Almost every day on Facebook I share the school lunches that I pack for my daughters and almost every day there are a lot of questions about these lunches. Everything from “Where did you get that container?” to “Can I get that recipe?” to “Where’s the protein?” But lately I’ve been noticing quite a few questions asking what these carefully prepared lunches actually look like come lunchtime – especially after they’ve been tossed all around while in their backpacks and since “liquidy” foods like yogurt or applesauce are involved. Let’s face it, no child keeps their lunch bag or box in one perfect position all day, and that is certainly something I would never expect of my own children. So when I was having lunch with my daughter at school yesterday I (risked looking like a lunatic and) took a bunch of pictures for you! :)
So that’s all there is to it! And since I know some will be wondering :) ….
- Those are Ziploc brand divided lunch containers – super cheap, lightweight, BPA-free, and available online. I have no relationship with Ziploc whatsoever. We just really like these lunch boxes.
- I got the muffin cups here. Here are the Thermos cup, the flexible ice blanket, and the fun character ice pack.
- I bought the fun toothpicks at Party City, although I’ve found cute ones at several different places including Martha Stewart Crafts, and cute Meri Meri Toot Sweet Cupcake Picks.
- The lunch bag is by Lands End and we have the matching backpack that goes with it. This is the brand my older daughter has been using for almost 3 years now and it is still holding up great.

I bought the same container for my son as you guys and love it. However just watched a Facebook live from another blogger and use of plastic. Now I worry!
Ok where is the cute napkin from?
Hello. You can find similar reversible napkins on Etsy.
Primal Pit Paste is a fabulous product! Just ordered my second batch, one jar, one stick. I like that it comes unscented, and it works so much better for me than the “industrialized” deodorant. Another product I found on this website is Branch Basics cleaning soap. It was 25% off for Earth Day so I was able to order the large starter kit. I could not believe how it cleaned my (very dirty) bathroom floor in minutes and then I could use the same solution to wash my hands. This product is the best I’ve ever seen in plant-based cleaning products. Just mix with water. INCREDIBLE!! Thanks, Lisa for sharing products that you try out then review!!!
