How I love a fall morning in the Pacific Northwest! I love it being cool enough to make a fire in the wood stove, and how much more enjoyable my coffee is when there's still a bit of a chill in the air and it's not quite light out yet. I love the fog that makes the world outside my window look soft and dreamy as it grows lighter. And I love the bright colours of the autumn leaves in contrast!
I put some leaves and warm fall colours in the girls' lunches :)
In the PlanetBox Shuttle, I packed Birdie some yogurt with sprinkles (and a happy little spoon to eat it with), strawberries, and mini peanut butter & cheddar sandwich leaves. Her cloth napkin's print is Peanuts characters playing in the leaves. In the little green Woodstock box she has one of her Hallowe'en candies for a treat. We love Snoopy & the Peanuts gang :)
Bella's PlanetBox Rover contains leaf-shaped turkey & cheddar quesadillas, Craisins dried cranberries, cranberry & sage Triscuit crackers, apple wedges, a tube of almonds, babble cheese, and a Hershey's Kiss treat.
It's nearly Thanksgiving, so I got out our Lunchbox Love for Thanksgiving, we had a few notes left from last year. They've added a 4th volume this year! Each volume of 12 notes features thoughtful quotes about gratitude on the front and fun interesting facts about Thanksgiving on the back.
There's still time to get some Lunchbox Love for Thanksgiving! Besides putting them in lunches, you could include one (or a set!) with hostess gifts, or even use them as place cards at Thanksgiving dinner :) And you can use my coupon code, BENTON, to save 15% :)
The note I added to Birdie's PlanetBox reminded me that it's about time to bring out my Little House books for Sprout!
Since it's Movember, I chose a moustache print napkin for Bella, which I packed atop her quesadillas & set her Lunchbox Love note on - I like to save & re-use the notes if they don't get food on them :)
The trivia on the flip side of Bella's note was fitting for her cranberry-filled lunch - it inspired me to add a leaf bento pick to her Babybel cheese :)
That orange tubular container the almonds are in is a repurposed mini M&M's tube! Fits perfectly in that section of the PlanetBox Rover.
Below are the spring-loaded pastry stamps I used to make the leaf mini sandwiches in Birdie's lunch. They make a great impression on the bread!
Do the colourful sprinkles on the yogurt look like autumn leaves to you?
I think they do... but they are actually turtles! They came in this Sea Accents sugar sprinkles assortment of marine creatures :)
Happy Fall, y'all!
