Making School Lunch for a Kindergartener

When my daughter, Brooke, started school in September, it was very new and overwhelming for all of us. I didn’t know what to expect or, how she would adjust, and I constantly worried about her. More specifically, I would have thoughts on whether or not I gave her the perfect lunch, to keep her belly full for the rest of the school day.

I eventually got over that hump of anxiety and constant worrying about Brooke’s first year of school. It’s normal to feel that way and it’s very important to talk to other moms who are going through the same thing. You don’t have to feel alone.

School Lunchbox Snacks

At the beginning of the school year, I would pack way too much food in Brooke’s lunch. I was worried that she wasn’t eating enough. It took some trial and error to find out the right amount of food to give, remembering what she was eating and not eating, and offering her choices in the morning. Welch’s Fruit Rolls are always her first choice for making lunchtime a joyful experience and, for myself, it’s one less item to worry about when I make her lunch.

Motherhood isn’t perfect and lunches don’t have to be either. Just know that you are doing the best you can and you are doing a great job. As long as your child has all of the food groups offered to them, that’s what matters. As long as their lunchbox is full, way to go for providing them exactly what they need.

Don’t stress out about another lunchbox ever again.

And that’s it! Simple and easy lunchbox ideas that the kids are bound to enjoy. Keep in mind that I use a pink bento box for Brooke’s lunches because all I have to do is wash it instead of spending money on plastic bags. They are earth-friendly and a great investment that should last for years.

Welch’s Fruit Rolls

I can’t help but throw Welch’s Fruit Rolls in Brooke’s lunchbox every time because they’re such a fun snack that my daughters really enjoy. They are made with real fruit and I just love the compact packaging. They fit perfectly in Brooke’s lunchbox, in any compartment. I like to put the fruit rolls under the compartment with the flap so that she opens it and sees the surprise every time!

Not only does my whole family love the delicious taste but they have 100% daily value of Vitamin C and 25% daily value of vitamins A and E too. They are great for any occasion and we love them especially when travelling, making trips with the kids that much easier. You can find Welch’s Fruit Rolls at your local Walmart!

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Access to a huge selection of apps (400,000 TV shows and movies in Canada)
-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?
