The Beginner’s Guide To Great Bento box Lunch Ideas & Tips!

January 13, 2020 Comment : 1

Since transitioning into a new school system, we’ve been packing lunch everyday! At the boys’ previous academy lunch was provided and definitely the last thing on my mind… I can’t say that I dreamed of the day, but it’s been a lot easier than I thought. With the move, I know that being able to make lunch and leave special encouraging notes have helped our devleoping routine. After some good Pinterest research I found that bento lunch boxes are the best lunch hack out there! So of course I had to share my favorite bento box lunch ideas and schedules I’ve found so far!

Kai is slightly picky when it comes to lunch and I find that less/bite sized portions seem to suit him best. With that, I’ve had to become resourceful in how to give him a full meal AND make sure he eats it.

What’s a Bento Lunchbox?

Though we’ve seen this style of packing lunch, what exactly is it? Bento lunch boxes are convenient, safe, and fun ways to pack your child a lunch they’ll enjoy eating (via Kangovou). The difference with bento box lunch ideas is these aspects:

  • Compartments
  • Eco-Friendly food options
  • Insultated boxes
  • Creative ways to pack food!
  • Bento box lunch container materials are safe

Here’s a great round up of bento box lunch ideas!

So below are a few of my go-to Pinterest pins that have helped me tremendously! I hope they’re helpful to you as well, and if you’re on Pinterest let me know! I’m always looking for more friends and boards to glean ideas from.

Let’s talk about shame... When the Lord started Let’s talk about shame...

When the Lord started walking me through how my approach to correcting behavior started to look more like shaming... it was humbling and convicting. 

Many times my desire to correct overrides any opportunity to understand and walk through the challenge together. 

When I yell, dismiss, or even explode at what they shouldn’t be doing - I communicate shame rather than offering wise counsel. Especially with abstract concepts that deal with the heart like lying, pride, anger...

It hit me most when I yelled at my angry child for lashing out 👀 - as I watched myself I felt the Lord nudge me with how can you correct sin while sinning? 

... oh the embarrassment, but the chance to do better.

Quieting my own self and taking it in, because conviction makes room for growth not shame. 

I’ve asked the Lord more and more to calm my voice with the intent of allowing true change as I parent. Praying my heart is bent more to seeing how God restores and transforms our behaviors to reflect true goodness. Rather than a God who shames as they see me shame them. #christinmotherhood

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
