Yesterday was spent at home with three sick children so a lunchbox was out of the day plan.

Today being a day for FilipinoMomBlog.com’s Tuesday LunchBox Meme, I thought about featuring the food I prepared for the Field Trip we had at the La Mesa Eco Park last November.

I enjoyed doing these even if when I came to, I realized that spending time doing these as well as spending MORE than I intended to, I could have said I shouldn’t have done that yet I know I made the right choice.

Here is a closeup/link of one of the personalized Christmas gift tags while below is a photo of some of the personalized Christmas gift tags I made:
