How DO You fit a Hug in a Lunchbox??

When I was a kid, my Mom always made THE BEST school lunches. Seriously. She was always varying the menu and including special little treats for me but my favorite thing was that each and every day, she wrote me a special little note on my napkin and told me that she loved me.

Now that I am a Mom, I have really wanted to send that same message to my girls and make sure that they know that even on the most rotten of days, they are loved. I send notes on their napkins but half the time they end up soggy and the ink runs and my message is lost. Well, I found a new way to deliver that message.

Check out Kids Lunchbox Cards.

What child could resist smiling when they discover these fun cards in their lunchbox? Each card has a fun graphic and a question or riddle then the answer is in a scratch off box.

I had the chance to order some from PictureItPostage so that I could know what I was talking about so, of course, I wanted to order some with a picture of my 3 P's. Problem was, when I got ready to order them, I could not decide which ones to order....

Three great photo tips to make yours unforgettable:
