We won! (Green Kids Crafts giveaway)

So we won a Green Kids Crafts giveaway!  It was a $50 gift certificate to Box Play for KidsBox Play for Kids is a very green awesome company.  They are basically stickers that you use to change something (toilet paper roll, paper towel roll, mac and cheese box, tissue box, egg carton, etc) into something else (bowling pins, buildings, baseball bats, etc).  There are different sets that you can buy that include different stickers, or you can buy individual stickers.  They even have party sets!  :)  One of the sets that I bought is the 10 shark party set for a water play date that I am planning for the summer!

We had already heard of Box Play for Kids because we won a set from Box Play for Kids from a Stork Stack giveaway a couple of months ago but we haven't used that set yet. 

For $50 we got a TON of stuff!


We got a set of 3 bowling pins, a set of 3 buildings, 2 baseball bats, 10 sharks,
a binocular set and a super hero wrist band set!

Eli wanted to make the binoculars today.

Good thing we had 2 toilet paper rolls!

Arm and Hammer Toothpaste Mission

Woot Woot!  I was choosen for an Arm and Hammer Sensitive Toothpaste mission from Smiley360.com.  I am super excited about using this as sometimes my teeth freak out a little when I eat cold things.  I am going to use this for 2 weeks and then I will blog again about the results!
 
I recieved this for free from Smiley360.com to in exchange for an unbiased review of the product.

Barefoot Books

Since we subscribe to Citrus Lane and recieved a Barefoot Book a couple of months ago, we were sent a survey about the books.  After completing the survey I got a $15 coupon code for a free book!  Awesome!  Usually when you get these codes they don't include shipping...  But this one did!  So Eli scored a free book and I was able to use the code because I didn't have to pay shipping!  Woot woot!!
