Skinny Minis for everything else--especially one for every component of the lunchbox.

Oh, I have been coveting those laptop lunchboxes! I just haven't gotten the guts to spend the money on something my boys might throw away! I lost so much tupperware last year... sigh....
ReplyDeleteLove the labels! Such a good idea even for kids without allergies!
LOVE Mabels labels. We have a set and they really stick, even through the dishwasher, rain and snow and constant abuse.
ReplyDeleteI like those lunch boxes too. They're a tad pricey though, considering we've never made it more than one school year with a lunch box.
My Boy has that lunchbox, too! Although his is not pink. He hasn't lost a single piece of it, and he's a forgetful little guy - the way everything fits in like a puzzle really seems to encourage him to keep it together (although you CAN buy replacement containors for 50 cents, so don't worry too much.).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beck. I'll stop being defensive now.
ReplyDeletei got tired of my son throwing away tupperware so i started putting post-its that said "dont throw me away please" on all the tupperware.
ReplyDeleteit helped get him into the habit of not trashing the containers.
Thanks for posting the labels - I've been looking for these for when go somewhere where the caregivers don't know our kids. We don't have 1st response allergies, but avoid wheat, eggs, pastuerized milk, peanut, and soy due to sensitivities. I love finding other blogs where parents are being strong advocates for their children with food problems! Nice to meet you!

That's a very neat lunch box set. I don't have to brave lunches until next year for Kayla. She's still half days this year. I just don't think about that yet though. ;)
