This post is partnered post with Lunchbox. All opinions are my own.

This is the fourth week back to school for my littles. Week one was a huge success despite my many months of worry, week two was absolutely horrendous because my youngest figured out this school thing was for real, and week three and four have continually improved.  I can honestly say we are all finally starting to get into a routine that works for everyone.

At the very beginning of last year I made a commitment with myself to make my littles a healthy lunch every day for school.  There have been a few times where that hasn’t been possible but for the most part, each and every day they get a meal that will fuel their bodies for the energy they need to learn.

They’ve talked me in to letting them buy lunch one day a week at school, which I’m okay with, because they still have to learn how to make healthy eating choices. I won’t be able to make their lunches forever and eventually they are going to have to make those decisions for themselves.

I know school is hard and it is challenging for their growing little bodies. When my children sit down at lunch, I want them to know just how special they are. In the midst of everything going on around them, I want them to know they are my world.

Sending little notes in their lunchboxes is super fun for all of us. I know they enjoy receiving them and I enjoy putting them in there.

To make it even easier, Nestle has launched a fun aspect to their website where you can create a note to put in the lunch of someone special.  They have made it super simple by giving you background choices, character choices and messages choices.  With just a few clicks of the mouse you can have a bright, colorful and uplifting note.

To make my notes last a little longer, after I printed them I ran them through the laminator and cut them down to size.  I can put the notes in their lunchboxes knowing that they’ll still be readable at lunch time.

Plus, every time you print a note, you can grab a coupon for $1 off Nesquik products!

    I make my grandson’s lunchbox special because I always cut his sandwich his favorite way and add a little dessert that I know he will love. I also will handwrite a note or draw a little picture for him!

    My son usually has school lunch, but he begs me from time to time for a packed lunch. so when I do pack him a lunch that alone is special for him. But I make sure he gets a special trat in his lunch.

    I made an ecard and it said: Hope your day is as cool as you! It had the school room background with a large cookie.

    I created an ecard.
    I always made sure I included something my kids really enjoyed in their lunches, like home baked cookies.

    I sometimes put a special treat in my sons lunch (candy, cookie etc). He doesn’t get one everyday so he loves it when he does.

    I put a Hershey’s Kiss in my daughter’s lunch everyday. I told her it’s my kiss for when I can’t be there in person.

    I try to make lunchboxes special by making sure they have their favorite foods packed in. Sometimes I’ll sneak in a mini candy bar or cookie too.

    I make their lunch! I think that’s special enough instead of sending them to school to eat the unhealthy stuff that they provide.
