Can you believe it is time to start packing school lunches again? I got a head start by sitting down with my kids and making a weekly meal plan for kids school lunch ideas. Not only did the kids help me plan their school lunch menu, they went grocery shopping with me at Smith's. They helped me find everything on our list and more.
