    Thank you, Tracy! Just the inspiration I need – my kids started school a week ago, 4th and 7th grade.

    I actually made a list of school lunchbox ideas with them before school started, similar to the one you made for Cooper a couple of years back in that school lunch ideas post. I put it up on one of our kitchen cabinets so we just have to look up for inspiration. I usually do this every half year to keep up with their current favourites. 🙂 Thank you so much!

    Wishing Cooper a good start of term!
