In a previous chapter in my life, I was a preschool teacher. This episode was sandwiched somewhere between being an experimental filmmaker and being a full-time parent. It was the sort of job situation that found me, and one in which I immediately established a sense of mastery and harmony with the role.
I have [...]
A 10 year old boy in Kent was traumatised by events that occurred at school on Tuesday afternoon. The boy in question was just about to start his lunch time snack when he was forced to leave the school canteen by an irate teacher. He was then made to remove the contents of his Action Man lunch box, all that were deemed to be unsuitable by the teaching staff. It was claimed by the head master

All of you daily readers will know that I was struggling with a bit of a hangover yesterday and debating on whether or not to go out last night. Those of you are are expert partiers will know that the best cure for drinking too much, is to go ahead and just drink more.Being an “expert,” this is exactly what I did and it was well worth it. A friend and I went down to Saatchi & Saatchi for the Lunchbox Auction event. I notified all of you about it the other day here, and you can still bid online. All proceeds go to the Food Bank For New York City and The Lunchbox Fund of South Africa to aid in hunger relief. It's a wonderful cause and well worth your dollar.They had the over 100 lunchboxes signed by celebrities out for display and an area where people could place a silent bid. Sadly, Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake did not donate their dick in a box, which would have been hilarious and likely a real price winner.There was one live auction. Mario Batali, in his omnipresent bri
State now urges parents to toss the Chinese-made lunchboxes because of a lead hazardIt wasn't long ago that California public health officials distributed 350,000 Chinese-made canvas lunchboxes to promote healthy eating by school children.Now the state is asking parents to discard the lunchboxes after tests found "significant" levels of lead in some of the canvas bags. The lead was found in only three of the bags tested but officials said they didn't want to take any chances.State bureaucrats are also dealing with charges that they waited too long to notify parents of the hazard.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/09/ca_lunchboxes.html~Sandy G.
After yesterday’s post about Princess’s 7 cavities, I decided to step up efforts to make her school lunches a little more nutritious. She’s so picky and we’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had the energy to deal with anything more than her standard pb&j. We did go with “hot lunch” for a week, but I went to school with her for lunch and was horrified with what they are feeding them. Even their pb&j option included a bag of “whale cheddars” that had trans fats. For real. I’ve been on the anti-trans fat wagon for years now and forgot that they even make stuff with it anymore. I usually give her a juice box (100% juice, of course) and a water bottle with a sports top. I explained to her that the juice isn’t good for her teeth and gave her 2 water bottles instead. She wasn’t too upset watching me pack it, but we’ll see what happens when she actually sits down to eat. I haven’t been sending her
Can you all do me a favor? Scroll down to June 10th to my story about losing my diamond, entitled "Bye Bye Diamond." When I look at it on the main page it appears to have a large grey box covering about 1/3 of it. But when I hit the time stamp to get to just that post with all the comments, the whole thing appears, no grey block.Does everyone else see this grey box? Or is it just my computer playing tricks on me? What the heck could it be? Is it some sort of alien censorship program that doesn't want me finding out who bought my original engagement ring because it was really sent down from Mars and the reason it went missing is because they froze the planet, wiped all of our memories and smashed my ring setting with a martian rock, installed a martian bug under my skin which has since cursed me with a perpetually self-populating zit colony on my jawline, and stole back my diamond because they don't want it being discovered that there are diamonds on Mars, thus instigating a mas
In the thermos:It is snowing here today. Yes, folks. S-N-O-W-I-N-G. And it is "really comin' down" as my husband likes to say every time he looks out the window. Fortunately the ground is warm enough that I don't really think much of it is going to stick. It's just barely cold enough to snow which in our world, really isn't all that cold. I just hope all of my purdy flowers survive. I think they probably should.I never knew how temperate California was until I moved to this fairly volatile climate. Thankfully it's volatile enough that I'm pretty confident that I will be able to blog later on this week about my boys running through the sprinklers and eating Popsicles on the deck.Bag of Chips:I actually won a bloggy giveaway! Design Mom was giving away 10 gift subscriptions to Organize Magazine. God knew I needed this subscription. For being a busy homeschooling Mom of four boys I think I actually do a pretty decent job most the time of keeping things fairly organized thoug
Well, girls, I know I'm preaching to the choir here because 90% of my readers are of the gentler gender but this post is for you 10%, you intelligent men who read my blog, I am now going to showcase some of the most practical and pleasing ways to show the Mom in your life (could be your Mom, could be the Mom of your children) that you just love and appreciate her to no end. Money is no object here! I'm shooting for the stars.So here we go:#1What Mother wouldn't want a year (or MORE!) of Maid Service? Whether she works an office, classroom or field job or whether she spends her days teaching her own children or driving the younger set to and from all manner of appointments, practices and meetings with friends, she will surely appreciate not having to think about whether or not the toilets are company ready or if the shower drain is clogged with 5-20 years worth of grimey build-up. No one could go wrong in getting weekly or bi-weekly or even monthly maid service for that special l
My childhood is but a distant memory but one think I can remember most vividly is the wide assortment of lunchboxes I was packed off to school with and, to be brutally honest, none of them did my credibility amongst my peers any good. But that’s what you would expect, I suppose, passing the hard men amassed at the school gates at the age of 14 with a Thomas the Tank Engine lunchbox.
Now if I’d had this Lego Brick Lunchbox things may have been very different and I could, perhaps, have grown up into a well adjusted adult but at least the school Mafiosi never beat me up in a bid to steal my lunchbox whereas, I strongly suspect that this may not have been the case if I had turned up with this rather cool Lego brick inspired design.

Remember when you were growing up and your Mom made you lunches for school? You never really knew what you were going to get inside. Or maybe you did. Maybe it was Peanutbutter & Jelly every day.Some days I would open my lunchbox and find a cheese sandwich with mayonaisse. A modern day salmonella nightmare. Yum. Some days my mom would fill a thermos with chicken noodle soup. It would be luke warm by the time lunch rolled around. So comforting and yummy on a cold rainy day. Even at just luke warm.My husband remembers receiving love notes on napkins from his mother in his lunchbox. Awww, how sweet.My love of the lunchbox grew over time though I soon traded it in for the ultra-cool paper sack or the stay-cool technology lunch cooler in which the Capri Sun would stay refreshingly refrigerated.At some point I actually became a collector of lunchboxes. I had Sesame Street ones, Star Wars ones, Barn shaped ones, work lunchboxes like the one now pictured on my blog which I especiall
Metal Lunchbox Style Handbags$32.98 and $28.98. These are so cute! I like the bamboo handle and the whimsical drawings, very chick-lit-esque. OK, I'll admit maybe I wouldn't use these in public :P, I'd feel over-the-top cutesy. But I'd love to put them in my bedroom and store my makeup, accessories and other various junk in them. They'd make such happy accents for a room :D

Imagine sending your child off to school with one of these in his lunchbox: http://bananabunker.com/When he is expelled from school for bringing sex toys, or when he is BRUTALLY MOCKED, at least he can say, "My banana is fresher than yours!"Back at home, Mum rests easy knowing she has packed the absolute best lunch, in the best possible way. Love is... a fresh banana. Super!Thanks to Adrianne for the link.
