Freebie Friday: Adorable Bento lunchbox

Leigh Austin of She’s Crafty and I are huge fans of bento lunchboxes. My kids have two-tiered lunchboxes, but now I’m thinking about ordering one or two of these as well.

Today, I’m offered a brand-spanking-new bento from BalanceDayBags. As you can see, it’s really, really cute!

Look at those cats!

Here’s the product description:

• Fabric: 70 D PVC Nylon • 2 elastic straps in each side to hold drinks, ice packs, and cutlery in place • Enough room in each section to fit a full size sandwich container (upright), drink, and a couple of snacks! • Fits any lunch size thermos: You can keep your hot food on one side and cold on the other! • Uniquely and carefully designed to fit into all backpacks, but still hold more litterless containers than any other lunch bag! • Easy to clean high quality vinyl shell, insulated easy to clean liner

To enter this giveaway, leave a comment below telling me your child’s favorite packed lunch. (I’m always looking for new ideas!)

And guess what — Leigh is offering a free bento today as well. So make sure you head over to her blog and enter there as well!

Deadline is Tuesday. We’ll announce the two winners on Wednesday!

A Christmas Freebie Friday: The Gifts

If, like me, you’re trying to stress to your children that Christmas is about not just getting, but giving, here’s a book that may help further your efforts. Since the holiday is so close, this is going to be a quick and dirty contest. Leave a comment below explaining how you emphasize the giving aspect of Christmas and I’ll draw a name and announce a winner Sunday.

Mia is almost ready for Christmas — all she needs now is a Christmas tree. But on her way home with the three, an old man slips right in front of her. Of course, Mia stops to help him up. Then she meets a little boy who has lost his hat. Mia can’t just let him stand there crying. When she finally gets home, it is too late to get a Christmas tree. Or is it? This magical story about the true spirit of Christmas giving is sure to become a holiday favorite.

My review will run in a few weeks. But since I’m done with the DVD, I’m holding a little contest on this here ol’ blog.

Leave me a comment describing the cleverest, brainiest scheme your little one has ever pulled off. Or attempted to pull off. I love hearing stories about the toddler set’s efforts to dupe the parents.

I’ll pick a winner Tuesday!
