September: Lunchbox Lusciousness

I think we found out what the women of the Coal Creek ward are doing most of the time in their kitchens--making lunches for their kids--because we had upwards of 16 people at the most recent cooking club meeting! Some great ideas were shared for getting out of the PBJ rut, and for making lunchtime at school more fun for kids. Several moms like to stick a note in with lunch, and some like to include a riddle, or fold the letter into a cute origami form. The links below will help you find fun things to include in lunchtime love letters, and how to make them into cats, cranes, cars, etc.
