catching up

it has been more a case of procrastinating in terms of posting rather than not putting lunchboxes together. after a full 14 months of “lunchboxing” (that almost sounds dangerous), papajon and i could do put a lunchbox together with our eyes closed (well, almost), taking pictures is fairly straight forward… but posting is a lot more complex… wordpress has made posting an easy process… but it is still a long process to routinely post once a week… some people post daily and twice daily. kudos!

    I am happy I found your interesting blog. :-) My little one is in playschool. He is 2 and a vrey very fussy eater. I have tried making him eat everything that our vegetarian (no eggs too) family eats. I used to dream of packing wonderful lunch boxes when he was little, but now after making him eat a small meal in one hour, I have given up on myself ;-) )). Hope to get some great tips from your blog!

    Thank you for sharing!

    Love,
    Smita

    What a lot of work, thank you. I’m wondering where you bought such useful, colorful containers, and the box to hold them?

    Laptop Lunches looks like where you got the containers.

    Karen, you are absolutely right. i ordered the lunchbox online and the lunchboxes are from Laptop Lunches. Have had them for about 2 years and you can put them in the dishwasher, the food can be warmed in the microwave, one of the boxes has a lid, so that you can put either soup or yoghurt or sauces. very creative :) have fun creating lunches :)
