School Lunch Hacks
Are you getting ready for the early alarm? The laying out of clothes the night before? The Back to School season? We are hearing the first bell and looking for ways to make school lunches easier. Below are some creative ideas to make the best of your child’s lunchbox. Creative, crafty, and why didn’t I think of that ideas!

Whatever needs to remain cold, I keep in the refrigerator overnight in a “lunch” bin so that it can easily be added to their box in the morning!
