This time of year always does two things to me....makes me crave being inside with a fire next to the Christmas tree snuggling up with my family OR it drives me crazy with all of the parties/events that we have to do in such a short amount of time.  Don't get me wrong I love all of these fun plans that the holidays bring, but wow is it a struggle to make it all work.

Since doing the Whole 30 a while back I have tried to incorporate the Paleo diet more and more in our daily life.  The area that I struggle with is when it comes to packing the school lunch. If I am being honest I struggle with that even without trying to follow a Paleo diet.  There are so many great foods but the kids only have 20 minutes for lunch.  So what I pack needs to be quick and easy and doesn't make a huge mess.  Because let's face it that messy lunches and a white school uniform shirt do not mix well.
