    My 11 year old son picked out the cutest bento box for his lunches!  I love it because it's a great alternative to snack bags for his lunch items and it also prompts him to help me pick out some healthy foods to fill it with!  I love when he gets involved and I see him making healthy, sustainable choices!  So far for this month, we have used zero ziploc bags and zero plastic cutlery (it came with a little fork and spoon!).

    I LOVE my new re-useable TO-GO container!  Best gift ever!  This will get used a lot...I always have leftovers at restaurants.  :)

      I received it as a gift from a friend (Mary, Kelly gave it to me....ask her next time you see her where she got it.)  I have already used mine 3 times!
