Babiekins Magazine

Funkins // From Japan with Love

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief Leave a Comment

Hello everybody! My name is Eric Pfleeger and I am a stay at home dad. I will be a regular guest blogger here so I just wanted to introduce myself briefly. I hope you all enjoy the post and I’ll see you again next week!

My stay at home dad skills were put to the test just recently while my wife was on a job in Asia for 3 1/2 weeks. Japan was the one place that she was able to shop and here are a few of the things she brought back. Pretty much everything is for our daughter’s lunches. They take their lunchtime pretty seriously over there. And from what my wife brought back, it seems everything is pretty dang cute. She found this amazing fabric that our daughter helped sew into napkins for school and then there are these foil papers that they wrap their sandwiches in that have happy faces all over them. One of my favorite items is an egg carrier with very minimal graphics to represent a chick. The egg sits perfectly inside with about an eighth of an inch space around it. Tomorrow begins the second week of kindergarten for our daughter and I am very excited to spruce up the lunch situation. That’s right, Japan brought back the fun in my lunch making, and hopefully my daughter’s lunch receiving. Today I am wrapping a sandwich in nifty foil paper with smiley faces and sticking little plastic letters in it that spell her name. Followed by cute little bunny boxes containing small steamed vegetables. The napkins are one of a kind hand sewn by her and her mommy and will be strawberry pattern this time. Next time they will have acorns. I might even throw in one of those plastic sushi grass things. I know…I’m out of control. This enthusiasm might even last through the week.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
