So blogging is a relatively new activity for me; I still feel like I am standing in front of an audience and expected to tell a joke…A funny thing happened to me on the way to the blog, that sort of thing. Anyway, a funny thing did happen, I enjoyed it. I find it a great way to communicate to others far and wide with similar interests. It is a way to rant, rave, and share.
Let me introduce myself. Hi, I’m Beth Ann. I am a wife and the mother of four children ages 10, 8, 6, and 4. We live east of San Francisco in the Tri Valley area. Our house is affectionately referred to as “Camp Crazy.” It is a fun, busy household that gets really messy and a bit nuts at times. I have been known to motivate loudly (yell) and persuasively encourage (demand) from time to time, but all in all life here is good.
I am also known as the mom who gardens with the students at my children’s school and the one that loves to cook. I pack lunch for my kids almost every day and I am currently going to school to get my certification as a Nutrition Educator. What am I doing online writing a blog and launching a website you ask? Call it therapy if you want, or escapism or just something to do with my free time (HA HA).
As my children have started school, I have struggled with the ‘lunch on the go’ dilemma. Having grown up in the restaurant business, I know far too much about food safety to freak me out about how long lunch stays in a lunchbox before eaten, and the look of the hot school lunch is…well we will go into that another time. As a result, I started trying out recipes and ideas on my children and sharing the ideas with friends. Fast forward a few years and iLunchBox is born, with the help and guidance of the wonderful women at Mambo Media.
Come visit my site and send me your great ideas for lunch on the go or a story about how you or someone else improved the lunch program or snack policy at your school. I look forward to speaking with you.
BA
