Introducing our Bento Friend Across the Pond

December 10, 2012

Without the support and encouragement of the incredibly active and passionate bento blogging community, I can honestly say that my EasyLunchboxes would not be quite as popular as they’ve become. It’s definitely thanks to all the amazing lunch pics these gals (and now ONE GUY – keep reading!!) post on a daily basis, that more and [...]

Pack a little Hanukkah inside your lunch box

December 7, 2012

This is a guest post by my friend Sarah of Bentoriffic. – Kelly As early as my daughters could speak and understand a bit of holiday cheer, we began reading books about Hanukkah and playing with dreidels (decorative wooden tops) at our house. I say this because we are a Christian family. My children have [...]

Cheap and Effective Babyproofing for Chairs and Table Edges

December 3, 2012

My brother Howard is the proud father of a beautiful baby girl named Danica. She’s walking now, but it wasn’t long ago that she was just learning to sit up. She wasn’t always able to hold herself up, and sometimes fell over to the side, or worse, backwards, into chair legs. Now, as a new [...]

Opp! PSY Gangnam Style Goes Bento with Panda and Piggy

November 27, 2012

How to keep bento and cute lunches neat until lunchtime

November 9, 2012

Around Halloween, when I posted an amazing collection of Halloween-themed lunches, the first comment I got was from long-time reader Alison who had been dying to ask her burning question: “What do they look like by the time your kids open the boxes? We homeschool, but once per week I pack my ELB for them to [...]

Support for Sandy

November 5, 2012

As I sit in my sunny home office writing this post, I am reflecting back to January 17th, 1994 when I was jolted out of bed by the devastating Northridge earthquake at 4:30 in the morning. In the pitch black chaos I somehow flew, barefoot, over downed picture frame glass shards to reach my infant [...]
