Between getting myself and two kids ready, a husband up, the kitchen straightened up from breakfast, and beds made, I don’t have time to actually make lunches in the mornings. Because of this, it has become part of my nighttime routine to get lunches ready for the next day. Sometimes, it is just one lunch (mine) or, sometimes, it is four lunches. I start by prepping the lunch boxes. Four lunch boxes and two water bottles really take up some counter space!
Then, I make the actual lunches with parts going into the refrigerator and parts going directly into the lunch boxes.
Yes, it makes life easier in the mornings, but there are nights when it feels like a hassle. Tonight would be one of *those* nights. I will be happy tomorrow morning that I made lunches ahead of time. No rushing around. I’ll just remind myself of that for what seems like the tenth time!
