Surprisingly enough our first week of school went really well. How was your first week back?

[@zpuggyqcpa_puggg2725]

Cool Calm and Mom Pretty good

[@havingfunkids8386]

Cool Calm and Mom Hi i like your video so far new in seeing them. Answer to your question. My first week was really motivated by seeing some of your meals that you did for your kids and other ideas. It was a bit hard i have to make myself get up at 5:30 am in order to get all 6 meals done on time. But so far it is good.

[@schooldayslunches5854]

Success on the lunch front! LOL, my daughter enjoyed the lunches I packed!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

havingfun kids That was such a nice compliment. So glad to hear my videos are being helpful to you. I think after becoming mom our sleep it not really ours. Haha. You are a great mom for getting up so early. 👏🏼

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

SchoolDays yay! That's all we strive for right. 😂

[@Jaii.niicolee]

I like how you show what they eat after school and before

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Jaime Green thanks. That's like a major request. Sometimes I feel I am wasting viewers time by showing employ boxes but it helps people see I think what kids actually like

[@Jaii.niicolee]

Cool Calm and Mom your welcome

[@ndancer1237]

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Newman Family Vlogs thanks much! I hope they enjoy their new classes and taking lunch will be fun. 😊

[@Tanya.S.Wellness]

What container do you use to keep the pasta warm in?? LOVE your videos!!

[@xoj716]

The chicken patty sandwich looks so good 🤤 you should make videos of how you cook the food. Your dishes look soooo good.

[@janeclay1917]

What a great variety of lunches! I must admit, though, it was the chickpea curry I really fancied.

[@thewadsquad]

Oh my word your oldest son 😂😂😂🎉🎉

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

THE WADS I know. Enjoy them little as much as you can before they get a mind of their own. He just refused to take a picture 😳

[@ItsLilFergie]

I love watching back to school videos even though I am not going back to school haha but great ideas!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

TheChowDown thanks so much.

[@user-sj2rp4qw9k]

I'm subscribing right away

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Aqsa Moshin thanks so much

[@judybakes22]

I love your videos! Happy 1st week of school! Looking forward to seeing the chicken patty recipes.. will look for those snack cookies and bars! TFS!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Thanks so much Judy!

[@katrinakwofie2342]

Just found you looking for ideas for 2 year old lunches but in the uk so might not be able to get these things xx

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Katrina Kwofie you mean the containers? Hope something was helpful 😊

[@icedmatchalattegirl]

You are a great mother! Lucky kids.

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

K M aww that's really sweet of you. Am moms we all try to do the best we can. Every mom is special!

[@icedmatchalattegirl]

i agree! I am only 18 but my love for mothers is so big because without y'all, nobody would be who they are today! I can't wait to earn the title "Mom" one day❤️

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

That truly made my day! I am sure you will be a great mom!

[@yvettebarnett6841]

I love your ideas! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your recipes! Combining the strawberries and corn can/have one overpowered the other? Taste? Something's you put together the taste can be a little altered. Hope I didn't confuse you.

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Yvette Barnett Haha. Yes for me too but my kids wanted to take strawberries that day for fruit and they didn't mind eating it. Thanks so much for your support. 😊

[@MrAhlamber]

Could you please make videos of how you actually prepare those breakfasts, and when? On the morning or the night before?

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

SLP yes. I am planning on a pack lunch with me video soon. Since my kids hardly take cold sandwiches I pack in morning.

[@JHCWillis]

Please film more recipe videos. Like the chick pea curry. Where is the best place to get good curry seasoning?

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Jeanette Hiteshew I will be including quick recipes in my dinner videos now. As far as seasoning you will see those soon in a pantry reorganization video 😊

[@ProjectAZrunway]

How do you get ur kids to finish all their lunches?!?! Amazing! Love ur lunch videos! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

ProjectAZrunway honestly I don't think I over pack. I have been amazed to see other videos and how much is packed in kids lunches. And by the time they eat lunch they get hungry. Both elementary kids have snack after lunch which is crazy to me.

[@CapricornQueen80]

I love when the children eat what I packed

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

EverythingImani I know. Same here. 😊Thanks for watching

[@Vmgforever]

u should do videos again i hope u do

[@xsavalos]

How do u keep this warm or cold? Bags u use to transport,etc would be helpful as well.

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Sonia Avalos if you see my previous videos you will see lunch bags behind their lunch container. But it just used to take more space on counter when filming. But I will start including those again.

[@cynthiamaybunya4622]

[@hishamiyub4755]

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

[@user-cc5tm3ur1v]

I like it you’re Chanel 😇👍🏻from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

[@jl-uc4tx]

I hope you don't mind me saying this but I love your accent ! I also love your grocery store hauls 👍👍 Curry looks delicious 😊

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

j l of course not. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed 😊

[@conesha25]

Do the chicken sandwiches get soggy?

[@torikellyfan9882]

These lunches look delicious :) I get tired of making sandwiches everyday lol

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Thanks, and I agree. I try to give them on hot lunch at least just for a change. :)

[@minicufer]

Hi! I was wondering, what type of lunchbag your 10th grader use?

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

keroppi he takes a simple black one from container store. I have shown in videos before but will include in next week's again. 😊. Thanks for watching.

[@user-sj2rp4qw9k]

Plz share pasta recepie

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Aqsa Moshin sure. I will soon. Thanks for watching.

[@silvrgurrl7844]

Hi, You're such a good mom! Thank you for all the great lunch ideas. Would love some of your dinner recipes, if you're willing to share! I LOVE Indian food. Chicken Tikka Masala is my favorite. I have a neighbor who is always cooking delicious-smelling Indian food, and I want to ask her to teach me! I'm not sure what your ethnic background is (so I hope I'm not being offensive), but your food always looks so yummy. I'd love to learn to make some dishes like that, and to encourage my kids to try foods from different cultures. Thank you for your time in making these videos!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

silvrgurrl * thanks so much. I will be including recipes and more dinner videos soon. I am from Pakistan and want my kids to experience our cultural food. Hopefully one day they can make for their families as well. 😊

[@karenmiller904]

Check the sodium content on those buns!

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Karen Miller I will. Thanks

[@annabelc5157]

Do your kids have a microwave at school? Or do they just eat stuff like the chicken sandwiches cold? Love your videos! We have the yumbox panino in red for our son and it's been great :)

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Annabel C No they do not. The sandwich must be room temperature when they eat it. They have never complained so it's been working fine. 😊 I love Yumbox. And Thanks so much

[@annabelc5157]

My son prefers certain things warm and not room temperature but has a hard time opening the thermos (he is only 5). I am thinking about the omiebox for days when he wants warm things. Have you heard of it or tried it?

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Annabel C I have watched videos on it but never tried it. In theory it seems really good idea. Please let me know how it works out for you if you get it.

[@Tania_3210]

Hello!! 💝 So by prefer "YumBox" or Bento Box" I have a 5 yr old and curious..

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Tania Sanchez I would go with yumbox. The yumbox Panino has enough compartments for enough variety of food for lunch and it can also fit an entire sandwich if your child would like to have that.

[@Tania_3210]

Cool Calm and Mom Hello & thank you so much for responding & giving me your opinion!! 💝💝💝 I am Really enjoying your videos & I just subbed to your channel 😁💝

[@lindseyslife3551]

I've been looking for your channel but I could not remember your channel names! I really like your videos, but one thing I can't hear you and my volume is all the way up 🤔

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Lindsey`s life oh no. I checked the volume on other phones and my laptop too and it seemed find. Hope everyone else can hear. Glad you found my channel again 😊

[@MomReviews]

[@user-sj2rp4qw9k]

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Aqsa Moshin oh no. Sorry to hear that no one else has complained regarding volume. Thanks so much for your support.

[@pianoandeden]

Im 15 and my mom still makes lunch for me. People make fun of me at school but oh well food made by your mom beats cafeteria food aaanyday.

[@naabeendat7020]

My birthday was on Friday 8/25

[@briellewright9228]

What is that green thing in there lunches

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Brielle Wright you are probably talking about cucumber 🥒 ?

[@MandMmom73]

Love your channel. We subbed. I actually watched your vid earlier today and then saw you commented on ours. Great videos.

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

MandMMom thanks so much. And welcome

[@jazariamookie]

maybe they will eat the veggies if you give them dip

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Thatcrazygirl I tried a few. So the kind of kids I have do not like ranch. Like who doesn't like ranch!

[@noshabaagha2861]

Is there a new container for the 9th grader

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Noshaba Agha nope, same old 😊. Hope you saw the end lol

[@hishamiyub4755]

I'm in grade 5

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Hisham Iyub yay. Same as my daughter. What do you like to take for lunch?

[@hishamiyub4755]

Cool Calm and Mom I like to take a sandwich and veggies water and fruit

[@Grayson868]

Do u do a voiceover

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Stephannie Vlogs I do sometimes when too much noise in background 😊

[@Grayson868]

Thx for replying

[@user-zj5qu3wv2l]

how could you keep apples from being brown???

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

I dip them in lemon juice and sugar water for 5 minutes. Just a little bit sugar and 1 or half lemon, depending on the amount of water. :)

[@user-zj5qu3wv2l]

Cool Calm and Mom thanks a lot..can you show this to us in any of your videos if you can? I 'm from Egypt;and I like your wonderful videos..

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

omar miro I definitely will. Don't forget to subscribe 😊

[@user-zj5qu3wv2l]

[@hometreats4373]

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

SANMY World yes 😊

[@kristinnewton2027]

What country are you from? I love your accent and your head scarfs.

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Pakistan. Thanks so much. :)

[@Grayson868]

U live in Pakistan now or the states lol sorry just curious

[@tatumgrace9430]

I love these vids but you always pack the same things !

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Tatum Grace haha honestly we rotate a few snacks and sandwiches or lunch items kids like. We do like to try new things but at the same time we stick with what we like. I try and change it up for them by using same items differently in lunches. Next week will be sandwich free week so that will be different for sure, stay turned!

[@oliviacarpenter8689]

Cu

[@noshabaagha2861]

Your videos are to long they should only be 8 to 10 minutes long

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

I have cut down the video lengths from 15 to 12 now. I will try to reduce more. If possible. But I personally don't like when people rush through the videos, but thanks for your input.

[@Grayson868]

In my opinion I like the longer videos

[@TiffanyTLCx95]

Cool Calm and Mom I love your videos being longer- I enjoy the depth you go into. Much love from the UK :)

[@Cheyenne85]

Cool Calm and Mom I am new to your channel. I enjoy the longer ones. I like how you go through everything.

[@coolcalmandmom4896]

Cheyenne Wiseman welcome! And thanks for your feedback. I really don't like rushing 😊
