One Great Idea to Simplify the School Lunch Making Process

Making school lunches can be an extremely repetitive and frustrating task. I know this because I was appointed the lunch maker for all my kids for the last 6 plus years. I know the feeling. Every evening you are about to get into bed and then you just remembered that you forgot to make the kids lunches. Now for me this doesnt happen every night but it does happen often enough that I remember just as I am about to get ready for bed.

The most frustrating part of making lunches isnt actually the work as much as it is trying to figure what the kids want to eat. Usually there are a few options for lunch making:

1. Have the kids make their own lunches. (This happens in fairy tales and perfect families. These types of families dont read blogs like this. Well because they are perfect. Not it mine!)

2. Make the same boring lunch every day. This is usually one of the three: 1. peanut butter and bread 2. Cream cheese and bread 3. PB&J.

3. Give the kids a bread roll or a couple of slices and bread and thats it. Enjoy! Yum!!

I recently came across a very important article and felt the need to post it immediately.

According to an article written by Mario Vittone for Slate.com:

Drive 5km / 5mph Slower and Save More Lives

Driving 5km slower can literally be the difference between life and death. I am not suggesting that you drive 5km below the speed but rather not to drive 5km over the speed limit. There is a reason why the speed limit is what it is in the US and Canada. Studies take into account the response time and the distance to stop that is needed in the event of sudden braking.
