Go Ahead and Sleep With Your Toddler, Study Says
"After statistical adjustment for socio-demographic characteristics, there were no behavioral or cognitive differences at age 5 between children who bed-shared with a parent during their toddler years and those who did not," researcher Lauren Hale of Stony Brook tells the...

Working Moms Don’t Hurt Their Kids, Study Says
You can stop feeling guilty if you work away from your kids during the day.
Well, a little less guilty, anyway. You are a mother. A certain amount of guilt is part of the job description.
If not freedom from guilt, you can at least find validation from a British study that concludes mothers do not harm their young children emotionally or...

Day 5 - The Kitchen Sink
Well here we are, the 5th and final day of sandwich recipes found all over the web. Except today I took it upon myself to throw some ingredients together and see
if I could create something unique. I also drew inspiration from the Great Sandwich Lawsuit of 2006 that I mentioned in previous posts. Even though...

Day 4 - German Style Ham Sandwich
This is definitely premature, but I think we might have a winner sandwich. Today’s recipe is another one I stumbled across on a random web search. It’s a different take on another lunchbox classic, the Ham Sandwich. Here’s the...

Irish Lunches are Smiling
Apparently the gospel of taking lunch to school or work in creative and useful packaging has reached clear across the Atlantic. Over the weekend, the Irish Times (Ireland’s official Newspaper of Record) published a story about the Built NY insulated lunch bags – they didn’t specify the Gourmet Getaway or the...

Sandwich Wars
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about THE lunchbox food. And by that I mean, what pops into your mind first when you think of the food inside your lunchbox? You might say Peanut Butter & Jelly, but let’s think outside the lunchbox here, people. (okay I know that was bad, but I couldn’t resist) Really the first thing out of someone’s mouth is probably going to be “Sandwich”. Be it a PBJ or a ham & swiss or a turkey and lettuce...

The Deluxe Lunch Chiller lunchbox is the ideal way to pack healthy, nutritious meals to take with you to work, school, or play! The lid has a large storage area to hold your utensils, napkin,...
