I've been quite occupied with Nikolai's school activities, exams etc lately, and I am so happy that Spring break starts tomorrow!

Usually we all discuss where we would like to go on vacation and then we always ended up going to wherever...

This coming weekend Nikolai and others from his gifted students class will be participating in the local STEM Solar Car Challenge. Getting him to and from their meetings for design, construction, and testing made less time available for other things, and I've been super busy in the evenings. I can't wait to see them in action this coming...

Happy St. Patrick's Day Bento Lunch

This will be a short post so with a little luck, I'll be able to post this lunch on St. Patrick's Day instead of after. While Nikolai is enjoying this lunch, my husband and I will probably be having lunch at an Irish restaurant. This lunch was packed in a Go Green Lunchbox. In this bento lunch: Top left: Clover shaped sandwiches (stacked)...

Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Piglet bento lunches (2)

Happy Monday! I hope y'all had a great weekend. I've been thinking that my days of packing Pooh and friends lunches may be numbered, hopefully not so much for the lunches but for sure the cute bento boxes. Nikolai is growing up so quick and boys' his age wanna be cool, he hasn't yet made any suggestion or request to that effect though, which...

Leftover Pizza For Lunch and Leftover Lasagna For Lunch (2)

Daylight savings time started a couple of days ago for many of us. For others, this is a ritual in which we have to move our clock forward one hour. It's always difficult for me to get used to this change which makes it so dark in the mornings and I dread to wake up. The only time I like to wake up when it is dark like that is when we are...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Bento, Breakfast For Lunch

As you may already know, we are huge fans of breakfast for lunch or breakfast for anytime of the day. In this bento I used mini pancakes to make a caterpillar. After arranging them into the basic shape, I added the fruit leather feet, which I made by cutting the fruit leather into several 'L' shapes with the alphabet set and then dividing...

Bear bento and Tortilla Pinwheels in New Bentgo Kids with Review (2)

I acquired a bentgo kids lunchbox last week and I've put it to use for these lunches. The second lunch became a real test especially to check out the leak-proof feature. The compartments were quite generously sized. The inner tray is removable for cleaning or possibly using alone at the table if you don't need to take it away from home. The...

Keroppi Bento and Homemade bread bento (2)

The other day, my friend gave us some mini bread that she made for which, according to her, there was no need to kneed. I am pretty clueless about bread making as I have never made or baked any bread before. I always imagined that it's sure to be labor intense! I would say that the bread was very tasty and Nikolai must have thought so too...

3 Easy Breakfast For Lunch

These breakfast for lunch were packed during the days that Nikolai had half days at school, I believe around a month ago. He loves Morning Star Farms veggie burgers and requested that I include them is his lunch. The first breakfast for lunch are mini pancakes. I separated the pancakes and the veggie burger with a baran sheet and included...
