Chinese New Year Rooster Bento Lunch!

January 27, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Rooster Bento Lunch

Gong Hey Fat Choy! This year is the year of the Rooster, and Chinese New Year celebrations kick off on Saturday, January 28th, continuing for 7 days. We’re celebrating with a Rooster Bento Lunch to kick off the start of the festivities.

Every 12 years is a Rooster year. The Rooster ranks tenth among the 12 animals in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle. A year of the Rooster always follows a Monkey year (which follows a Sheep year). As Metro Vancouver is a super multi-cultural region, there is no shortage of fun, cultural experiences to take part in this time of year.

Celebrate Chinese New Year, and the Year of the Rooster with this Rooster Bento Lunch

Today’s Rooster Bento Lunch consists of a Peanut Butter and Jelly sammie with carrot and red pepper accents, Chicago Mix popcorn, a kiwi and some cherry tomatoes. All packed in our Easy Lunch Boxes.

Do you celebrate Chinese New Year? What Zodiac sign are you?

Well, that’s a wrap on my final maternity leave! Back to work for this girl!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Re-entering the workforce is looking a little different this time around. Working from home means I’m going to have to be even more diligent with taking breaks and making time for myself, something that I’ve historically not been very good at. It also means that my screen time is going to be increasing exponentially. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In anticipation of my return to work, I picked up a pair of @sojovision bluelight glasses from Amazon. They shipped super fast, are a great fit and look super cute if I do say so myself!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you use bluelight glasses?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Never did I think I would have my daughter’s cak Never did I think I would have my daughter’s cake smash on the floor of an arcade, but as I’ve said with all the other weird things I’ve done over the last year... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here we are! 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had two milestone pandemic birthdays two days apart - 16 and one, so I rented out the amazing @capcityarcade and had our own little birthday party. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The joys of having a big family is that even during a pandemic, there’s always enough people for a party! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s your favourite retro video game? I got lost in pong (although it was called something else), and impressed my kids by getting the high score! 💪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One year (and a day) of loving you! 💕 What a y One year (and a day) of loving you! 💕

What a year it’s been. Much like everything else in my life I came into this whole new mom again role with high expectations. I had so many plans to do all the things I missed doing with Smalls as a baby because of her open heart surgery. 

Sadly, the pandemic took many of my dreams for this maternity leave away. What it did do however was gave me even more time with all of my kids. It gave the kids more time to watch their baby sister grow, learn and develop and I am so amazingly grateful for that.

I am so fortunate to have the most amazing kids, four different and truly outstanding little humans.

I can not even begin to believe it’s been a year, I blinked and here we are. 

Happy birthday my sweet babe. I love you more than words. 💕💕

Virtual Baby Shower Gíveaway - Day 5! 👶🏻 Virtual Baby Shower Gíveaway - Day 5! 👶🏻

I shared a meme on Facebook while I was pregnant with Brooklyn, it was poking fun at how the second, third, and in this case fourth baby don’t have the meticulously curated baby book that the first child gets.

This rang true with my second and subsequent children for sure, but that stops here.

I’m a big fan of minimalistic baby things and this @stashandstory modern and functional baby book box is exactly that.

This sleek book and box pulls double duty as a space share memories and also keep them. Hospital bracelet and name card, tiny hand and foot prints, and soon all of her artwork will be meticulously stored in this gorgeous keepsake. I can’t wait to fill the pages with the same excitement as I did with my first child (sorry Smalls! 🤣)
