Bento Goodness: Dinosaur Sandwhiches

Hey everyone!

Hope you all are adjusting to the kiddos being back to school...It's been a fun 3 days here and Lance is really enjoying school. I'm so proud of him and myself...myself in the fact that I haven't completely broken down and gone crazy that my baby is in school now! LOL...I'm looking forward to today's lunch because my hubby & I are taking the other 2 kiddos to school to share a Bento Lunch with Lance and his class!!! I so can't wait!

Here's what we are all having for lunch today:

Dinosaur Sandwich's {Ham & Cheese}
Orange Slices
Trail Mix
Chocolate Milk

Total Cost per serving:  $1.46

I got the chocolate milk on clearance, which ended up being really good for my final price!!! Gotta keep packed lunches cost effective as well as nutritious if I'm going to make this work! So far, I've saved $3.25 on 3 days of packing Lance's lunch and his meals have been fun and nutritious!  I'm getting super addicted to this stuff! LOL...

On another note...I've had a few stamp sets come out today with Your Next Stamp!!! Here's this month's releases from me, but be sure to stop on over to their site and check out everything they have to offer!

I absolutely love Karen from YNS and the fact that I get to work out of my home to help support my family! I am truly blessed to have Karen and Gina K. in my life and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else or doing anything else! Definitely one blessed cookie over here!!!

Bento Goodness: Peanut Butter Roll-Ups

Hey everyone!

Yesterday was a nerve racking day to say the least. I went to the gym, did some illustration work, played with my other 2 kiddos, but still about an hour before Lance was to come home for the day, I kept glancing at the clock and litterally, that was the LONGEST hour ever! I swear! LOL...He finally came home, and then went right next door to play with the neighbor kids {let him play there for 30 min}...when he finally told me about his day, he was very excited and had a wonderful time. Couldn't remember much or any friends he made...but he couldn't wait to go back today! LOL...

Here's what Lance had for lunch today:

Peanut Butter Roll-Ups
Pear Cup
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Dragon Carrot Slices
Lemonade Caprison

Total Cost:  $1.44
{the carrots are from my garden, they were literally less than 1 penny, so I didn't count those in my price, and if you haven't heard of Dragon Carrots before, they are a red carrot, with orange & yellow centers, taste just like regular carrots, just really fun to look at and say! LOL...}

Roll-up tutorial:

Take your bread slices & cut the crusts off...

Roll your bread flat with a rolling pin... 

Spread with topping, you can use peanut butter & jelly, I just used peanut butter... 

Roll the bread up... 

Slice and serve...makes for an excellent snack as well!!! 

**If you are just starting out like I am with packed lunches, these containers from Easy Lunchbox are absolutely SUPER easy to use and very affordable! You get a set of 4 for $13.95!!! I'm in love with mine!!!
