School lunch idea round up!

So both Hilary and I (Jessica) have little girls who will be going to "big girl school" this year...I'd say we were sad about it, but in actuality we're both ecstatic. And so are the girls! One of the hardest parts of school for us, though, is coming up with alternatives to boring old sandwiches for lunches. Because no matter how much your kid loves the classic Pb&J, (and if you school even allows peanut products!) they still get sick of the same old thing like anyone else. So today we've compiled a list of super cute, easy and healthy lunch ideas for back to school!
