Leaving a life that “worked”… to build one that feels right

When kids were 12 and 11 years old (3-4 years ago), I started making them adult lunch boxes. Their break time is at 9, 15 minutes snack time and bigger break at 12 for lunch and other things for one hour. I post them on my IG and usually receive very positive comment from friends.

I don’t always post them because mostly they’re just repeat home cooking. I don’t make them for content. I make them because I love my kids. I want them to eat clean and healthy. They don’t need to plan what’s for lunch just it will always be available and warm and hearty. But most importantly, I want this to be their core memory, that Ibu put a lot of cares in making sure they’re taken care of.

These lunchboxes require considerable effort, including waking up at 4:30, meal prep and planning that can take a week before. But it’s all worthy. I hope they worthy. I hope the love I put can be tasted in every bite.
