Unicorns and Rainbows

Somehow unicorns remind me of grade school in the ’80s. My Trapper Keeper was loaded with puffy stickers, hologram and scratch & sniff stickers and Garfield sketches. I’m sure they’ll remind my kids of something else, but for me I have vivid memories of my feathered hair and ankle zip Jordache  jean days.

Bentoriffic Rainbow Unicorn in ELBMiss G’s dreamy unicorn is on Pepperidge Farms Dark Whole Wheat bread.  I used a cookie cutter to make it & filled it with Justin’s Almond Butter and jam.  I found the killer unicorn picks at Target.  They’re actually corn holders!  Just have to have the bento eye to find these things.  I put blueberries on the unis near the sandwich.  In the top of her Easy Lunchboxes are strawberries and raspberries.

Miss A (3) has the smaller, sugar filled version of her unicorn.  I’m not a fan of the sugared sprinkles so this is NOT normal for my lunches.  I spread a bit of agave on the top to make the sprinkles stick.  Her sandwich is also almond butter and jam on whole wheat bread.  With pineapple, strawberries and raspberries and her rainbow unicorn picks in her LunchBots stainless bento box.

Every day is beach themed when you live in Florida.  My kids love checking out the local aquarium, seeing the fostered sea turtle and running around chasing seagulls in the sand.  Miss A’s preschool does a lot of Under the Sea themed crafts and lessons.  We never see whales so I decided to put a Continue Reading »

Stamped mini sandwiches

Last week was just one of those weeks.  Despite the gorgeous weather, we had a number of power outages, failed internet and my Instagram update locked my iPhone (which is still not working!).  Ah well, I’m sure you managed to make lunch without me!  Hoping everyone had a fantastic, low key mother’s day. Miss G, Continue Reading »

Waffle flowers and a smiley face

I promise I’ve been feeding my kids even though I haven’t posted in a few days.  Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging.  Van’s mini waffles saved the day this week.  I toast them & make mini sandwiches out of them.   Miss G (5 years old) has 3 waffle flower sandwiches.  Hers are Continue Reading »
