Binkabox September 2013

I subscribed to the Binkabox Starter for Jack.  :)  It's a small box...  He gets about 2 items each month and it cost $11 a month if you subscribe for 6 months.  There are also bigger Binkaboxes that cost between $19-$28 a month.  :)

 

The box is super cute and super small!  :)

On to the good stuff!  :)

ABC blocks ($18.00) WOW!  These are an expensive set of blocks!  But really well made!

Reusable Snack Bag ($6.00)  I LOVE the idea of reusable snack bags!  Hopefully I will remember to use it!  lol.


Paid $10.00
Value $24.00

Great value!  :)

Googaro September Box

We won this box from the Subscription Box Giveaways group on FaceBook.  :)  So we were pretty excited when we found out that we won!  :)

This is a Googaro Baby Box for September (age 1-2).  When you join this box you choose an age bracket (0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years), the gender and the length of your subscription.  :)  The cost for the 1 month sub is $35.00, for a 6 month sub it's $32.00 a month.

The elephant is so cute!  :) 

All the awesome goodies!

Noisy Trains Bright Baby book ($6.29)--  Jack loved this right away!  :)

Hape Color and Shape Sorter ($13.60)  Jack will like this eventually...  It's for 18+ months.  The only downfall for having to choose an age bracket is that you will get products for older and younger than your childs age.

Stickr (corners) -- ($10.17)  Cute way to display artwork!  :)

Nouri Peanut Butter and Wild Cherry Bar -- ($3.33) Yummy and helps feed children in need?  Awesome!

Bumkins Dr Seuss Wet Bag -- ($12.46)  I wanted one of these!  I am super happy to see it and use it!  :)

Paid: WON IT!  But would have paid $35.00
Value: $45.85

I love that we won this!  All the items will be used!  :)

Binkabox August 2013

So this is a new box to us!  I ordered a 6 month subscription for Jack.  :)  I wanted to get him something considering all of us get something!  :) 

Binkabox is cool!  You can order 3 different boxes the Starter box (1-2 products), Binkabox (3-4 products) or Premium (5-6 products).  And the prices range from $9-$32 depending on which box you choose and if you do monthly payment or buy a longer sub!  I love that there is such a low price!  I really miss the way Bluum used to be and I love that this is not totally like that (no samples) but offers a smaller box!  :)

We choose the 6 month plan Starter box for Jack.  Plus I used a code (BINKA) for 10% off so got it for even cheaper than $9 a month!  Woot woot!

 

Loved the box!  It's really small but was jam packed!  :)

Classy Lil' Sprout Bowtie ($12.00)  CUTENESS!  I can't wait for a day for Jack to wear this!  :)

Finger Puppets ($7.50)  Handmade and perfect for Eli to play with Jack!  :)

Paid $8.59
Value $19.50

I am really excited about this little box for Jack!  I really like the first 2 items they sent!  Can't wait for September to see what comes!  :)

Bluum May 2013-- Giggle Monster Box

So this month we got a Bluum box.  We ordered it for Jack since Eli gets CL every month.  So Jack got the Giggle Monster box and we really liked it!  :)  Bluum is $25.00 a month and they have a different theme for every month of age.  They do have some customer service issues, but I have to say that each box we have gotten from them has been a really good box. 

 

This is the box!  Lots of cute things all around!

 

 

Jack LOVES Mum Mum's so I was super happy to find these.  New flavor (Apple) and a $1.00 off coupon!  SCORE!  ($2.94)

 

 

This is another thing that Jack enjoyed!  Bobo Buddy Caterpillar Paci Holder.  Tonight he had the yellow end in his mouth and was happily chewing on it...  Not the paci!  lol.  It's cute and not to big and you can change out the paci's!  Awesome!  ($13.99)

 

 

BabyBug May/June 2013 toddler magazine.  Cute, but IDK what Jack would do with it other than drool...  lol.  ($3.77)

 

This is cute!  It's called a B Kids Twist n' Smile.  Jack will really enjoy this on the plane ride to New York!  :)  Very colorful and makes rattle sounds too!  ($7.39)

 

 

DreamBaby Bath Tub Thermometer.  Eli loves this one right now!  He loves thermometers.  lol.  ($13.99)

 

 

Angel Dear Monster Blankie.  Jack will LOVE this!  He has a little caterpillar that he likes to sleep with and I think this just might take over!  :)  ($8.17)

 

 

And finally, last but not least, a mOmma teether Fred the Penguin!  Jack already has a walrus one but he really likes it and I think this might make it's way to the freezer soon!  :)  ($5.99)

 

 

Over all this box was perfect for Jack!  The value is estimated at $57.24!  What a great value!  :) :)

Seventh Generation Review (Smiley360)

Thank You, Smiley360 for the chance to review these Seventh Generation products!  :) 

 

 

 

First of all, I am NOT a lotion person.  :/  But for review purposes, I used and tried these lotions.  :)

 

 

I tried the Manderin body wash and got 2 uses out of it.  I liked the clean feeling, but I didn't like the fact that there wasn't really a scent to it.  I like body wash with a scent because I don't use lotion. 

 

The lotion was Lavender scented and I also got 2 uses out of it.  I really liked the scent and it did leave my skin soft.  Rick said that he liked the scent too!  :)

 

My favorite thing for Mom that they sent was the Manderin facial wipe!  It was AWESOME!  I wish they had sent more than one!  Since I am getting older (29 in a week, YIKES!) my face is changing...  It feels much more oily and I don't like it!  :(  But after using this my face felt awesome!  I am totally going to purchase more of these this weekend!  :)

 

Eli used the Baby wash.  It had no scent, which is ok for the kids.  :)  I got one use out of his sample.  He said that he liked it and I think that it left him pretty clean.  :)

 

Eli didn't like the lotion (sensory issues!) so I used the lotion on Jack.  I got one use of out it. Jack seemed to like it.  There was really no smell to this lotion, again ok for the boys!  :)

 

I used the laundry soap on the boys laundry and got one use out of it.  The soap worked great and I really liked the way the clothes felt when they came out of the laundry!  :)

 

Over all, I am impressed by most of the Seventh Generation products!  They seem to be really awesome for a green, clean home!  I would have liked to try some of the other cleaning products, but I guess I will have to try them out another time!  :)

 

I give Seventh Generation an A!

Little Pnuts box review

I am super excited about this box from Little Pnuts!  I won this box from City Mom Blogs Network awhile ago.  :)  I chose to get this box for Jack's age because Eli gets a monthly subscription to Citrus Lane.  I totally loved this box and would subscribe except for the little fact that I don't have a job and am enjoying being a stay at home mom for a while!  :)

Little Pnuts is a quarterly box that comes for ages 0-6!  Huge age range!  :)  You can pay $25 monthly or $240 annualy.  (On another note, this was started by the mom of a 26 weeker!  Awesome to support preemie mama's!)

On to the box!

Such a cute logo!

In each box they include a little pamphlet with info about the special delivery!

This is Tall Tom from Haba. It's a really cool toy!

Bluum Baby Box Review (January)

We have been subscribing to Bluum Baby for about 6 months now.  :)  Some of the boxes have been FANTASTIC!  Some not so much.  But I guess that is what happens when you subscribe to monthly boxes, right? 

In the past they have had smaller boxes with "deluxe" samples and 1 or 2 full size items in each box.  Now (as of February) they have moved up to bigger boxes with more full sized items in it.  I will review our February box when we get it.  :)  But...  (there is always a but!) now the price has gone up!  I believe it was about $15 a box, and now it's gone up to $25 a box!  So that is a little draw back...  I liked getting the box for $15 because it was a cheaper little fun box to get.  :)

So anyways, lets get to the goodies!  :)

This is the small box that they have been using.  :)

This is what the "Tummy Time" box looked like when we opened it. 

The little note that they include in the box.  It's all about tummy time and how important it is.  This is the 4 month old box.

First item out of the box.  A keep-it-kleen binky!  Jack has one of these already and doesn't really like it... 
But it will make a good regift!  :)

Next out was the Triple Paste medicated ointment for diaper rash.  We have used this in the past and it's awesome! 
Excited for a full sized bottle!

Next was and Angel Dear monkey stick rattle.  Jack liked this!  :)  Plus there is a 20% off coupon code with it.

And last but totally not least, Honest Wipes!  I have been REALLY WANTING to try these wipes and
am SUPER excited to recieve these!  :) :) :)  Can't wait to use them!

Total box worth: $18.08 
Over all this box was a good box.  I am excited about the wipes and Jack liked the rattle.  :)
