Getting Back in the Swing of Things

I am sooooo schedule reliant! Having no calendar of activities during the summer throws me for such a big loop! Now that school is back in session, I'm feeling more centered.

I've been focusing on kicking-it-up-a-notch on the school lunch situation. I LOVE the bento box lunch trend. It has become a new addiction for me. Sadly my other "addictions" of scrapbooking and knitting have been put in the back of the closet for a later date. I am cruising all the cookbooks and bento/lunch box blogs I can get my hands (or eyes) on! My newest favorite blogs are:

Easy Lunchboxes

Kelly Lester, mom & CEO of Easy Lunchboxes has created some fabulous bento-y lunch boxes for the states. Check her out on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for some great recipes and ideas.

Family Fresh Cooking

Marla has oh, so many recipes and ideas to delight the lunchbox packing senses! And her food photography is amazing! Plus, you can sign a pledge to pack healthy lunches for 30 days...can you do it?

BentOnBetterLunches

This mom of 5 has some great ideas for your little ones needing portable lunches.

Am hoping to get the hang of the food photography part of the lunchbox packing. Will have to get my friend Erika (www.calliesportraits.com) to give me a few tips. I'm thinking that my biggest issue is my lighting in my house.

Ok, I've been ignoring my family long enough on this Saturday! Off to do some laundry and poke my kids as I go by...
