The kids are back in school and trying to deal with settling into their fall routines, but what they don’t know is that we are struggling just as hard to get back into our carpooling, lunch-packing, homework-monitoring routines. Among all the battles fought and chosen during this time of transition, there’s one we don’t want to take off our (literal) plate: healthy eating habits. So, our friend Dzung from Honeysuckle clued us into some seriously sanity-saving lunch box ideas to help give us all one less thing to worry about in the morning.
1) The Kiddie Box

2) The Happy Hour Snack Pack
Perfect for recess or before soccer practice, this snack box is designed to keep kids full and energetic. The mini stuffed peppers are sure to become a healthy treat your kids actually ask for.
