I have always loved to plan parties for my family. I remember starting planning holiday fun when my two oldest were 5 and 2. That was a magical age. I stayed at home all day with my girls and we didn't make a lot of money, so I remember trying to create Holiday Fun for us. It started to become a tradition and my girls loved to see what would happen on holidays. Even when I went back to work outside the home they still loved when I would create Holiday Fun for them, even if it was on a much smaller scale.
Pinterest has so many ideas for themed meals, parties and activities. So if you feel in the mood to create some Themed Meal Time check out our pinterest board and some of these food ideas we have done in the past.

Use a book for Inspiration:
Try using shapes to create lunch whether it is a orange for a circle, pizza for a triangle
or using a cookie cutter to cut heart shape PB and J's.
