Weaving a little fun into lunch. . .


A little fun goes a very long way when it comes to getting people of a certain height to actually eat something.
My kids aren't picky, just very unmotivated eaters. Adding a little "fancy" to their meals makes them disappear much faster and
helps me stay sane. No begging, pleading or threats of "no dessert" necessary.

My Vacation and the Board


So, since mom's don't get sick days, I took a vacation from this blog because it was the only thing I could drop while I wasn't feeling well. I can't exactly stop feeding the kids, or any other "mom" things.
A good thing came of it though. I have a nice backlog of lunches, so I can now launch a daily entry format without having to plug in the camera everyday. For some reason, I hate uploading and it was the only thing holding me back.



The Board



This is the only thing that allows me to pull off those lunches. I fill it out on sundays. It stare at it blankly each morning and actually get things done without needing too much brain power. If I didn't do this, the poor kiddo would probably starve!
