Cute, cute boys……good job, Laurie….

I love the menu list for lunches. Thanks for sharing.
These are awesome, thank you! I have a question. I have just started a Wellness Blog for our school, so I have been putting links like this to give people healthy and fun lunch ideas. I was wondering what it rule or etiquette is for using a picture from the post. For example, would it be OK for me to use the picture of the lunch menu in your post if it links to here? I make sure that in my posts I only give a brief overview, and the reader has to go to the website for the information. They look so much better with pictures, so I hope that it is OK! Thanks!

Is there a way to modify the checklist? I want to make it as simple as possible by taking items off that aren’t an option. Great stuff. Love that I found your website!
I am so sad – the lunch list won’t open.
What am I doing wrong? What program should I have to open it? I would really having a list for my children to pick from! – Thanks!
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or not but I can’t seem to get the PDF to download correctly. When I do its all jumbled and nothing but symbols. Could you help please? Thanks!
