Sharing what I pack for my child’s day at kindergarten

I am now a mom who packs lunches! I am loving our OmieBox because it holds so much and is easy to use!

Today I packed a peanut butter & jelly sandwich made with fresh homemade bread, my blueberry-cherry chia jam, and natural peanut butter drizzled with honey in his [@omielifeinc] box.
On the side: applesauce topped with homemade granola, a Babybel cheese wheel, and some crunchy seaweed sheets.⁠

⁠

The win? His teacher told me he ate everything for the first time since starting Kindi on his own! She even asked if he was a vegetarian because it was all meat-free (he’s not a vegetarian 😅). But I love mixing it up and showing him new flavors.⁠

⁠

Now that he’s more comfortable at school, I’ll be sending more lunch-focused boxes his way! So, stay tuned for what’s next!⁠

⁠

Moms and parents: What’s your toddler’s favorite lunch combo? Share below, I’m always looking for inspiration!⁠

It’s the day after Gideon’s first day without me at his German kindergarten, and I’m just so proud of the effort he’s putting in, especially since this transition isn’t the easiest. 🥹⁠
⁠
Once again, he didn’t eat everything in his lunch box, but that’s okay. I know with time he’ll feel more comfortable eating at school and find his little routine. For now, I’m focusing on packing things I know he enjoys while keeping everything easy to manage.⁠
⁠
Here’s what went in today’s lunch:⁠
* Yogurt with smashed blueberries (yes, I had a little mom anxiety moment and made sure they were not choking hazards) + homemade granola⁠
* Freeze-dried strawberry & coconut snack with fruit + veggie Cheerios⁠
* A boiled egg sprinkled with Tajín⁠
⁠
Packed in our @omielifeinc OmieBox 💛⁠
⁠
If you’ve been through this stage, what helped your little one start eating more confidently at school? I’d love to hear your tips!⁠

It’s a few days after Gideon’s first day at German kindergarten without me, and guess what? He’s finally excited to go! To celebrate, I made pancakes (his request for the past couple of days) topped with a little yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. 
Of course, I kept a little tradition alive with smashed blueberries, though I suspect we might be wrapping up this blueberry phase soon! I also packed some chicken sausages for protein, keeping it simple and easy.
 He ate just about everything, which was a success! (Except for the blueberries… those came home, and that’s totally fine.) 
Transitioning and adjusting to school life is helping me figure out what works best for him, and I’m excited to keep sharing ideas for lunches that are simple, practical, and toddler-approved. Perfect timing too, as school is starting for kids around the world! 
What’s your toddler’s current lunchbox favorite? Drop your ideas, I’d love to add them to my rotation!

Today was a big one: it was Gideon’s first day attending German kindergarten without me by his side. Up until now, I’ve been going to school with him each day to support his transition (which I love as part of the German acclimation process ❤️). But this morning, he was ready to try it solo, and I couldn’t be prouder.⁠
⁠
To make the day a little easier, I packed some of his favorite comfort foods:⁠
* Yogurt with frozen mangoes and my homemade granola⁠
* Chicken sausages⁠
* Chocolate cookies (yes, random—but he needed something sweet to soften the tough moments)⁠
⁠
When he came home, most of his lunch was still untouched… except the cookies. And honestly, I get it. It was a big day emotionally. These early transitions can be hard on little ones, but I know he’ll find his groove. And this new chapter will help him grow in such amazing ways. ⁠
⁠
Have you been through this transition with your little one? I’d love to hear what helped you both adjust.⁠

Back with another Pack My Toddler’s Lunch for German Kindergarten after a week of solo parenting (which, by the way, deserves its own series 😅).⁠
⁠
Here’s what went in the box today:⁠
New paprika crispy crackers (big hit so far!)⁠
A boiled egg — yes, the controversial boiled egg that sparked quite a debate in my last post! Don’t worry, he eats it within an hour of arriving, and he loves it.⁠
Chicken sausages⁠
Yogurt topped with my favorite hack: frozen mango chunks + homemade granola for crunch.⁠
⁠
All packed in our @omielifeinc lunch box, which makes organizing these little meals so much easier.⁠
⁠
What’s one snack your kids always request? I love adding new ideas to my rotation!⁠

So many of you had questions about German kindi (aka kindergarten/preschool), and I promise I’ll explain what it is and isn’t in a future video. For now, here’s a peek at what I packed today—it’s a quick one!⁠
⁠
* Leftover burrito (made by my husband—thank you, private chef #2 😂)⁠
* Tortilla chips⁠
* German apple sauce topped with homemade granola⁠
* A few sweet, nutty snacks⁠
⁠
That’s it! Simple, nourishing, and toddler-approved!⁠
⁠
What do you usually pack for your little one’s lunch? I’d love to trade ideas and keep this series helpful!⁠
