I am on a new workout plan and I am sick of spending my money on subway every day for lunch. I was wondering if there is anything quick and easy to make besides sandwiches. I am busy all day every day so I am constantly in a rush and I am staying away from fast food. Most of the time my mother makes my lunch for me because I never have time to do it myself. I really want to make it as quick and easy as possible for her because she has spent so much time for me and I'm sure she would like a change in what she makes so that she isn't making the same thing over and over again.
Thanks in advance.

I personally prefer a good hot lunch to sandwiches. I would get a good insulated thermos and fill it with warm things like soup, ramen noodles with broccoli florets, spaghetti, or even leftovers from last night's dinner. For 15 easy packed lunch ideas, go here: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/15-fresh-brown-bag-lunch-ideas Also find two weeks' worth of healthy packed lunch ideas here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8913826/ns/health-childrens_health/t/home-packed-lunches-your-kids-will-eat/
Some other ideas are wraps, pitas, mini pizzas (put pizza sauce and cheese on bagels or sandwich thins), pasta salad, and mini quiches. When I was having to do this, my usual lunch was last night's leftovers. It was easier for me to make a little extra dinner the night before and just go ahead and pack it away for my lunch. Hope those ideas help. Good luck.

Whats your childrens schedule?

The more answers the better. I am about to open a home daycare and want to set a schedule. So I figured I'd ask the experts (you- the moms) what schedule works best for your child. Meals, Nap times, Free-time, and so on. Thank you for your help.
Also, since you're here. What would you like to see in your childs daycare, any suggestions. Thanks again!
Answer
I have a two year old son. He wakes about 9:30 every morning and picks out his own breakfast (with healthy help from mom) and after breakfast we play games or go outside... About 12:30 he's ready for lunch. I play kid songs while I cook and he cleans up his toys from this morning, about the time we're both done he sits down to eat. After lunch he takes a bath and gets ready for an outing or more play. Our play, after lunch, points more towards learning and discovery then the morning's "free time". After all of that it's about time for Daddy to come home and he plays and visits with him while I finish up dinner which comes about 6:30. He eats well and gets a little hyper after dinner right before bed time. So depending on how messy he gets or if he needs some calming, there'll be another bath before bed time at 9. There are somedays he plays harder and goes to bed earlier, and somedays he naps longer and stays up a little later. I stick as close to schedule as possible, as he craves routine, but a little difference in the day to day is nice. Such as throwing in a playdate with friends or cousins! Which are things I'd also look for in a daycare, scheduling close to mine. Reading is a favorite with my son and so is pretend time with cars and blocks. I love educational toys, but tend to rely more on teaching him myself. Every now and again a kid's movie is nice, with some cuddling on the couch and healthy snacks.
I've never left my son at a daycare on a regular basis, but have been considering trying one for afternoon errands and gym sessions. Growing up, my own mother had a daycare, so I'm pretty picky. I like to see scheduling and not too many children so mine will get one on one time. I also like to know that it's sparkling clean and to hear how things went during the day with a progress report (verbal or written) or even some take home items such as color sheets he did that day. As a mother I'm also very picky about the diaper bag, if I brought extra clothes, he shouldn't be filthy or dripping at the end of day, y'know? A mother knows her child and to see a willingness or excitement to go back to the daycare would mean a lot! If I must leave my child in the care of someone who isn't family, I'm missing out on time with him, so to know he's having fun,learning, and getting loving contact as he would get from family is very comforting! A warm heart is a must and a love for children is transparent to a mother! I'm already sure you'll do just fine, as you are already looking for pointers right from the source! Good luck and much love-
