Googling through some of the incredible Bento moms, I am always impressed at the skill and care and CUTE that goes into their childrens' lunch boxes. A attends Yochien - Japanese preschool/kindergarten - and I am required to send her with a packed bento twice a week - Tuesdays are full bento days and on Fridays I am supposed to send her with something to accompany the school-provided bread and milk.
My bentos are not super kawaii or anything, but I definitely am trying (and learning!) and A really enjoys it, too. It's something fun that I hope to continue even after we've left Japan. (Which means that much to my husband's dismay, I have already begun stocking up on tools and supplies...)
At the urging of my friend
Kristin, I have decided I'll post the photos of A's (and eventually C's, too) bento lunches here - only when cute enough to display though! Hopefully at some point I'll be blogging here regularly. (Read: Hopefully at some point I'll have something interesting enough to blog about here regularly!)
