Resource Find - 365 Activities

Hi everyone,

So you remember a while ago how I posted about 501 TV Free Activities for Kids by Diana Hodges?

While op-shopping a couple weeks ago, look what I found...

Only $5 for both! That's a total of 1,231 DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES (I checked). I could not believe my luck!

I am really excited, I have just started implementing planning for my focus child so these books will really come in handy and provide me with some inspiration.

Where do you find inspiration for planning experiences?
Any op-shop finds to share?

Comment, leave me a note, send me a PM!

My Bento Box

Hi all!

So recently I looked at what I have been doing for lunch when I'm at uni and realised I was spending a lot of money on food. I bought lunch with my friends, we went out to Melbourne Central for lunch, if I felt like a coffee...I would buy one and so on.

There was also the issue of time. In the morning I'm struggling to get up , have a shower and get dressed and out the door without worrying if there's something for me to eat at lunch time. Plus I did my time, I ate sandwiches for my 13 years of schooling so if I end up with a sandwich in my handbag there is a 100% chance that I am not going to eat it.

So there's the problem, what's my solution? A Tumblr teacher blogger came to my rescue . While scrolling mindlessly, I saw a post about a bento box and how this teacher was using this. Consider my mind blown.

The physical box is a sectioned lunchbox that can be seen in many different shapes and sizes and in the end, I ended up buying the Bentgo.

The Bentgo Box

And it has changed my lunchtime for good.

I use the top sections  for my snack type foods like pretzels, popcorn, cut vegetables, fruit and crackers . The bottom usually holds my 'main meal', so maybe tuna and rice,  noodles ad stir fry or rice paper rolls. The colour of the box, a lovely purple, really stands out in my bag….plus it's pretty.

One of my favourite parts of this box is the built in cutlery. I will never leave my fork/knife/spoon at home again. The food areas are microwavable for up to three minutes and another plus is that the box is dishwasher safe. No more hand-washing!

I had to buy the box online, since the box has only been available since March this year and only available in the US. I bought mine from LunchBoxes.com since most other online stores were out of stock of the purple.

It did take awhile to come, close to 5 weeks, which has been the only problem I have had with my experience with the box so far.

If you are interested, here are some links for purchasing the box:
