I opened Diego's lunch box today to find a small container of what was left of veggies with dressing from Monday when his Nana packed his lunch. I started thinking, that is what I needed. Small container. I am so tired of buying lunch bags. Bad for the environment, using 2 or more per day. They bring home the plastic ware, they should be trusted. I will use foil for the the sandwiches.
My issue is where to put them. My daughter, Krystal, is usually the one to put the dishes away. (Eric and I like to wash but not put away) and IF she would put them where they go all would be fine.
Why does it seem as though I have eight thousand lids and no bottoms to match?
I think I might get a few, they are so cheap anyway and see how it goes. Should be cheaper in the long run too!
I would suggest color coding the containers. Get Diego one color and Siobhan another. I do this for my kids and it works. Tell Krystal to put them away in the lunch bags so when you go to make the lunches they are there.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about plastic baggies.
Andrea might know of some good containers......

Oh dear this word accasms makes me think of something else!
I did this a while back and love not having to use baggies. We got cute little sandwich containers too(I think I found them at Walmart) , my kids love them.
