  • Buying a Better Lunchbox

    Wednesday August 4, 2010

    Last year, I bought this lunchbox for my daughter, when she was starting kindergarten.  It was being sold through the PTA as a fundraiser and it looked pretty good on paper.  A year later, with another kiddo slated to start kindy, I began to revisit the lunchbox options. The old lunchbox wasn’t bad, but, it [...]

    Wednesday May 12, 2010

    Sam loves to learn how to do new things and loves to help in the kitchen.  I confess, I’m not always eager to have the kids underfoot, but Mike has been great about teaching them.  Sam and Wendy learned to crack eggs at a young age — I’m pretty sure he had Sam doing it [...]

  • Friday Fun with Food and Finances

    Friday March 26, 2010

    Wendy, my kindergartner, is a lunch bringer.   Her Dad packs her lunches most mornings, something I am eternally thankful for.  But she began to complain that she wanted a chance to buy her lunch at school occasionally, so we worked out a deal. If she did a good job eating her lunch Mon – Thurs, [...]
