how to make a bento box lunch

I don’t have kids yet, but I like to think I’m qualified to offer advice on them because 1) I have spent a bajillion hours babysitting and 2) I like a lot of the same things kids like. So when I say, “hey do this for your kid,” I’m also suggesting things that I already do for myself. And lunch is included in that suggestion, and not just regular lunch, but really fun lunch.

organizing natasha's pantry

My friend (and C&S partner!) Natasha just moved and asked me to help her plan a pantry system that wouldn't dissolve into mayhem after a few months of use (as pantries often do). She's lucky to have a pantry space with pull out drawers, but even with this luxury, without a system these drawers could quickly become overloaded with food. Check out what we did below, hopefully it will help you get your pantry in shape, too. (And if you still feel overwhelmed, you can hire me to come do it for you!).
