Being a mom is not a competitive sport. Sometimes though, I do things that make me look like 'THAT Mom". Really, I just need a creative outlet, a glimmer of fun, in the daily grind.

Bento SCORE!
The kids needed new lunch boxes. The sandwich size boxes and two-tier boxes no longer hold enough food to fill them up. These are growing kids! I have been searching and searching for a good replacement. Laptop Lunchboxes and LunchBots have been high on my "coveted" list.
Last week, I almost broke down! I had a shopping cart ready to go with a Laptop Lunchbox system for each kid..to the tune of $60+ !! For some reason, I couldn't pull the trigger. The very next day, I went garage sale-ing and SCORE!
That's right, a BRAND NEW laptop lunchbox set plus two Buddie add-on sets and a napkin. The mom said her kids did not like the sets! I paid $2 for everything in this photo!!! TWO DOLLARS! I was beyond thrilled! I also scored four brand new (tags still on!) wide-mouth lunch thermos for $3 from the same lady. Talk about a bargain shopping high!
It gets better though! I went to a church rummage sale yesterday and found ANOTHER blue Laptop Lunchbox system for $1. This one was used and was missing a small inner container, but who cares? I have plenty of spare inner containers and now I have two outer containers. $60 plus worth of lunch boxes for $3. So great!!
