When I just had one Little Luncher, I had more time to get really fancy with her lunches. Once I had two, things could still be done with extra touches and flair but I had less time to dedicate to packing. Now that Little Luncher #1 and Little Luncher #2 have different tastes, appetites and schedules things could be getting a bit more hectic...add to that Little Luncher #3 starting to try new foods and it could really become chaos.
I look for ways to plan ahead, prep ahead, keep things simple and seasonal but also make eating fun and enjoyable. Recently I came across the Easy Lunchboxes system and I have to say, it works for our lifestyle and our family. The system is made of three parts - a three-section container, a tightly closing lid and an insulated carrying bag (with room for a thermos, a yogurt, a banana, etc).
These containers are equally practical for taking a lunch to preschool, the office or for running around town. I love that they go in the dishwasher, freezer, microwave or fridge. They come in a set of four containers with four different colored lids - that works really well to make sure the right person gets the right lunch. Mornings can be crazy, it's nice to not spend ten minutes looking for the lids for each of the little tupperware containers or opening and closing each person's lunch three times to be sure the right person has the right lunch.

And, while we are at it...we love this company because it's run by an mompreneur who knew from experience what we moms need to make our lives a little less hectic.
