Meet the BentoMommas! APRIL (on IG: FUNCKEYBENTO) is a momma to two boys, aged 15 and 5. She is originally a scrapbooker and her creative work has been featured in magazines and websites. She works full time - slaves as an hr/admin manager by day, and overtimes as a BentoMomma at night and in the wee hours of the morning. And although she only bentos for one - her youngest, she finds daily inspira
tion in the fact that her little boy eats more and is now willing to try out new food. KAYE (on IG: MOMMA_MAKES_IMBENTO) is a mom of two minions, three felines, a shih tzu who thinks he's human, and three turtles. She is a full-time Marketing Manager who loves to draw, write and sing in the shower. Also loves to cook, but hates prepping and cleaning after her own kitchen mess. She started bento-making in 2008, and has amassed all sorts of bento tools over the years, only to have them collect dust in the attic. She is back to being a BentoMomma now to her 4-year-old toddler, and has actually gone past her 1-month bento limit! She also blogs over at The First Wives Club Blog (http://nappykaye.blogspot.com). MIA (on IG: ) is a BentoMomma to four (gasp!) girls, aged 12, 10, 6 and 3. She is a Domestic Engineer (a.k.a Home Manager or cook, driver, budget person, teacher, doctor, etc.), writer, breastfeeding advocate, attachment parenting follower, and a scrapbooking enthusiast. This BentoMomma got into Scrapfooding a.k.a. Bento-making when her nanny of 6 years left, and she had to prepare the kids' school lunch. She needed to find a good reason to wake up early to prepare their food, and she found that reason in the world of bento. MONEIGH (on IG: BENTOGEHL) is a banker, turned writer, turned bentoholic. She collects anything and everything--from pets to planners, trinkets to tumblers, friends to foes, AND bags to bentos. She tried out bento-making in 2010 as a temporary fix to her then 6-year old son's poor appetite. Now her bentos not only make her son eat well, they always make him smile, too. This BentoMomma has not looked back since - her early morning bento rituals are here to stay. OLIVE (on IG: OBIBENTO) is a momma to two - a girl and a boy. She got into bento-making in order to entice her son - a picky eater, due to a lot of food allergies. She loves to use the "low EQ excuse" (LOL) to hoard and buy bento stuff for herself and her BentoMomma friends. She works as a Home Health nurse and is a brilliant cakepopper!
