The day is bright and sunny, sky is clear, and it feels like we are moving towards Spring! I never did pay attention to what that old groundhog saw, but I’ve heard it doesn’t apply to us in East Tennessee anyways.

We have some practical and fun features today on the blog hop!

Be sure to check them out and visit a few more of the blogs to say a friendly hello!

Have fun hopping!

Oh, I’ve been thinking about sack lunches some more here lately. Like every single day!

My last video talks about some tips on those, plus I have a post up from my archives with similar tips on using a Thermos for hot lunches.

This is the thermos we use here. We have four of them now that are almost always in use.

Vegan Hoy Lunches in a Thermos is the blog post where you’ll find lots of helpful information about how to best use your thermos.
