2015 Bento Lunches 76- 87 #Takeittuesday

Welcome once again to another Take It Tuesday! How is lunch packing going for you all? It's going well here. I find that things are much easier if I plan lunches around leftovers, and on days there won't be leftovers I plan something quick and easy. What about you all? Do you meal plan? Just dinner? All meals? I usually plan dinners and lunches.

Here are some lunches we've packed (all of these lunches are from the last school year) -

Lunches #212-227 Take It Tuesday

Happy Take It Tuesday everyone! Here are some lunches for you. This whole batch seems to be a huge blur. I apologize, but you get the idea. I hope that you are having a fantastic school year, for those that are in school or have family members in school. The weather here has been gorgeous! Fall is here for sure, we've already raked leaves TWICE :o ! What about you? Have you had to rake leaves? Or do you live in a place where you don't have to deal with the leaves? I don't mind the first few times. After that it gets a little bit annoying. Still Fall has to be my favorite season. Have a blessed week!

Here are some lunches for you-

Lunches #191-211 Take it Tuesday

Hello!! Welcome to Take It Tuesday! I am obviously very behind on posting lunches. But I'll get them up slowly. These won't be in order but they will be posted. How are you all doing this year? Are you packing lunches for yourself  or loved ones? I must say I don't do fancy lunches, but I really do enjoy packing lunches. It's fun for me, it's not a chore. When it gets to be so, my kids buy and I get in a rut. It happens but more often than not, I love packing lunches. Some moms love to knit, sew, decorate, etc for their families. I love being in the kitchen and I love preparing meals and making lunches. I hope that through doing what I love, I can inspire you all to do what you love!

2014 Lunches 33-51

Oh my, I'm so back logged on lunches and all posts in general. I just am. I was already behind after the New Year, then I was away on a family emergency for a week last month. It has been so hard for me to get back into the swing of things. I do find I get into these ruts, but I don't know. This rut seems to be longer than most. The whole Facebook changes debacle doesn't make it any better either. I do miss interacting with you all on Facebook, but with all the changes less and less people see posts on there. I am not very active on google + either. Where do you all find you interact most with bloggers and readers of your blog? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Also did you know that I have a giveaway up right now? Please check it out, enter, and share. I'd appreciate it! Thanks so much. Here's the link.

2014 Lunches/Bentos 13-27 Take It Tuesday

 Lunches, lunches, lunches.
Here we go, I first have some fun news for you! I mentioned last week that I wanted some easy boxes to pack for the girls, boxes that were airtight, very minimal pieces. Well, I'm pleased to announce that I'm a YUMBOX affiliate! I'm quite excited, they have leak proof boxes for when I want to pack yogurt and such. Just two pieces to wash, and easy to pack. Which is what I love about the Planetboxes. Don't get me wrong I love bento boxes, but I'm not creative with packing lunches and making everything fit nicely. So I like compartments. They are easy and fast.
Hopefully you'll be seeing a lunch or two packed in Yumboxes so I can give a good review, I need to order mine still. Until then, If you are in the market for a YUMBOX I would be so blessed if you would use my affiliate link to purchase, you can click here to get to there site.
