Kidlet didn’t want to leave day camp yesterday. They have the half day option (9-1) that we chose, a full day option that goes until 5, and before and after care as well. Well, the full day kids were having a “field trip” yesterday to – of all places – a field (lol) where they […]
Day 2 of day camp for the kidlet. It’s actually been nice weather for several days in a row, which is fortunate since his camp is all outdoors 😉 Yesterday I just sent a laptop lunchbox; things were a little crazy in the morning, I wasn’t exactly sure where we were going (and it was a […]
I made up snack bento in the hopes that the weather would cooperate and we could get out and go somewhere. There was a single sunny day this week, and aside from that it continues gray, frequently wet and rainy. It doesn’t seem like summer – even Oregon summer isn’t usually this ugly. I think […]
One of the sites that I like to visit is Little Nummies.  Kellie has a brilliant way of looking at food, taking common kid friendly ingredients that most moms would have on hand and elevating them into something cute for children.  Her culinary creations aren’t usually something you can transalte directly to a bento, but I often […]
There are times when feeding the kidlet can be a trial. I get quite tired of hearing “I don’t like that” at dinner time (usually referring to some kind of non-processed, non-ground meat). On the other hand, when I asked him what he would like for lunch today he asked “Well, do we have any […]
Seriously, where does the time go? Just a minute ago I had this itty bitty baby and a sweet little preschooler, and the next thing you know, one is a toddler with 12 teeth and a ravenous appetite, and the other will officially be a grade schooler come fall. A grade schooler! I barely had […]
I can’t beleive that Kidlet’s kindergarten year is over. Things were a little teary all day!
No bento today. I woke up slowly to a gray day and couldn’t get myself up until the waking of kids compelled me to. Not much on the agenda for today. I did pick up some art literacy forms from the school that I want to re-do. The person that has been running it is done this […]
Here comes summer! Who is ready?! First, choose a container that suits the personality of the person who will be using the kit. It might be a traditional basket, since there are pie baskets made by hand to carry around pie and other foods, a large canvass bag, or even a small backpack. Next, use […]
Kidlet picked out colby-jack cheese this week at the deli counter and it made me think of a mottled goldfish we watched the last time we went to the pet shop, so it became a fish for todays lunch. Fish shaped tuna sandwich with cheese topper (I just got these new hat picks, so cute! ;)), hard […]
