弁当 ... {Bento} ~ Feature Post

No... I don't study Japanese and I probably never will. I think it's nice to explore different cultures..

I was recently inspired by a super cute etsy shop I discovered via instagram. It's called BentoAday.. it sells adorable little lunch boxes {=bento}, together with little forks, tiny sauce bottles, everything you need to make a school lunch incredibly cute!

I read on wikipedia that Japanese housewives often spend time and energy on a carefully prepared lunch box for their spouse, child, or themselves. Many American women do the same! Especially during time of school... this type of lunch boxes would make me excited to prepare a lunch for my children and I know that they would be excited to eat it!! It's really something I want to buy... it's on my wish-list {I need to make some money and sell something from my shop first!}. Just go take a look and you will fall in love with the cuteness sold by April Crosier in her BentoADay shop!!

This picture speaks by itself!! Today is my 35th Birthday and I spent a wonderful day at home with my family. ♥ My guests prepared a delicious lunch for me...and my husband a beautiful Crostata di Fragole (Strawberry Tart), exactly what I used to have for my birthday when I was little. My kids covered me with hugs and kisses and drew beautiful cards. I received emails and phone calls from Italy.. What else could I ask for? Nothing.. really. I can only thank God for everything He gives me and does for me everyday.
