It’s not easy to prepare a healthy and creative lunchbox when it has to be portable, nut-free (school policy) and liked by fussy eaters. A great deal of preparation is required that includes shopping for ingredients and night-before arrangements. I often prepare Georgie’s lunchbox about the same time I make dinner which tends to lighten the morning load. I also like to set aside an afternoon or morning during the week and weekend when I can cook/bake/prepare a dish that can be stored in the fridge for a few days. These dishes include pasta, boiled eggs and roasted chicken.

Soon after I gave birth to Georgie I remember how phenomenally impossible it was to find a nappy bag or diaper bag or changing bag or whatever you want to call it.
Here was an item I was supposed to carry around with me all the time and yet I wouldn’t go anywhere near most of them even if you paid me. Sorry but Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and other woodland creatures are not the type of bag style I like. So five years ago I made do with a plain shoulder bag. Definitely not very practical but I managed. I breastfed Georgie exclusively so not having to carry bottles and other stuff made the world of difference.
