From Bento Boxes to Dorm Rooms

Kia Ora! Back-to-school looks a little different this year. Instead of attempting to wake a teenager and hope she'll pack her own bento box, I’m sending two back to college and the youngest off as well. Hard to believe there was a time when 5am wake-ups meant the sound of tiny feet and hungry mouths.

Back then, mornings were all about keeping things moving – getting a healthy breakfast and a happy start to the day, with the occasional attempt at a quick workout (ambition was never the issue… execution, maybe). I also tried to make sure they learned to do things for themselves; pack their bags, make their lunch – basic stuff, but it adds up.

Now it's the excitement of seeing where life will lead them and looking forward to the visits that we'll make. They’re independent and out there doing their thing!

And just so they don't forget us and Buffalo, I set them up with a Top Seedz subscription. Because let’s be real — college food habits aren’t always top-tier. 

Wishing you and your family all the best as you head into this new school season, no matter what stage of the journey you're in!

Your friend,

Rebecca
