Maisie Eats Bento

One of the blogs I came upon today while researching on where to buy a bento box in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was a blog named, Maisie Eats Bento. It's inspiring how the mother, Lisa, created different bentos for her daughter, as to encourage her to eat a wide variety of food, and she watched with joy how her daughter became more adventurous with food. Wow. I find it really inspiring as I never thought of it from that angle. So far, I only thought of doing bento as a way of feeding him more correctly as I stuggle with what to feed the toddler, and perhaps this may be a way of avoiding making mundane repeated food for him, and the family as well.

Lisa is also doing a little giveaway of a starter pack to encourage others as well in this journey. So I have entered my name in the random prize drawing for fun, but am not sure whether can still make it in time. Anyway, thank you , Lisa, for your inspiring blog. Do check out her blog if you'd like to still try to enter the contest (if it's not too late), and especially for ideas on bento packing. :)
