A week or so ago, however, I happened upon one of the "OG" Bloggers MaryMia and her "Salsa in China" blog. It was a take your hat off and stay a while moment. I paged through and hung out reading up on her adventures with her adorable twin girls. I missed her and missed the community.
M3 sure has a lot of fun with mommying, blogging and photographing. She's even been named a winning "Mommy Blogger" by Scholastic - how cool is that? I was particularly taken with her photo journaling of lunchtime around the Salsa Home in the form of Bento Boxes, twin style (click here to see her fantastic flickr collection). Brilliant. And, yes, I wanted a part of that action. Just a little piece of the cuteness.
There just so happens to be a Daiso shop nearly walking distance from where I work. They had a full- on Bento Box section that was easy to navigate but difficult to leave. The colors and the cute wee shapes just pulled me in. Here is my starter pack:
My excuse for buying these toys? Easy. I promised to help my sister entertain/occupy her one year old and nearly 3 year old during their father's lengthy graduation ceremony. I brought crayons and little toys.
But the Bento Boxies definitely stole the show. And, I think, saved us from a simmering and likely meltdown.
My proudest moment? They ate the tofu!
Yay!
Score one more point for Auntie!! (Maybe two?)

They even ate tofu!! Awesome.
PS I think 3 Auntie points
Cool! I was wondering where I could get stuff like that. Mind getting me some stuff, I'll pay you back!!
I love her Bento pictures too - thinking of starting down that route with ZZ starting full-day school next year. He already eats the small bites - I just don't have the cute boxes yet!
And yes - big, big points for Auntie!
Hey you did GREAT!! Wanna come over and help me pack up a few bento lunches? We'll pay you with all the edamame and strawberries you can eat (the girls' faves right now). :-)
PS: What's an OG Blogger? Is it a good thing or a bad thing. Dying of curiosity.
I love that they ate tofu!!! I really need to get on the bento bandwagon! Your bento looks great.
Lina's lunches get packed into this cute little Bento.
