April Fool's Day - Happy Monday!

Since tomorrow is April Fool's Day I thought I'd post a video I found on YouTube of a great prank a son played on his dad.  Hilarious and clever!!!


 
Happy Monday!!

Easy Lunchboxes

At my house, we are packing lunches every day.  Joe packs his lunch at least four days a week and Ethan takes his lunchbox to school almost always.  It's way cheaper than buying lunch every day and usually healthier too.  But like most people, I get in a rut and usually pack the same thing every day.  So a few weeks back I was searching the web for some healthy, new options to spice up Ethan's lunches.  I came across this website www.easylunchboxes.com which has hundreds (yes, I said hundreds) of lunch ideas that are great for kids as well as adults.  That's also where I saw the Easy Lunchbox products.  Reusable plastic containers with separate compartments for your food that fit easily into pretty much any lunchbox.  That right there got me excited as I briefly pictured a life without using those plastic sandwich bags that take up way too much drawer space and probably more times than not aren't getting put into a recycle bin at school.  So, I headed on over to Amazon.com to check out prices and reviews.  The reviews were great and so was the price (free shipping for Amazon Prime members, woo-hoo!).  I snagged a set of the 3-Compartment Bento Lunchbox Containers,


two of the Insulated Lunchboxes,




 as well as a set of the Fit & Fresh Cool Coolers Ice Packs.




All for around $37!!  Everything fits perfectly into the lunchboxes with plenty of  room for other things like water bottles, eating utensils, or a grab and go snack.  Less space, less cost, less waste and less time?  Yes, please!!
