About Jennifer Todryk
Hey there! I’m Jenn.

Things get a little loud and chaotic over here from time to time. I blame the three child beasts ... and Mike is loud too. But, I hope to bring you nothing but happiness, inspiration, good home decor and only the comfiest clothing recommendations because, who really enjoys pants .... ? And most importantly a good laugh. I hope you laugh a lot… even if it’s at my expense.

Healthy Lunchbox Ideas For Kids! What’s Packin’ Series (Week 1)

by Jennifer

Happy Monday, friends!

It has BEGUN! What’s Packin’ series week 1 is now live on my Youtube channel!

If you have not yet subscribed to my video channel on the great YouTube, then please do so here: SUBSCRIBE TO BEST CHANNEL ON PLANET EARTH.


I know packing lunches can be a daunting task, especially if you are trying to do it quickly at 6:30 am!

(or 5:15 because of this blasted time change…. *so many curse words in my head)

I have come up with five lunches for the week that are super simple to assemble and almost all can be made the night before! (all depends on if you think your bread may get soggy or not for sandwiches etc…)

I actually had so much fun making this video because I love packing lunches! Weird, I know, but when I am not rushing around last minute scrounging for something edible for my kids, I find assembling lunches kind of fun!

Hope some of these ideas can be useful to you! Have some good ideas? Let me know in the comments of the video! I could possibly use them in my next weekly installment of What’s Packin’! 🙂 Thank you!

Please share with other Mama friends!

  • Hi, if you peel the celery sticks it gets rid of most of the stringy bits :) xx
