On the rare mornings that I can wake up 15 minutes earlier than my usual time of 6.30am, I will try to make some special breakfast bentos for Big Bee. However, these occasions are highly infrequent! I really should try to make more of these personalised breakfast bentos for Big Bee, especially after seeing the ceaseless grin of delighted felicity on her face after I hurriedly created the breakfast set below. It is nothing fanciful, as I am not good with food in general, but I think she really appreciated that I put in some effort to make it special for her.
Simple blackcurrant jam bread with a stick of green grapes, a box of mini Oreos and a tiny cup of yellow marshmellows - personalised with her name!
She proudly swayed the "My Melody" lunchbox all the way to school and told me after school that her breakfast bento attracted a lot of attention from her friends and form teacher!
I guess that's the simple joy of motherhood - making a breakfast with affection and care, infusing everything we do for our children with tenderness and love.

Nice! I wish I had such bentos when I was young!
viv: Thanks, babe. There are other mummies who made gorgeous creations...but you know me...not that great with food ;)
You're too humble! If I am a mum one day, I shall steal your ideas.
Yellowgiraffe: Sure - all mothers are meant to share ideas :) Am sure you will have some fantastic ideas of your own too!
