The efforts undertaken to prepare the meal to ensure all nutritious food items are being included and the creative ways used to present the food in the bento box underlie the unspoken love and affection of the maker.
One mom upped her affection quotient intelligently by slipping a note to her child at the bottom of the bento box meal thanking her for finishing her lunch to the last morsel.
