Lunchbox Love Review + Three Little Birds Bento

I'm a little bit in love with this Three Little Birds bento I made for Birdie.


My youngest got her nickname from the sweet little chirping sound she likes to make ♥ And the sproutlets & I all love that Bob Marley song:
Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, “This is my message to you-ou-ou”
I thought it was the perfect bento for my Lunchbox Love review!

Birdie's bento box is packed with apple wedges, a cheddar sun, yellow & white cheddar birds atop a sandwich made with the cheese scraps, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries & canteloupe. Pretend you don't notice the notes are backwards - I didn't until someone who can actually read music told me!
Each brightly coloured Lunchbox Love note card delivers a special message on one side, and either a fun fact or a silly joke on the other :) 

And every card has a cute little bird too! 

I love our Lunchbox Love notes. They're such a cute & easy way to add a little fun to my kidlet's school day. My 10 year old looks forwards to getting a Lunchbox Love note with her lunch, in fact, she tells me her whole table enjoys them, and even one of her school's "lunch ladies" often comes over to find out what trivia or joke was on that day's note card :)

Sometimes the sentiment or trivia even fits in with the lunch!

Friday's butterfly themed lunch contained cucumber :)


My World Animal Day bento had a crocodile theme:


This Lunchbox Love note was perfect for Earth Day!


I don't always make a creative lunch though, some days I just don't feel inspired, or I'm running late and don't have time to do much more than toss in some fruits, veggies, and a nutrition bar. Adding a Lunchbox Love note only takes a moment and makes even a plain lunch look special :)

 

Lunchbox Love Notes aren't just for kids! I often slip one into my husband's work lunch or jacket pocket! There are even card sets made especially for grown-up loved ones, co-workers, and friends :) I even tucked one into a care package full of snacks when my Sailor Boy was deployed:


The Lunchbox Love lasts beyond lunch :)

Once my Bella's read her Lunchbox Love note, she sometimes shares the love by giving it away to a school friend ♥ Sometimes she brings them home so I can reuse them for one of the other sproutlets' lunches. And sometimes she keeps them as a memento. They make great bookmarks!

  6. I would love to slip a card into my boyfriend's pocket when he goes to work since he has been working so hard lately to get a project done and feels like no one at work even looks at him. Or to slip under the door of my downstairs neighbor who has had some troubles with her husband to cheer up her day.

  17. My beloved Elder. None of the minions can read more than a few words. The ones I pack for can't read yet. The Elder can (Or he had better be able to!) Give the ladies at the office something new to look at besides what he has to eat. lol

    1. Rose! Their teachers can read them. It's a lot of fun for the teacher, YOUR kiddo, and the other kiddos to read/hear your special message and the trivia or joke!

  50. I'd love to add these to my son's lunches. He hasn't reached that age yet where he's embarrassed by mommy giving him kisses in public or doing sweet little things like this for him. So I need to take advantage of it while I can! :)
