The original eco friendly lunch box gets an update with Laptop Lunches 2.0
Can I mention that I'm sort of freaking out about this whole packing a lunch in an actual lunch box thing, which is completely silly because it's just a lunch for goodness sake. So, I'm relying on my daughter's new Laptop Lunch box and bag to get me through this mini-crisis.

It might sound crazy, but if you haven't seen the Laptop Lunch bento box systems over the past couple of years, then you're in for a real treat. They've upgraded their earlier version to feature three BPA-free, watertight containers with lids, a deeper bag, and completely metal silverware. Add in the adorable reusable insulated lunch bags (choose from aliens or flowers) and you've got the perfect complete reusable lunch storage system for your kiddo. Provided, of course, that you've got the kind of kiddo who's responsible enough to come home with all the lunch container pieces you sent him to school with.

The set also includes a Laptop Lunch users guide which features awesome, easy ideas on how to transition into packing yummy, healthy meals for your kids. And you thought I was kidding about crisis intervention. -Kristen
