Box Me Mommy February 2014

So excited to have found a box like this!  This is Box Me Mommy and this box contains things for mom AND kids!  Yes, there is an option for MULTIPLE kids!  :)  Woo Hoo!!!

This is the Mommy + Us box for Mom, 1 year old and 4 year old.  Woot! 

The cost of this box is $33.00 a month, with a discount if you purchase a multiple month subscription. 

(Oh and they go up to age 6!!!  Not a lot of boxes go to that age!)

So lets see the awesomeness!  :)


This is the box!  Cuteness!  And it was a BIG box!  It was about 1 hand tall and about 3 hands wide!  WOW!


First peak at the goodies.  They include a product list in the box.  :)


All the goodness!  :)


The snacks:
Smart Puffs Real Wisconsin Cheddar X2 ($2.00)  I am hoping that Eli will like them, I know Jack will!  lol

The toys:

Well, this was Eli's last Citrus Lane and of course it was a good month!  lol.  ;)  Jack will continue getting CL so you won't miss reviews!  :)

I liked this box, but I hope that next month's box brings a nail polish!  :)  I am totally jealous of the 2 that were in this months boxes that some got!

My FAVORITE box came!  YEAH!  I <3 Fortune Cookie Soap boxes!  :)  This is the Spring Soap box and let me tell you, all I had to do was open the mailbox and I could SMELL this box!  So so delicious!  :)


OMG!  I can't even believe that it's here!  lol


Me So Thorny Steam Me Up Scotty! (Smells like citrus, lavender, French vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood)
The Bloom Bloom Room Bath Fizzy (Smells like jasmine, lilac and lily of the valley, fresh peach, citrus and spun sugar!

The price of the FCSB is $19.00, BUT you get a $10.00 code in your box to use on the website or in the store!  So it's like paying $9.00 for the box!  :)  TOTALLY worth it in my opinion!  :)

Googaro February 2014

So I saw a sale on Googaro boxes for $18.00 for 1 month... So I bit for Jack and got one!  :)  I am not keeping this subscription though I would LOVE to!  It is a fantastic box and I think that I should have gotten this one as the annual subscription for Jack but ce-la-vie!  :)

Mabel's Labels Chatterbox

We were chosen for a Mabel's Labels Chatterbox from House Party!  :)

I am SUPER excited!  Why?  Because I have been wanting to try Mabel's Labels FOREVER!  :)  So we got Eli's name on the labels because he will be going to VPK next August.


He choose the shark for the design.  Super cute!  :) 

When we got chosen for the Chatterbox, we got a FREE basic kit.  So we received 24 Skinny-Minis, 42 Tag Mates, 8 Shoe Labels and 2 Bag Tags!  We also received some $10 off coupon codes!  (So if someone would like one, please let me know!)

These stickers are great!  They will stick on most anything and stay there so that things will be returned to the owner!  I love that!  I just wish that there was a tracker in the shoe stickers so that I could find the shoes in the house!  lol.  ;)

The bag tags are perfect for back packs, lunch boxes, duffle bags, anything that might need a tag! 

Overall, I am really impressed with the quality of the Mabel's Labels labels and bag tags!  :)
