Have I ever told you how much I dislike lunch? Figuring out what to feed the kids when they are home for lunch drives me crazy! However I’ve been feeding kids for 25+ years and have some some pretty simple homeschool lunch ideas that will work for your family too!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve decided that lunch is the homeschool mom’s nemesis, the required interruption in an otherwise orderly and organized day. \ud83d\ude09 I’ve often said I wish we could skip lunch, but I have a few children who would object.<\/p>\n

When you child is learning from home,\u00a0lunch is not the end of their homeschool day.<\/strong> Lunch is the midpoint,\u00a0 if I fill them up with carbs and sugar they aren’t able to learn from 1-3pm. It also makes things like “quiet time” a bit of a struggle.<\/p>\n

Since I usually make a hot breakfast and dinner I don’t really want or have time to make a hot lunch, even though I know it would probably be the cheapest option for my family.<\/p>\n

And if I’m being honest, after spending all morning with the kids helping them with school (and then a good portion of the afternoon) I crave a tiny bit of peace and quiet at lunch.<\/p>\n

The reality is, I’m not going to get it because #kids, but I definitely don’t want to be cleaning up one more major mess at lunchtime.<\/p>\n

I do remember one friend who would help her kids make lunch and then take her own lunch up to her bedroom to eat in peace. This was probably one of the best parenting hacks I’ve heard in my life.<\/p>\n
