I hate making lunches, I put it off until the school bus is coming down the street and then I run around the kitchen looking for things to put in my three kids lunches. Sometimes it's a hot dog bun with butter on it, cut up cucumber, a granola bar I know they won't even eat, and a can of Diet Coke. Yikes. I am lovin’ these videos!

Love your videos. A lot of my friends with kids get all freaked out about their kids appearing in any videos or photos posted online. Freaked out to the point of being militant about the kids NEVER EVER appearing online in photos or videos. They are apparently worried about "internet creeps" discovering the kids and whatever... You don't seem to have an issue with your daughter (or niece) appearing online and I think you're probably a really good parent. I kind of want to involve my kids in videos as well, but am worried about how to defend myself at the cul-de-sac. OK, I could really care less about what the neighbors think, but was wondering if YOU ever worry about Vivian being in your vlog posts? Could you please do a video about this? Are my friends too cautious or am I too naive? Thoughts? (Didn't know it was going to turn into "Dear Daphne" did you?) Thanks, A cool (but maybe recklessly unsafe) dad in Boston Hey Daphne-

He's better now, but for the first 4 or so years of school, he took the exact same thing for lunch, and I am not exaggerating: those nasty orange "cheese/peanut butter crackers", pretzels, a go-gurt and a bottle of water or for fun a Capri Sun. I was sure they were going to turn me in to CPS, but there was nothing else portable I could get him to eat. I always "confessed" to his teacher to make myself feel better.

There is a saying about there are really only 7 stories. Or as a friend once said when she tired of porn, "there are only so many ways s-- a C--" so true, so true. her preschool is going to start hot lunch on Friday, so that should be exciting.

You know I ahve heard every other story in the blogphere and yet to see anything about school lunches. The rush of getting ready in the morning is a real thing, but you always put a fabulous twist on things! haha ummm tomatoes don’t go to great raw.

I like the fact that for a relatively inexpensive price, he gets a good, well balanced hot meal. When a field trip comes up or some function that a sack lunch is required, my son is electrified by the sandwich and goodies and I even decorate the bag. (Makes me beam with pride as if I've really accomplished a major score or something..hehehe) I also include a little Hershey's Kiss for dessert. To this day, I have bad burnout memories from bologna and tunafish sandwiches from my own school years. We do the lunches the school provides (breakfast, too).

Which is great because they can cook and I can't. She buys lunch daily and I know she's getting one decent meal a day, hah! I try.. but I'm not that handy in the kitchen.
