Well, today is the day. Yup, my youngest started his sophomore year in high school at 7:30 am today. Although his school does provide hot lunches, he prefers to pack a lunch from home. So, in honor of my little guy (who is 6 feet tall!), here are some great school lunch ideas I’d like to share with you!
First, you have to pack your lunch in something. My guy likes to use a brown bag but here is another option.

Awww Marilyn. You’re little baby is all grown up. Don’t even get me started on when mine starts high school. (A little way to go considering he only started preschool this year. LOL)
