday, Silly Monkey!

Tomorrow is Monday - That means it's another MOMables Monday at our house!

Lunch Made Easy: MOMables Monday

I decided to start a new Monday series, "MOMables Monday".

Each Monday I'll feature a MOMables meal plan lunch for Little Miss.

They really are so great when looking for inspiration and healthy menu ideas!

Like this one:

Food for Thought: Honey Glazed Petite Potatoes

I made these over the weekend for dinner and boy ohhhh boy were they DEEEElicious!
A hit with the fella and Little Miss.

Lunch Made Easy: Happy Presidents' Day!

Here in the good ol' U. S. of A. Monday is recognized as Presidents' Day. Many schools have a three day weekend, but not Little Miss - off to school she goes! So, a fun themed bento seemed appropriate. :)

Lunch Made Easy: 100th Day of School

Hola mis amigos! I have returned from vacation!
Tanned and relaxed. Today was a whirlwind because we didn't get home until 3:30am so after catching up on some sleep, it mostly involved laundry, last bits of homework for Little Miss, and a trip to the grocery store.
Little Miss did FANTASTIC on her first plane ride. We gave her benadryl before each flight as a precaution against any allergy flare ups (plus wiping down and sterlizing her seat area as best I could). We spent six days in Nuevo Vallarta at an all inclusive resort with trips into Puerto & Viejo Vallarta. A great experience as I've never been to Mexico before - life long memories for Little Miss. Plus we got to see two of our friends get married on the beach. It was beautiful! So glad we went.
Back to reality though. Little Miss returns to school tomorrow (Friday). It's their 100th Day of School PLUS pajama day... great one to come back to, right!? :) Lucky girl!

Lunch Made Easy: Hugs & Kisses Little Misses

"Hugs and Kisses Little Misses" - this is something I actually say to Little Miss before bed quite often. :) I don't even remember how long ago I started it but as I was making this bento it made me smile thinking about it as the title.

Lunch Made Easy: I Heart You.

Hooray for Friday! <3

It might seem early to start on the heartsy type lunches, but I don't care :-P lol
I bought some heart & Valentine's themed goodies from Target and couldn't wait to use them.

Lunch Made Easy: Birds of a Feather

Not gonna lie... when I started making Little Miss's sandwich, I had intended it to be a penguin buuuuuuut it looks more like a bird. So... BIRD IT IS! :)

Tuesday marks 12 days left on the Advent Lunches Christmas Countdown too. Doing the countdown has seriously been the best thing with Little Miss - even though I've made her lunch the night before - she'll wake up and tell ME how many days are left. I love it!

Lunch Made Easy: Sunbutter Sushi

I realized I hadn't made Little Miss "sunbutter sushi" in quite some time, one of her faves. :)

Lunch Made Easy: Dora Spaghetti-O's & Another Mama Bento

So lunch today is pretty basic and was done on the fly - It all started with Dora Spaghetti-O's...

(Sorry for the poor picture, it was really dark and the lighting was too dim)

Lunch Made Easy: Hoppy Friday!

The next theme on the Bento Blog Network Bento of the Week Challenge are Sandwich Balls, aka "Bread Onigiri" (here's a good tutorial I found, if you're interested ---> Bread Onigiri)

As I made the balls, I did a couple different sizes as I wasn't sure how they'd turn out. Then the idea came to me to make it into a cute little bunny. :)
