Why Do I Bento?   1.  Health.  Better control over your childs diet.  You know what’s in it, and can make sure you are packing a nutritionly sound meal that your child will eat.  You can’t necessarily count on your school providing that.  My kidlet is only in Kindergarten and although there is a healthy […]

Happy Friday!  Egg salad sandwich (the kidlet calls them “deviled egg sandwiches”), plum, blackberries, apple, wavy carrot fries, broccoli, peas in a plastic broken-eggshell shaped cup, a little raspberry vinaigrette for his peas and my first ham flower (its a little raggedty).  The hen, chicks, and “cluck” are done in cheese with black sesame seed […]

I am not real thrilled with today’s bento entry. I had no time last night for any elaborate prep; we had a school picnic followed immediately by the years first PTA meeting. It was after kidlets bedtime before we got out of there, baby L was tired, screaming, and would only calm and sleep by […]

I haven’t planned out my meals in a long time, which is why my food spending is about 3 times what I’d like my food budget to be.  I also end up throwing away a lot of food –  sinful amounts of produce, freezer burnt foods, even occasionally meat in the fridge I’ve bought and then don’t end […]

I got almost everything done that I wanted.  I didn’t get things cleaned up as much as I’d like though.  It’s just still so difficult since Baby L doesn’t want to be set down, even when napping.  I did get my freezers and pantry inventoried and about have my meal plan done.  I think I’ll […]

Nothing planned this weekend.  My life is bound to get busier.  There’s a school picnic, a PTA meeting, and a volunteer training this week.  So this weekend I want to clean up a little, work on my weekly meal plan, hit the grocery, and otherwise relax with my family. I do expect to have my […]

If you have a child, you might know the story “The Kissing Hand”.  it’s about a raccoon headed for his first day of school.  To help him conquer his fears, his mom kisses his palm, so he can look at it and be reminded that she loves him.  We read the story again last night […]

Kindergarten looms ever closer.  We visited the school  on Wednesday, for kindergarten assessment.  We should find out a couple of days before he starts which classroom will be his.  I have to wonder what exactly they were assessing since we weren’t allowed in the room.  And what will they DO with the assessment?  Do they […]

Hanging in there at the moment.  Baby L is nearing three months old, but still has no regular schedule, is incredibly demaning,  and won’t even sleep without human contact for very long.  No matter how deeply asleep she seems, you set her down and in moments she’ll be stirring, fussing, and letting you know she […]
