Noting that School will soon be starting around the Country, I thought Of a List of Ideas to Possibly Help With Kids Lunch boxes. We all get Tired of PB & J sandwiches, Kids do also. You might also note that putting over 30 Grams of Sugar in a kids Lunch Box is Grounds for a Super Hyped up Kid, That may just Loose all interest in school. Consider Protein, Vegies, Fruit and Carbs.

She said Her Kids teachers Noticed a great Difference in their Concentration, after Lunch, with her New Idea. So Passing along a few of her Ideas.
