Atypical & Awesome, “Pack a Lunch”

The little things are the big things. Partly due to health reasons, partly due to time issues, and also partly due to simple personal preferences I’ve been packing a lunch for work over five years now. I have had an assortment of designer lunch bags and take pride in my overall corporate cuteness- lol.

This morning as I was packing, I thought about how healing packing a lunch can be. My “littles” are past the mom packing my lunch stage so in a way, this helps me relive those times. I also get to pack exactly what I want- I don’t have to answer to anyone and I can eat throughput the day in the privacy of my own office. For someone with a “lil” social anxiety when it comes to eating around others, this is huge.

I love my current lunch bags. They are Vera Bradley and one is large and covered in tomatoes. I also have a smaller one with bees on it. I love them. Today, I have packed an Uncrustables, chips, yogurt, watermelon, Nutter Butter cookies and a variety of drinks. You know, maybe I do need to keep that butterfly sandwich cutter after all.
