~*WIN*~ A MONTH’s Worth Of School Lunches From The LunchBox

In our house we like to play to our strengths.

What does that mean?  Well, my strength is that I happen to be home early enough to make supper, so that’s my responsibility. Seth happens to not hate going outside in the cold as much as I do, so he sorts out the dog poop and basically anything that happens outside the warm walls of our house.  As yet, I’m still figuring out whose strength the dishes are.

Anyway, as with any family, things run on a tight routine and if it gets slightly rocked all the flipping wheels fall off.  Well that’s not really true, we hardly ever have any wheels attached.  As evidenced by our grocery cupboard.

Basically put: There’s hardly anything in it.

To sum it up, I am more of a hunter/gatherer – just winging it with what I can find in the cupboard – and Seth is more like an, uh, organised hunter/gatherer – making sure there is something to find in the cupboard.  This dear friends is why he took over packing the school lunch boxes.  The kids rejoiced as they got to enjoy biltong and dried fruit instead of a hunk of cheese I found at the back of the fridge on top of a dry cracker from 2002.

But despite the fact that we were playing to our strengths, our lack of grocery cupboard stock taking often resulted in Seth running out to our local gas station trying to find decent things to pop into all three of our kids lunch boxes.  That’s right guys, all of them go to school and not only do you have to pay for school fees you have to feed them all freaking day too.  Contraception anyone?

Jokes, jokes.  Little lives are precious. {Really, I’m only joking, don’t freak out OK?}

When The Lunchbox wanted to send us a months worth of lunch box snacks for our kids you bet I said yes please and thank you!  Who wouldn’t want the peace of mind of knowing that you don’t have to do any 10pm snack runs for a whole MONTH!

If you haven’t heard about it yet, let me give you the low down:

You pay R595 per month (for the normal subscription box) and they send you a box full of 21 packed lunches.  In each pack you get a juice or water and three snacks.  You can literally just grab one as you walk out the door every morning. (There’s even an adult one guys!)

We’ve been using our packs for a couple of weeks now (got it at the beginning of April) and we’ve been enjoying it so far.  But as we’d only ever given the kids water to take to school, I wasn’t so keen on sending them with the juice option every day (we really try and limit the amount of sugar they get even though these are 100% fruit juices it still felt like too much when factoring in the snacks in the pack).  The good news is that I chatted to the team at The Lunchbox and you can actually opt to have a water only option – that’s a definite plus for me.

Want to get your hands on your own box of The Lunchbox to try?  Of course you do, so it’s a good thing that I am giving away a box today.  You know how to enter so get cracking 🙂
