There are certain mom tasks that I have romanticized and have been waiting impatiently for my turn to do. Hanging balloons on a mailbox for a birthday party, getting a stroller in and out of a car to go into a store, and leaving notes in my children’s lunchboxes are a few. These things catch me off guard when I do get to do them because I don’t know that I ever fully imagined myself as a mom carrying out every day charges. They are the sweetest reminders of God’s goodness, and it’s always an opportunity to thank Him for my son. 

My son is only one and at home with me all day, so packing a lunch is not quite a part of our days. I do love the idea of him opening his lunchbox one day at school and seeing a small slip with a note from me and a joke to make him laugh; realistically, I understand that he may find this embarrassing eventually, but for now, I’ll pretend that he will always appreciate the mid-day smile.  I jumped the gun a little and started making printable notes with jokes to match the season and have tested them on my husband; I make his lunch a couple of days a week, and he enjoys a lunch box love.

Above, you’ll see a preview of November’s Lunchbox Loves file, but below, you can download the entire PDF. Included is a set of eleven printer-friendly, small-sized lunch box loves: a joke with lines to add a small note.

November Lunchbox Loves

I understand that I may be getting ahead of myself by being excited to pack a lunch and include a note, but God trusted my sweet Sully to me. I want to thank Him for my son through stewarding my time and resources well, serving my household, and creating memories along the way. Making these loves and other things gives me the opportunity to have fun and tap into my creative side in new ways.
