It's not easy to stay inspired about making your kids lunch day after day, is it?
Rock the Lunchbox is a great resource for those of us who are tired of trying to dream up exciting new lunches to pack for our kiddos.
I was challenged by the site to ask my child to draw their "Dream Lunch" and then turn it into a more nutritious lunch, using some of our favorite organic and natural lunch / snack brands - like Annie's Homegrown, Applegate, Honest Kids, etc.

Well, my three year old either knew what was going on, or she's just THAT wise.
She chose to draw herself eating an apple and a cracker. Now that didn't give me much to work with.
Oh, well.
Being that we had just been to the farmer's market, my daughter helped me choose some of her favorite items for a healthy lunch.
- Fresh, organic carrots with hummus dip
- PB & J on Rudi's White Bread
- Fresh Mozzarella Balls
- Figs from the Farmer's Market
- Annie's Bunny Fruit Snacks
- Stonyfield YoKids Yogurt
- Honest Kids Berry Berry Good Lemonade
Check out this new Bento Lunchbox by Laptop Lunches (pictured above), I love how each little food gets its own compartment. My daughter loved all the different colors, and finding which foods fit in which boxes.
Laptop Lunches Bento Boxes are recyclable, reusable, BPA & Lead Free, totally eco-friendly so you can feel good that your child's (or your own) food is safe and secure.
Many of the compartments come with lids as well, so you can keep each lunch item from spilling out onto the others.
You know, according to a national survey, finding variety in packing school lunches is the biggest challenge for parents. Plus, 53% of kids reported they have the same items in their lunch every day!
B-O-R-I-N-G!
