    Hey! So grateful for you still posting even while sick! Hopefully you're taking some time to care for yourself and recover. 🤍 for cupcakes in a lunchbox, I typically add in 2 or 3 toothpicks to the top so it's snugly fit in the container and there's no room for it to tip upside down (the lid would just hit the toothpicks then and not the icing). You could also add toothpicks to the side so it won't slip back and forth if needed!

    Hope your feeling well. I use to send the lunchable to school with my Son but almost everything in them had the red #40 food dye which we found out is what was making him bounce off the walls. So I had to pack a homemade lunchable. Basically all I had to do was change the drinks and the candy. All the drinks have the #40 dye in them at least they did back then. I actually called the company and asked why can't they put something else in there for the drink. He didn't usually eat the candy so didn't have to worry about it to much. He liked the Nutri grain bars. We called them candy bars. 🤣 He was so young he didn't know the difference. To this day he don't eat many sweets. Which I don't either.

If you buy a thermal, put hot water in the thermal a good 15 minutes before your child leaves for school, you then dump the water and put what ever you plan to fill the thermal with. The lunches will not be extremely hot, but luke warm. We normal do a thermal about twice a week, with hot dogs and Mac & cheese, or soup. For like pizza, or nuggets we put a paper towel in the thermal for the moisture.

    I wish my 6 year old would touch even half of those meals. He is very adamant about having a pb&j as his main course every single day. He is also the kid that won’t touch anything meat, so the struggle is real. Definitely don’t be hard on yourself for relying on convenient foods. Like you said, your kids are fed so that’s a great mom in my book! Plus, I feel it’s always a great memory for kids to think back on their school days and how awesome their lunches were!

    Hope your feeling a lot better. Great lunches for the kids. Definitely going to keep these in mind for my grandchildren.

    Love your videos. Your voice is so soothing thats the only reason i watch because you use alot of oven and mine does not work. But you have great ideas!!! As for the chocolate milks Sams club has mini nesquick ones.
