Healthy Alternatives with LapTop Lunches - Bento Box Style Lunches

We love the idea of un-conventional, and healthy lunches for our children.

And with school just around the corner - maybe it's time to turn over a new leaf and really commit to making sure our kids are fueled properly!


LapTop Lunches is one company who have really taken that commitment to the next level.

 

SIGG Back to School Lunch Ideas!

We have always loved SIGG, and their kids line of BPA free water bottles, aluminum lunch boxes and thermal gear.

(We do not receive any financial benefit from these features, we simply love these products!)

For us, it’s important to protect what’s precious: SIGG only uses raw materials that are free from BPA and phthalates to ensure that SIGG bottles don’t contain harmful substances. Thanks to the special liner, they are easy to clean and absolutely neutral in taste, so you can fill them with cold drinks and fruit juices.
