http://happylittlebento.blogspot.com/ I love this one.

There are loads, but I don't want to overwhelm you, lol

No, I don't think your OH would like to open his lunchbox at work, discovering cute Bento.:rotfl:

I've discovered the last blog the other night but the first two are new to me so i think i will have a read tonight when kids are in bed! But i know i will get bento envy! Whenever i read blogs and they mentioned these cheap bento selling store like Ichiban Kan. I wish we had that store here!! Apparently its the equivalent to the dollar store! Imagine bento items for like a pound...:eek:

Here is DD's bento for today, I thought I would try a theme and today it is circle
I am spending so much less on her lunch now that we not just popping into Sainsbury, and she is eating better, namely fruit, she would hardly ever just pick up a bit of fruit from the fruitbowl at home but she eats it from her Bento. And unbeknown to her, this way I also limit her eating of chocolate and crisps;) (she hasn't complained yet)



in her Bento: bagel with salad and meat, a ladybird babybel, round teriyaki crackers, cucumber, mini oreo biscuits, sweetcorn, round slices of apple and orange, grapes cut in half.

Today's Bento


and mine, with an attempt of making tamagoyaki (omelette roll), it didn't quite turn out round but it tasted nice anyway
