I love that they pack their lunches! Love it!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

It’s nice when the older do it…when it’s Lola it’s like, ok…this is going to be entertaining 😂

[@kimberlygoudzwaard2811]

Love the variety of ideas, thank you! Also thanks for addressing mom guilt. Where I live there is a lot of judgment/guilt if you do anything processed, any sugar, etc. I strive for somewhat of a balance and some days we do well and some days not as much. I’m going to use some of your lunch ideas! Thanks for the video

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Thanks for saying so! I almost didn’t put that part in but I figured if it’s something I used to have a lot of guilt over, I know someone else out there has guilt or feels pressure about it too. It’s all about balance! And honestly, if you restrict too much, it’s just going to make it that much more alluring to them. Thanks for watching!

Oh your lunches are so pretty! 😍 Can your mom drop off some extra crescent rolls here?? 🤣 They look delicious!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Thank you haha, very very basic! And sure I’ll have her drop some by 😃

[@lifewithginab]

We have lunch bags here too. Especially when we are on the go!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

I laughed at first when my mom said she bought them all lunch boxes because they asked but realized they actually really come in handy!

[@worldofweeze]

I definitely filmed myself in my DITL video giving my kids Pop Tarts for breakfast. No shame 🤣 Thanks for mentioning it!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Nice! Lol

[@lifewithginab]

So much variety! And yes lunches can sometimes be difficult here. Definitely inspired me!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

I feel like I’m in a perpetual lunch rut haha

[@worldofweeze]

Snyder’s Pretzels!! Made right around the corner from our house!! 👏🏼

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Mmm does the air smell like pretzels? I know it Hershey it smells like chocolate!

[@worldofweeze]

@@thepracticalhomeschooler Yes, you're right about Hershey. The highway almost looks a little chocolatey also. lol. We usually don't smell pretzels, but we can smell potato chips often🙂 Utz Potato Chips are made here also.

[@CJAndCori]

Some yummy ideas here!!

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Thanks!

[@priscillaramos3033]

I do different things... pasta, fish, tacos, rice and beans, soup..but always something with vegetables:)

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Ooh can we come over to your house?? 🤣

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

My daughter is obsessed with wraps but egg salad is a different idea, I’d add avocado!!! Mini pizza is an awesome idea, my boys are obsessed with pizza!!! My older kids have a lunch box for extra curricular activities and other classes. My daughter took lunch to her cooking class lol. She doesn’t have to but sometimes she cooks something she doesn’t like but want to cook. We do a 80/20 or 70/30 rule it’s probably more 70/30 everyday and I’ve also found easy to cook food that when I check the health stats the salt and trans fat is low.

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

Haha love that she takes her own lunch to cooking class, just in case! 😄

[@agee0508]

Totally random, but where do you get the rainbow carrots from? Our grocery stores don’t carry them and neither does our Sam’s 😔

[@thepracticalhomeschooler]

I’ve gotten them from our local stores, traders Joe’s, Whole Foods. Do you live in a more remote area? I’m wondering if that might have to do with it??
