I love kaboose! It is such a great family website with tons and tons of ideas, tips, recipes etc. I found this neat quiz that I thought would be great to share! Some of the questions are tricky and the answers surprising! What's your Lunch IQ?
Healthy and fun school lunches
Posted in on by
Well this is my first blog entry ever, so please be kind, lol.
With all of the talk of back to school and what to pack for lunches I thought I would focus my entry on that.
I am sure some of you may have picky eaters, or even non eaters, but lets face it, kids need to eat a well balanced diet in order to be alert for the day ahead. So make lunch fun, all kids love fun, right? Every couple of months I receive Kraft Canada Magazines, "What's Cooking". I love them. This month there was an insert with lunch ideas for kids, I thought I would share them with you.
Mini sub sandwiches
Roll 'n go tortillas
Layered lunchtime salad
Creamy and crunchy ham sandwich
Cinnamon raison fold over sandwiches
Baby bagel sandwiches
For these and other fun recipes check out http://www.KraftCanda.com/

Twas the Night Before School Starts
By Ron Yorgason
T’was the night before school starts and all through the place,
Not a smile was seen On any kid’s face.
Our bags were all stuffed with our notebooks brand new,
And rulers and pencils with erasers to chew.
Mournfully we all crawled into bed,
Knowing too well that the ‘good life’ was dead.
Then mom came in whistling and kissed us goodnight,
With a bright cheery voice that didn’t seem right.
The night dragged on slowly I just couldn’t sleep,
For fear that my math teacher Would be a real creep.
Or maybe a bully would give a shove,
Or even more evil things than I could think of.
When from in the next room there arose such a clummer,
My mom yelled,”I’m FREE!, I’m free ‘til next summer!”
This must be a plot by conspiring moms,
Who just want a break to experience ‘calm.’
Oh, must I go through it? How can I go on?
I want to escape run off to Saigon!
Nine months is too long to suffer through school
The classes so rough and teachers who’re cruel.
“Come Donald! Come Conner! Come Henry VanStation!
Come up to the board, do your multiplication!”
“And Julie, stop talking! And Jimmy, wake up!
And, Mary,right now, Don’t do your makeup!”
Teachers ever are hounding they just never quit.
You do something wrong, they go into a fit.
And so every year about this same time,
I lie in bed sleepless and just moan and whine.
Until morning comes,
and I hear my mom say,
“Good luck with your school!
And have a nice day!”

Make life "easier" by following some of these tips!
We all know how hectic life can be once the kids return to school and the various extracurricular activities begin again! Here are some helpful tips to help us save on time, particularly during rushed times.
Before you go to bed do the following...
-> Make lunches for your entire family, add an ice pack in the morning and it's done!
-> Pack up homework, gym clothes and anything else required for the next day, do this for yourself as well.
-> Lay out clothes for yourself and your children.
-> Set the coffee maker, cut up fruit, and any other breakfast preparations that can be done ahead of time.
-> Ensure your pets have ample food and water.
-> Prepare a homework box with supplies similar to school, keep it out of reach so that it can only be used for homework time.
-> Have a family tidy-time for 10-30 minutes every night so that clutter cannot accumulate.
Time permitting, do some of the following...
-> Make freezable meals for evenings there is a time crunch.
-> Do laundry and/or ironing every couple of days to avoid the mountain on the weekend.
And most importantly, relax! Your children are children just once, enjoy it!!
