In just a couple weeks I’ll have THREE kids in school, which starts at 7:45 am. Yes, that early – insane, right? Not only will I have to get them out of bed, feed them breakfast, get them ready and make sure they don’t forget bags as we rush out the door, there’s lunchboxes to pack. Yikes! Luckily, I can plan ahead with this list of 30+ Non-Sandwich Lunch Ideas.
We still do sandwiches in our lunchboxes sometimes, but how can I make my kids do the same stuff all the time if even I get sick of the repetition? That’s why we need some good non-sandwich ideas to get us through the coming school year.
