It’s about time to shift gears into Back to School mode! Which means backpacks need to be washed, school supplies need to be purchased, and I need to get motivated to pack school lunches again! And nothing makes a mundane task a little more fun than new goodies! So, this week’s Giveaway is all about school lunches.

And instead of introducing you to just one great new resource to fall in love with. I’m introducing you to three!! So, here we go. Let me introduce you to…….

Lunchbox Love

The mission behind Lunchbox Love® serves a huge purpose that goes far beyond the lunchbox. It’s the idea of communicating to our kids that we love, respect, and honor them. This is the kind of daily reminder that is the perfect way to bring positive messaging into our children’s lives and those we love, especially when we cannot be there. Because a healthy lunch feeds the soul as much as the stomach.

  

Lunchbox Love Volumes 49-53

Lunchbox Love® – positive notes and fun trivia and jokes for your child’s lunchbox, backpack, binder, or pillow. Busy parents and caregivers will love this easy yet meaningful way to stay connected with their children throughout the school day. Positive words on the front inspire while fun trivia & jokes on the back entertain. Each volume contains 12 cards–10 with different phrases and fun facts or jokes and 2 blanks so you can add a personal message. 2 volumes of jokes and 6 volumes of fun facts.

Southern Yankee

Meet Jennifer of Southern Yankee. “It all started years and years ago.  My grandmother, Inez, learned to sew at a very young age. She then taught my mom, Nancy, when she was little.  My mom taught me and now I am teaching my daughter…. See a trend?  Over the years, I have had many “businesses”. But, it was Christmas of 1998 when my latest business took off! The only problem of starting a new company, is what do you name it? Mom asked, “What best describes you?” Well…. I was born & raised in Dallas, TX and married a Yankee…So, with a little help from my husband and 3 kids, I present to you Southern Yankee.

  

Reusable Snack Sacks

Never run out of those little plastics baggies again! Try these reusable bags for lunches and snacks! They are also great for small jewelry, makeup, and more! Approximate size is 6″x6″.  They are made with upcycled dress shirts, vintage chenille and vintage calendar towel barkcloth and all lined with rip-stop nylon.100% machine washable and dryable! What’s really special is these are all vintage/up-cycled materials. So you’ll get something similar to what’s in the picture above, but not exactly – that’s what makes it so fun!!!

My Square Meal

Let me introduce you to Ashely and Misty, aka “the Lunch Ladies”. Two former school teachers turned lunch-packing moms. “Our healthy, environmentally sustainable, and unconventional approach to packing our kids’ lunches led to the creation of My Square Meal. As teachers, we noticed how common it was for children to eat only a small portion of their meal (often just the chips and dessert) and throw away the rest. We decided that the best way to deliver a healthy and child-friendly meal for our own children was to pack a variety of foods in smaller quantities. After a great deal of searching, we were unable to find a compartmentalized box that would hod such a meal, much less one that we and our children deemed stylish enough to carry everyday to school. Our solution was a lunch box of our own design. My Square Meal.”

  

Lunch Bag with Bento Box

Three Cheers for the red, white, and blue!  This is a classic that will never go out of style. Blue and white check oil cloth with red grosgrain trim. Fully insulated. Lunch bag is approximately 9” X 9”. Compartmentalized bento and spork included.  Add a little personalization and have your child’s name embroidered on it by your favorite monogrammer.

 

Now comes the fun part…Entering! All you need to do is show these mom owned companies a little love.
