It doesn’t have to be stressful, just sit down and write out your school plan on foods your kids like to eat and create a few easy kid’s school lunch and snack ideas and keep them on a list.
That way when you go to the market, you know what items to pick up and you can have them ready. You can do a new list every month with a few changes so they won’t get bored of the same ole’ same ole’ thing.
