Where has the summer gone? It’s August and we are gearing up to go back to school in a few weeks. To spare a little stress on the first day of school, I like to get the traditional “first day of school pictures” out of the way well in advance. It...

I have posted about my obsession with the bento boxes before (Spencer Bento Box Makeover). Until this year, we have used the Spencer Bento Box from Pottery Barn. While I loved that one, it didn’t fit a full sandwich, so my daughters have really outgrown it. ...
