Back-to-School Snacks
Back to school season was always my favorite time of year when I was growing up. It was always time for a fresh new start. New clothes, new routines, new seasons and weather.
And now I can’t believe my baby boy is going to preschool this year! But unlike the other moms I know, I’m not sad at all. In fact, I am really excited for both him and for me.
After being together 24/7 for the past 3 years, I think Ran and I are ready for a little time apart. For me to work on my business and for him an opportunity to play with kids his own age.
I am excited to bring more schedule back into our lives, and I am excited to have more consistent, planned meals and snacks as well.
Of course, I’ve never done the whole lunch-packing thing before, so I have enlisted the help of some of my most talented colleagues to bring together some of the most delicious Healthy Back to School Snacks for Kids!
