Don't they deserve a healthy homemade school lunch?
F or most of us, school mornings are a mad house. A hectic schedule of eat your breakfast, get dressed, brush your teeth and many sibling battles along the way.
You know what I mean “Mom, she won’t stop annoying me, well Mom he wont give me the cereal” and the baby is crying from all the yelling. Does this sound familiar?
At this stage nobody has their uniform on yet, let alone found their school bag, or their hat and meanwhile mom is throwing together something for school lunches and time is slipping away.
The opposite is true too of course. Many kids get up each morning nice and happy, loving their siblings, and get ready without any dramas; allowing mom to pack them a nice homemade school lunch – however this not as common.
