With my sunshine going to school soon, I reviewed what we might need to bring lunch to school. There are so many choices out there. Here is a summary of what I ended up going with!

Great size for lunch i.e. sandwhich, burritos. To separate different food, I use paper or silicon cupcake holders.

- Kleen Kateen: I love these bottles. We use for water and juice. My kid uses the 12 oz and I use the 18 oz .We have so many and are on our 3rd year with them. The don’t have the weird metal taste and are eco-friendly. The silver ones will not have peeling paint issues. Though, I do like the patterns ones. Pottery Barn has special designs that Kleen Kateen doesn’t carry.
