When a mom names her son Kale, you know she has some creativity up her sleeve.

Every day for the past few months, Jenn Aguilar from Calgary, Canada, has been documenting the "hand drawn lunch bag adventures" she creates for her sons Kale, age 14, and Konnor, age 12, on Instagram.

"I wanted to show my boys how much I love them and give them something to look forward to each and every day," Aguilar wrote to Mashable. "It's my type of love language."

Aguilar's punny cartoons cover a range of topics including superheroes, food, Voldemort, technology and rappers.

"My inspiration comes from whatever the boys are into at the time," Aguilar said. "Sometimes, it's movies we've seen, music we were listening to or just something I think of."





Unsurprisingly, the talented Aguilar has a background in art. 

"I am an avid scrapbooker, painter and mixed medium artist," she said. "I was a professional graphic artist for the YellowPages sometime ago."

Kale and Konnor are big fans of Mom's art – how could they not be? 

"They enjoy them and look forward to seeing them," she said.






"I am humbled by the interest my little project has garnered and appreciative of all the support through my followers on Instagram," Aguilar said.

Is anyone else feeling nostalgic for the days of free lunch?
