Don’t look now, but school’s here! Are you ready for one of the biggest challenges for Moms of school-age kids – preparing school lunches day after day?
There’s hope and help for you yet. Here are 7 back-to-school lunch tips. Hey, I can’t come over and make your kids’ lunches for you, but these tips will surely make it much easier:
1. Make dinner do double-duty
You’re already in the kitchen preparing your family’s dinner, why not use that time to get a head-start on the next day’s brown bag lunches?
Make a double batch of meals that taste just as good “the morning after,” you know, like fried chicken. Or cook dishes that can be transformed into something “new”, such as pasta sauce that’s just as yummy as pizza topping (on ready-made crust of course).
To make meal planning easier, take a look at Dine Without Whine. It’s a monthly service for planning your family’s meals and grocery shopping.
2. Include lunches when meal planning
To do tip #1, you need to be more organized. This means including your kids’ lunches when planning your family dinners.
3. Let the kids participate
Lighten your load and teach your children some important life skills at the same time. Even small children can help prepare their lunches.
If morning is too stressful, then make this an after-dinner activity – which brings us to…
4. Make advance preparations
Do whatever you can do ahead of time. For example, cook in batches on the weekend, or put leftovers in packable containers the night before.
5. DIY fast food
Commercial packed lunches are attractive but unhealthy. But who says you can’t make your own? Buy your own colorful and attractive lunch boxes, such as a bento-style lunchbox.
Fill it up with a variety of healthy food. Think of mixing up foods with different textures and colors. And cut them up into small pieces so they’re easy and fast to eat.
6. Soup it Up
Soup makes a quick and healthy lunch. You can cook a large pot in the weekend and pack it in a thermos for a warm and satisfying lunch. Serve with whole wheat bread and some fresh fruit and you’ve got a complete meal!
7. Sprinkle in some fun
Sneak a little surprise into your child’s lunchbox once in a while. It could be a little chocolate treat, stickers, or a sweet note from you. Getting something unexpected makes lunch fun.
With planning and creativity, your children can have healthy, delicious lunches without too much work for you.
For meal planning help, go to Dine Without Whine. It makes meal planning a breeze, while helping you save time and money.
Then you’ll have time and energy for those school lunches.

We all have our passion. Something we just absolutely love to do. Whether or not you choose to make money with it is entirely up to you!
I never imagined my career path would lead me to this point in my life. I also never dreamed that my passion would develop into what it has today. Where I came from and where I am now, is like comparing apples to oranges.
Over 10 years ago, I was working in Corporate Banking as a Retail Sales Analyst with more than 500 branches to report on. At the time, I thought I was in the prime of my career. Making an excellent salary, a head honcho to many, and well respected in the industry.
In those days, still in it’s infancy, eBay was purely a hobby for me. However, I could tell the moment I joined that it would be a long lasting relationship .
It was evident that I had the buying end of eBay down pat. Still a ‘newbie’, I began exploring the pros & cons of selling. Then it dawned on me: If you can find such great deals to purchase on eBay, it must be possible to make a few bucks selling on eBay!
Yep… if it wasn’t nailed down to the floor in my house, it was being sold on eBay. Purely an addict at this point, the fire was lit and burning out of control. Anything and everything that wasn’t being used or hadn’t been used for any length of time, was being sold on eBay. It was such a high!
Working full time at the bank, making decent money, and selling on eBay for extra fun money – life was good!
Then I received notice that cut backs would leave me unemployed within a year… UGH, total downward spiral. It wasn’t something I was prepared for. I loved my job and hated to think that being unemployed was in my future. Then, guess what else we found out? We were pregnant with our first child! You can imagine the emotions at this point. Leaving the corporate environment at 7 months pregnant wasn’t easy for me. Especially not knowing what the future held.
Torn with the choice of staying at home or going back into the corporate world after my daughter was born, was a big challenge. After all, my brother and I were latch-key kids – we turned out OK! Both of my parents worked full time and got through it.
We would be ‘OK’ for a while on one income, but we were not financially prepared enough to live comfortably on my husband’s salary alone. So my brain was turning as to HOW to make this work AND stay home with our new baby.
And so, I decided to take a shot at turning eBay into a career!
I began feverishly learning and expanding on my base knowledge, and trying to figure out the secrets to eBay success. Selling everything from Monopoly pieces to my own car, selling items for friends and family, scouring yard sales, Thrift Stores and Estate Sales — searching for the perfect profits to be made.
In the end, my passion for boutique children’s clothing is what I kept going back to. And not just because we had a beautiful new daughter! Have you seen the ending prices on some of these boutique items? Now THAT’S something I can get used to! Real Boutique Clothing is a very tight market, and very hard to find at much less than 50% off retail. Near impossible to find wholesale unless you own a retail establishment. But I was SO determined to find out HOW to do it and make it work without leaving my home.
Boutique Bargains is not a store where you can buy Boutique clothes for boys and girls. I wish it was that easy! It’s a private membership site where boutique-loving moms seek out networking and mentoring advice for selling boutique children’s clothing on eBay. That’s exactly what I needed! Someone to cut through the mumbo jumbo and show me how to improve on this money-making venture. It was wonderful to be able to share experiences with people who had similar interests.
After being a member for a couple of years, successfully selling on eBay, and most importantly… still working from home, I am now co-owner of Boutique Bargains! Sharing what I’ve been through and showing you how to succeed is my passion. Keeping the torch lit for other moms who are in the same situation and want to learn and grow in their online auction business.
