Guest Groups: Creative Ways to Pack School Lunches
The school year starts at a little over a week for my 7-year-old, and also the age-old question starts again: “Am I a packer or a buyer?” She really does love to bring a packed lunch, and that I like to create the meal fun for her when I can. There are loads of trendy containers, organizers and gadgets out there nowadays to help me do so. Listed below are a few of my favorites (for her and for me)! — Liza from (a)Musing Foodie
