Bento #2

Still excited about the success of the first Bento attempt, I went for it again with the same positive response from my daughter! Fabulous!!

Cucumbers, orange bell pepper flowers, pumpernickel toasts, and dried cranberries.

My First Bento

My first go at a Bento style snack for my then 2 1/2 year old daughter was a success, and by success I mean that a very .. um.. let's call it selective little girl polished off her food happily for the first time in a long time!

Checkerboard Granny Smith apple, Trader Joe's veggie straws, American cheese, and strawberry fruit leather.

Starting Out

In the past year, I have seen so many fantastic blogs about crafts, homeschooling, creative lunches, delicious recipes, and so much more. Each of them inspired me in different ways and now I'm finally ready to give it a try myself to not only document my own fun (and failures), but also in the hope that I too can give inspiration and share ideas with someone new.

Look forward to my posts being mainly about bento style lunches and snacks, toddler activities and projects, recipe successes and failures, and a little bit of random craziness for good measure.
