You might not be able to put together an incredible Princess themed bento box for your kids every morning, but you can surprise them with a little note left in their lunch. Though writing out "have a good day" is always an option, there are some more creative phrases...even if it is early in the morning. Keep a stack of sticky notes by the sandwich bags and slip in a message before they run off to school; here are 27 ideas to get you started:

1. If the world was a sundae, you'd be the cherry on top!

2. Share your smile with someone new today

3. Hoping today totally rocks!

4. Love you to the moon and back

5. I'm just nuts about you! (This phrase is extra cute if paired with a Peanut Butter sandwich)

6. What do elephants wear on their legs? ElePANTS!

7. Don't forget to "bee" awesome!

8. Go ahead, eat dessert first

9. Thinking of you!

10. I know you are working hard today, keep it up!

11. Love you, pumpkin

21. We go together like peas and carrots

22. You are "dino-mite" !

23. "Eye" love you!

24. You are one smart cookie! (Cookies not necessary"�but you'd earn some serious mom points)
