clearing the confusion

okay friends-

I've gotten a lot of emails about 

the big news I promised and talked about months ago

 but it kind of got postponed. 

Instead of being in Modern Ink Magazine's

February/March issue for Adriana's lunches

 I have been offered a spot in the 

April/May edition!

I'm sooo grateful.

They changed their format

 to be more accessible to readers

and couldn't fit everything in-

here's a snippet from them via their facebook post

please, go here to read the newest issue

it's fabulous and so user friendly,

plus, there are a lot of amazing things in it!

 I am still so psyched about sharing 

 this incredible journey with you guys. 

sorry for the confusion

 and thanks for keeping up!

houston, we have snow!

our first snow of the new year-

 which was odd because the weather has 

been so out of whack and let's face it

 we all gave up on the thought of snow.

it started snowing late Sunday evening

 and lasted all night

 leading to very excited munchkins

waking up to a little less than two inches.

good thing I got us dressed to go out

 and play because no more than an hour

 after we came in for soup and hot chocolate

it was all melted.

bittersweet.

 

what's in your lunchbox?

with all of the sick days, a snow day

a field trip day and a day I brought a 

surprise lunch and ate with her

 we only have a handful of 

lunches to share in this post

but they are packed with delicious goodness

and lots of love-

I'll be sharing in a separate

post the reasons behind why I pack these lunches

 and the newest news about our good news.
