So I heard about this new “Good Moms Do This” technique. Bento Boxes for meals and snacks. What the Eff are Bento Boxes? And WHY do I need to do this? Cookie cutters, cute boxes, health food? Really?
And then I realize…I am THAT NickMom!
I will never be a Bento Mom – but I will be a Pinterest FAIL mom. Thankfully I know I am not alone.
THIS describes me.
Let’s start from the beginning – thank you Nickelodeon for outlining who I am as a Mother and not make me feel like an Ass! Seriously…
How I look for a snack for my son and daughter:
Sure my kid loves yogurt and cookies – fantastic snack for my kid. Keep it balanced and no one gets hurt!
Broccoli Quinoa Bites? Oh yeah, my kid would hate me when I gave him that…I envision Quinoa on the walls…WTF is Quinoa?
Gummy Worms – heck ya and the hubs and I eat them with him. Even let the 1 year old sneak bite last night! MY KIDS LOVE ME!!! MOM OF THE YEAR!
Kale Chips– Sure…can you imagine the poop that we would see after this snack? Sorry TMI – if you are parent though, you just agreed with me.
Clif Bars are for adults who want others to believe they are training for a marathon.
Actual Fruit vs. Fruit Snacks – so much easier to open a bag of fruit snacks right? Most Fruit Snacks are REAL fruit anyways right? JUST KIDDING…sort of…
Cupcakes and Soda – BIRTHDAY PARTY HELL! Great fun for everyone :EYE ROLL:
Ants on a Log – Great idea, until your 3 year old freaks out that you just tried to get him to eat ants!!!

And for the best one yet – BENTO BOX!!!
Food groups covered, cute cut outs, fancy designs, amazing boxes, a meal fit for a Princess! PUKE! What parent has time for that crap? Seriously, and even if I did have an extra 2 hours a day to play with food you know my Bento Box (that sounded creepy) would NEVER meet Bento Box standards!
Just add it to my Pinterest Fail board! CHECK!!
Thankfully my son hasn’t found the world of Bento and until he does, he will eat these and freakin enjoy it!
So what do I do to make myself feel better about not amounting to a Bento Box Mom? I log onto NickMom.com and have a laugh with other moms.
This is an educational site for Moms only, also if you add wine (at least one bottle) you will learn that you are the best mother on the planet.
I AM THE BEST MOM ON THE PLANET!!!
Okay…fess up! What does your snack offering say about you? Check out the page on Nick and tell us! Follow NickMom on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest laugh.

That is Hilarious!
Fun post! I have found myself watching NickMom at times….
OMG! This made me laugh so hard! Love the granola face!
HU-Larious. I'm SO glad I'm not the only non-bento mom out there. Have you also noticed that bento moms are like the happiest people to be moms? I'm like, "yeah, I had kids so that someone would take care of me when I'm old and I am really just looking forward to seeing them through college and into successful careers to ensure my well being when I'm decrepit." No sunshine and unicorn farts over toddlerhood here! Wait. We were talking about snacks . . . .#client
