Posted today without comment. Summer is weird.
Typically, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, and 2-4 get handwritten napkins, but for the Summer Edition, we will be searching for consistency and hopefully a routine. Today, texts for all.

Hey, look up. 🌕
On July 29, the full Buck Moon will light up the night sky.
Named for the time of year when male deer begin growing new antlers, July’s full moon is a good reminder to step outside, slow down and spend a little time gazing at the night sky.
