For those new to the blog, I work from home mostly (it has it's good & not so good points) so as long as I can get access to wifi and a phone I am good to go. The great weather lately (it's about to get triple digit HOT) has had me spending most of the afternoon outside. These have been some of the latest bento box lunches & snacks I have brought with me. Hope it gives you a few ideas and inspires you to spend more time outside whether it's lunch on the patio or a picnic with a view on the weekend.
