I’m a Lunch Packing Mom!
6
August 24th, 2009ChitChat, Meal PlansI can’t believe we are starting the 4th week of school today! (yes, we start REALLY early here!)
As I said before, I am in love with doing all things “mom” and one of those things is being a Lunch Packer. We do keep the school menu on the fridge and every morning I announce what they are serving. They end up picking the cafeteria, maybe once a week (usually pizza day!) and the rest of the week, I pack.
I have done a variety of things including pasta, different sandwiches, yummy bagels and a fave…Lunchables! When I got the email from Mom Central asking if I would review the new Oscar Mayer Lunchables Lunch Combinations, I jumped on it. We are big fans of Lunchables. It’s easy for me to pack which gets a big thumbs up. I could pack the SAME thing in a mom made version and get no comments but that yellow Lunchables box gets them so excited, they love Lunchables!
Most days I like to pack a little this and that and I usually save the Lunchables for a day when I am in a hurry. Just grab it and go. Previously, I would buy the smaller Lunchables and usually have to add a drink and one more food item to the mix. But with the new Lunch Combinations, it’s ALL in one. Like seriously takes 10 seconds to pop it in the lunch bag! Love that!
I had my 10 year old try it out, she did a little squeal when she saw it because “that’s the one with the water and the drink packet”…I guess they were the talk of the lunch table before.
(fits perfectly in the lunch bag!)
We got the Ham & American Sub Sandwich Lunch Combination. It comes with a whole grain bread, lean ham, Kraft 2% American cheese, Sugar Free Jello-O, Chips Ahoy! cookies (yum!), a bottle of water and Tropical Punch Kool-Aid singles.
She loved her lunch and wants me to get more! Sounds like a success to me!
Super easy peasy lunch for mom to pack + Happy kid = A+ for Lunchables!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central on behalf of Oscar Mayer Lunchables and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

My daughter (Raina age 5) loves those luncables too. She thinks the drink with the packet is the coolest.

Hey! There is something about packing lunches for my kids that is so gratifing to me as a mom. Kind of like the smell of my craft room when it is filled with back to school supplies. Both make me smile! Hope you and your family have a good school year. We just started down here in Fl..crazy to think you started a whole month earlier!
Keep Blogging!!!! -

thanks for sharing the idea! I’ve got my first one starting school this year, and need all the ideas I can get! I’m just sad that his school dress code won’t allow him to wear any of his tote & tee shirts to school…
