25 A+ School Lunch Ideas

Remember lunchtime at school when you were a kid? By the time we got to school, we had squished brown bags, bruised fruit, and soggy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

Today’s technology makes lunchtime at school an entirely different experience. Thermal container options make it so that lunches never have to be soggy, bruised, or boring again. This also means that kids can eat healthier lunches, so it’s a bonus for us moms too.
