I think every school should have free breakfast and lunch for all kids. Glad to hear your school does this.

Great job, Kristin! When the children are older, they will remember lovingly how their Mama made them such yummy lunches!

I really loved your clap back about your kids eating veggies. Being a mom to young kids is ridiculously hard! You are doing a wonderful job feeding your family. I can tell you do it with all the love in your heart. My youngest is 14, and I started watching your videos for your husband's lunches. I couldn't find any video ideas for teen lunches, and your ideas for Josh's have been super helpful. 🤗💖

Girl I’m 38 and I’m totally stealing some of these ideas for myself! Thank you for taking the time to film! I know being a mom is a full time so I know you are a busy lady, but you still find time to share these ideas with us☺️☺️

"I'm not going to shove it down their throats, so there's that" LOL that's the best thing I've heard!! Thank you... great lunch idea's!! ❤

I like that you pack realistic lunches instead of lunches that require an art degree to create.

I love that you show what they actually are. I love how you get right down to it without a bunch of chitter chatter. Love all vids! Thanks!

As someone who went to middle and high school in the same county, I do really appreciate hearing about kids doing like I did. Sometimes school lunch is just easier then packing, frankly. Plus, it keeps the number of students getting it up, which lets the school keep free meals for everyone. I hope they keep staying good if your kids will eat them over taking lunch, sometimes!

Don’t listen to people who judge what you feed your kids! You do a great job and they love what you make them!

This is why I love you , your family & your channel so much, no wasting, being authentic while being yourself & not forcing your kids to eat anything they don’t enjoy! As a person that was forced to eat things that I found unpleasant, that’s amazing to see! Now that I have my own kids, I don’t make them eat things they don’t enjoy either.😅💯🥰

I've had my kids bentgo boxes since 2017 and they are still going! I love them.

hahahaha, love the "I kid you not, that thing is going in my purse..."! From one momma to another- I totally get it!

I don't think I really started eating veggies until college!! Great ideas. Love the two random cars in his lunchbox!!

I love that you continue to use previous years lunch boxes.

Your sweet thoughtfulness for your family is precious. Good job momma 👏

I love your content Kristin and you won't wanna hear this, but sometimes you gotta be a bad guy and let your kids know veggies are healthy. I just wanna see you and your family live longer.

I don’t even have kids in school. But I always enjoy watching these. Especially when you show how well they ate what you packed. Plus their feed back. So you know what to do and not to. Keep up the great videos!

Hi Kristen, nice lunches! I love how much love you put into your kids meals, and that you don't force them to eat things they don't like. Here in California, legislators passed a law providing free lunch for all school kids. It is such a relief for so many in need.

Hahaha that cute little bite out of the carrot. She tried!!👍🏻 Really great ideas! I miss packing lunches. I pack for my picky husband occasionally and believe it or not you gave me a couple of great ideas! ❤️

I absolutely adore all of your videos! I have been watching you almost from the beginning of your channel! I am Blind, and I really appreciate that you describe what you’re doing in your videos instead of just doing it!

I LOVE that you show what you kids ate and what they actually thought of it!

I don't even have children, but I love your lunchbox videos. Watching them is one of my ways to unwind from the day, haha. And I always run out of ideas for my own lunches, so maybe I'll have to try one of these. Thank you for sharing!

I LOVE that you share what they eat and don't eat!!

Great ideas. We are blessed to live in a school district who also gives every student free breakfast, lunch and third meal. I still send mine with a home lunch but some days they go ahead and get school lunch too. Often eating some of both or saving their home lunch for third meal (which is basically a snack).

Im turning 15 next month but i love cute lunches and i have to pack my own lunches every day for school and these ideas are helpful and cute

I love these videos Kristen! I'm about to be 30, & I literally use these videos to help me get ideas to pack lunches for my work! Keep them coming! 😀

I love your videos you can use this top to the Gatorade bottle to make circles and cheese and lunch meat it works great and fits the cracker just a mom hack

I love how you show what they have eaten. I'm struggling with twin boys in K. Not only with what to send, but what they'll eat served from school. So thank you!

Perfect timing, plan on sharing these with my bonus son and daughter-in-law for our grandson. He's homeschooled but likes to have a packed lunch.

We live in southwest Virginia and all our schools get free breakfast and lunch also. Which is a huge help!

I love seeing all the things that are available now. Lucky children.

Those water bottles are so cute

I thought I was the only one who hated the juice explosions from fruit cups 😂

Yes,Yes to the limited artificial dye! I so agree with you on that. We shop at Aldi or Lidl often to ensure my grandchildren have no artificial dye. Good for you, Mama, for caring about this. Also good for cutting up grapes!! I always love your lunchbox ideas! 💕💕

I love that your school district has free lunch and breakfast for kids! More should do it all the time. Ours did while covid was raging.

I love that you show how much they ate! Please totally do more of these! My daughter is going to school for the first time and we will be doing home lunch! I need all the ideas!

Loved this video! We have kiddos in the same grades and packing lunches has been so fun 🤩 I can also relate to the “kids not eating veggie comments” we also serve food with no pressure to eat what they don’t want ❤️ thanks for the inspo!

Love the lunch ideas! I have a 15 year old that will not eat vegetables either. I totally agree about not shoving them down their throats. He is just now eating green beans. You rock momma!

Adorable kiddos lunch box ideas 😋 thank you for sharing your ideas😊❤hv a great day everybody 😊😊😊❤❤

I love these videos my daughter has sensory/texture issues with food. She is extremely picky and therefore has a feeding tube. It is a huge help to see other people make lunches for their kids. It gives me ideas and hope to try new foods with her and we are so happy when a new food is a hit. You are right it’s a struggle on a normal day then add a special needs child in the mix and it can be exhausting. Keep these videos coming they are extremely helpful and I look forward to them🙂

I have teenagers now so their lunches look much different lol but these look similar to things we used to pack🥰 And as for the veggies the judgmental people can buzz off! You are a great momma! 🥰

You mentioned something about the lunches you make being repetitive and not always heallthy. I think they are so cool and have a lot of variety and lots of food. Way better than some of the stuff available. I make them for myself for work. Save money, lose weight and still get yummy.

We homeschool but I find my kids eat more lunch when it's packed and ready, thanks for the awesome video!

The hot wheels cars coming back in the lunch box made me chuckle 😂

Love that you don't waste anything!!

Thank you for this video. This was extremely helpful for my family. My son is as I call him the pickiest kid ever and I struggle with lunch ideas for him. I worry if he's eating at school and you have offered some great ideas.

Love this! Great ideas and really appreciate you showing if your kids enjoyed their lunch and how much they ate.

As long as your kids are fed, happy and healthy, who cares! If you feed them generic brand food, so be it! If they don’t eat raw veggies, so be it! Your kids are so lucky to have a mom like you. And those haters can take a hike! Your kids are well fed, happy and healthy and that’s all that matters. ❤️🥰

Aldi has mini naan that have everything bagel seasoning in them and I'm obsessed! I used them all last week for my lunches.

I laughed so hard each time Boston came back with a surprise for you; hot wheels and then a broken handle. Great video!

I am the SAME about the choking!!

Omg!! I LOVE bologna and cheese omelette!!!! So good!! Glad I’m not the only one…lol!!!

I don’t know why but KZfaq hasn’t notified me of your uploads for a very long time. Months, didn’t even show up on the feed. Now I can binge on a bunch! :) You’re a good mom :)

What a great mom you are!!!!

Good lunches! Keep putting veggies in the lunches. They'll eventually start to try them as their tastes change. Keep up the good work!!

I’m totally making the pizza lunchables for my husband and l! Honestly, we would eat every one of these lunches. 😁 Great ideas Kristin, thank you!!

I love watching your videos! You have such a sweet voice and your a wonderful mother for taking time for your babies. 🥰

Honestly my favorite KZfaqr!! I just got married and I’m so excited to start cooking your recipes for him. Last night I made him watch one of your videos before bed with me 😂

You are such a great mom🥰🥰 Mama to mama I appreciate you letting the kids choose what veggies they want to eat. They will find out what they like on their own time. I am definitely making my daughter those homemade lunchables. You can probably make like 10 for the price of 3. Thanks for another awesome video🥰🥰💐💐💐

I use a wide-mouthed funnel for filling up the thermos. You can find them at Walmart with the canning supplies. They’re normally used to fill jam jars, but they are the perfect size for the thermos!

I hint that is wonderful that your schools provide free Breakfast & Lunches!

One of the few things that I loves about Covid was free school lunches. Our school did away with them this year. I feel like it’s such a disservice. Every kid deserves a hot meal at school and every parent deserves to not have to stress about financing it.

Interesting info about the red food dye.

Thank you so much for showing the lunchboxes after they came home!!!! My 5 yr old hardly eats anything at school, and I always wonder if other kids do, or if every lunchbox comes home full!! Thanks again!!!!

The hot wheels cars is totally my son! Lol. Too funny the little “finds” they come home with, lol

Great little lunch ideas. Fun too. Your a great Mom ♥️♥️

Kristin you are the sweetest mom and I adore your videos!🥰

As an adult and a VERY picky eater…. You have no idea how much you help me with ideas ❤️❤️

Love your videos and as far as your kiddos not eating vegetables so what they are your kids you know what they need everyone else can stay in their own lane about it. Please keep making these videos as well as the videos where you make lunches for your husband they are so very helpful to so many people myself included. I dont have little ones per say but I do help look after my younger brother who is Autistic and these videos often help when I have to pack his lunch they give such great ideas for us to try. Some are flops but some he really loves so thank you we really appreciate it.

I line the thermoses with a piece of paper towel, it helps the Nuggets not get soggy from the condensation

Woooow love this series video idea for kids lunch boxes I wash your hubby's packed lunch ones and they are sooo good xxx

I just wanted to mention this, in case it's helpful. When my kids were little and while I was cooking their dinner, I would put the tv on and put a platter of fruit and veg in front of them. I never commented, but I put a mix of things they would eat, and new things they had never tasted. They were hungry after school, and you would be surprised by the things they would try. Just ignore what they eat completely, and you will be surprised what they will try when you aren't there/don't care. I still do it now even though they are 10 and 14, and it still works 😁

I love the bear yoyo fruit rolls! They might like Annie's fruit roll ups instead. There's isn't any red dye in those. You can find them in target! Hopefully they will like those 😊

Thank you Kristin for all the great lunch box ideas, my kids are picky eaters . At least your kids try the food even if they do not like it maybe as they grow and maybe try the food again they like it. I do not force my food on my kids they will not eat it is not worth the battle. I have loved all of your meal ideas thank you so much.

We don’t do dyes either! It’s been a huge shift in our house. We even feel it when we’ve had some by accident

Cute lunch boxes for your kids! Some of those items I eat myself for lunch! I am an empty nester, I like your kids lunch better than what I sent with my kids! Love watching your videos!

You’re an amazing mom

My daughter watched some older lunch box videos and she saw the bento boxes you had …. So yup now we have the same one she’s so excited!!

That’s awesome that your school does free meals! I wish ours did. Ours is income-based and depends on how many kids you have enrolled as well. Also loved the lunches! The random hot wheels cracked me up lol I’m thinking a trade was made haha

Love all your videos. Always gives me great ideas I think it keeps it interesting as well because it’s recipes I’ve never heard of. I agree being a mom is always a struggle to get all your kids eat veggies

My son is in 4th grade this year, and I just got a Thermos last year. I love it for lunch options. He qualifies for free lunch but he doesn’t like all the choices so he does about half hot/half cold. Sistema boxes are great for lunches too.

Our district is doing the free breakfast and lunch, too. Of course, my kindergarten child wants cold lunch!🤣

Love all of the lunch ideas found some new lunches for my daughter tip I learned from this video I never thought about preopening the juice or water cap thank you

Thank you so much I just preferred a bento box!

Oh my gosh thank you! School starts Thursday and this is perfect! Your an awesome momma!

Please do more of these!! Love all of your ideas

This great value chicken nuggets are literally some of the best. I have tried so many brands and have always come right back to those! Not to mention the fact that they stuff soooo many in that bag!

You make great lunches for you husband & kids

Love the ideas I needed this! I love that school has free breakfast and lunch I jaut don't think 20 minutes is long enough. My son had an issue with the time a couple years back and would eat so fast he would puke and I would have to be picked up from school. I had to tea h him to eat slowly and he could have a snack once he got home. Now I homeschool and don't have to worry about it

Week 2 of school and I’m already burnt out from packing lunches!! lol thanks for the inspiration!

Excellent school lunch video

With the Capri sun hack, I would freeze the juice box overnight but I would start to thaw them out about an hour before lunch packing time. Just say it out on the counter and it still kept their lunches cold but was ready to sip at lunch.

Great ideas! thanks. I wish KZfaq would have been around back when I was raising all my kids its such a good resource for sharing ideas. I only pack for my husband now but he'd like lots of these ideas. Our youngest was a super picky little one and we never made a big deal out of it. Now shes a very adventurous eater and tries everything so a lot of kids do outgrow this phase. One of my sons has some sensory issues with certain foods as an adult still doesn't eat certain things but in the scheme of things what difference does it make? I'm glad you let your kids decide what they prefer and respect that.

Lol I feel the same about those fruit cups! We can get them in a plastic container (it’s a nice container 🤣 I keep it) and I just keep it in the fridge til they are gone, which doesn’t take long

I loved this video! My kids school gets free breakfast and lunch too ❤️

Some good ideas for lunch packing.

The dollar tree has the little reusable squeeze dressing cups!

I love the mini Naan idea for a pizza lunchable! Will definitely have to try for my little ones!

I also live where the school does free Breakfast and Lunch but as you mentioned my oldest son is in Kindergarten and He is a pretty good eater but not big on veggies yet we still introduce them and I love your videos they help me so much I need the practice my youngest son will be going to school next yr and he is my picky eater so I know I'll be packing his lunch on a more regular basis but I usually tell my oldest son what his school is doing for Breakfast and lunch to see if he wants me to make him lunch so I don't always have to pack his lunch either but I have gotten compliments from ppl at the school about his lunches and I've took the time to watch you and a few others who are pro's at this so thank you for making these videos for ppl like Me it helps so much I write a list of lunch ideas down so when I go shopping I just pick up stuff so I have it on hand when he decides he wants to take lunch last minute and it makes a huge difference 😊 thank you

Thankfully my kids loved veggies 🥗 and still do as teens 😇
