I’m thinking about getting an insulated lunch tote, now that my son has one of his own that he’ll be getting for this coming Christmas. I’ve always carried my lunches up to school in simple paper bags, if I don’t stick to buying ones that are already in boxes or bringing things like ramen up to campus with me. Since I’m pregnant and can’t always eat first thing in the morning before I head up to school, I always make it a habit to bring two meals with me in case I need to supplement my food intake with a few hundred more calories. All I need is 100-150 k/Cal more daily.

And I’m also considering buying myself a laundry bag and hiding it from my son as well. He likes to play in my laundry hamper whenever he has the chance, and although watching him pretend to be a pirate scouring the seven seas for booty is kind of cute… seeing my clothes begin to get thrown all over my bedroom floor is considerably less cute. This is also why I am considering keeping vitally important things of mine in a personalized duffle bag, and hiding that from my crafty two-year-old son too! Silly, silly, crafty child…
