Vegan Cuts May Snack Box Review

I’ve been wanting to try a Vegan Cuts Snack Box for a long time, so when they recently offered to send me the May box to review I was beyond excited.

What’s a Vegan Cuts Snack Box, you say? Well, it’s only one of the best subscription boxes out there, that’s what! For $19.95/month, they send you a box chock full o’ vegan goodness. Each box includes 7-10 vegan (and mostly gluten-free) products like treats, household essentials, beauty products, etc. Of course, the majority of the items are snacks, hence the name. Hey, no complaints here!

Okay, so let’s see what’s inside!

Oh, hello box o' vegan treats.

Oh, hello box o’ vegan treats.

Handy dandy info card.

Handy dandy info card.

This cute little information card listed all of the products in this month’s box. The theme was “summer fun time”. Sounds… fun!

Grrrrraw bar.

Grrrrraw bar.

Graw Foods Banana Coconut Grawnola Bar – First up was this raw energy bar. I just received one of these in this month’s Conscious Box as well, but in a different flavor. That bar was pretty tasty, so I assumed this one would be too. As predicted, I was NOT disappointed. Don’t let the “raw/sprouted” thing scare you… These are super satisfying AND delicious.

Cookies!

Cookies!

Ginnybakes Dreamy Vegan Delight Cookies – I was excited to try these cookies because… well, they’re cookies! Sadly, they were kind of on the hard side. (Like “Am I going to break my teeth?” hard.) I did notice a blurb on the package about not using preservatives and freezing them if they’re not promptly eaten. However, I have no idea when they were made, so I don’t know if lack of freshness was the culprit here. BUT, being the cookie fiend that I am, I crunched on… teeth be damned. The flavor (coconut & vanilla) was pretty darn good. I’d be curious to try them again to see if I just got a bad batch.

Hey Vern, it's Earnest Eats.

Hey Vern, it’s Earnest Eats.

Earnest Eats Dark Choco Mint Bar – Yet another product I’ve gotten in a past Conscious Box — But I’m not complaining! I had the Dark Choco Espresso one (which is oddly listed on the info card), and it was delicious. I’ve yet to try this flavor, but I’m sure it’s just as good.

mmm... kettle corn!

mmm… kettle corn!

Angie’s Sweet and Salty Classic Kettle Corn – Mike & I go to a pumpkin festival/carnival every autumn and we always make it a point to buy fresh kettle corn. Nothing beats fresh-from-the-kettle, but this is a close second. SO freakin’ good. Yum!

Super oats.

Super oats.

Vigilant Eats Superfood Cereal – I’ll be honest, I’m a little scared to try this one. It’s packed with lots of healthy ingredients, which is fine, but the preparation makes me kinda skeptical. It says to add cold water & eat. Cold water + oats sounds like a weird, soggy mess to me. Hopefully I’m wrong! I’ll update this once I work up the courage to give it a go. ;)

Hey... you're not a snack!

Hey… you’re not a snack!

Crystal Body Deodorant Towelette – This is actually pretty neat. At first I was like, “Uh, why would I want to wipe a towelette in my pits instead of a regular old stick of deodorant?”. Then I realized that it’s perfect to take with you on those hot, humid summer days when you KNOW you’re gonna start smellin’ funky as your previously applied deo wears off. Kinda wishing I had more of these now…

Coffee. No, tea. Wait...

Coffee. No, tea. Wait…

Teeccino’s Herbal Coffee Hazelnut Tee-Bag – I’ve gotten a similar sample from this company recently, but it was loose grounds that I had to put in my “make your own K-cup” attachment thingy. This “tee-bag” version seems SO much easier. I love hazelnut, so I’m definitely looking forward to trying this.

Chickpeas. Lots of 'em.

Chickpeas. Lots of ‘em.

Saffron Road’s Organic Crunchy Chickpeas Bombay Spice – This bag was HUGE. Six full ounces of chickpea snackin’. Sadly, I wasn’t a fan. They were fairly spicy, which wasn’t a problem. Actually, I kinda figured I wouldn’t be into these when I pulled them out of the box. I guess it’s because I’m more of a “sweets” person when it comes to snacks. I’ve seen other reviews where people LOVED these, so it’s just a matter of personal preference. Different strokes for different folks & all that. :)

Let us take a Journey... a snack-filled one.

Let us take a Journey… a snack-filled one.

Journey Bar Sesame Ginger Savory Nutrition Bar – This was surprisingly good. I was a little intimidated by the “made with real herbs and spices” thing, but it wasn’t as scary as it sounds. The sesame/ginger flavor overpowers the other ingredients, which was a relief. It wasn’t until after the bar was gone that I noticed a hint of onion & garlic. I guess that was the “savory” part. I think it would have been better without it, but what can ya do… It was all part of the Journey. Ha… Ha…

Last one!

Last one!

Bare Fruit Crunchy Apple Chips – The last snack offered something for the fruit fans — apple chips! The package touts that it contains “1 apple in every bag”. I’ve yet to try these, but how bad can they be? They’re apples!

So there it is. My first Vegan Cuts box. I would love to buy a subscription, but I’m not sure I can convince Mike to let me sign up for yet another sub box right now. (Twins are NOT cheap!) However, I’d be more than willing to review future boxes, should Vegan Cuts be generous enough to send me some. ;)

May Citrus Lane Review (& discount)

Welcome home!

Welcome home!

After taking a strange detour from Indiana to New Jersey (and hanging out there for a few days), my May Citrus Lane box finally found its way home.

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box for babies/kiddos up to 5 years old. It’s $25/month (or less with 6 or 12-month subs). Shipping is included. Every box contains at least 4 items, tailored towards the age/gender of your child. My box was for a 9-month old girl (well, girls.)

I initially signed up in March, but since April was already sold out, I had to wait until May to get my first box. Being that I’m the most impatient person EVER when it comes to mail, this was a LONG wait. What made it even worse was seeing everyone else’s spoiler pics on Facebook while my box was stuck in NJ throwing back shots with Snooki & JWoww. (I totally just Googled the correct spelling of JWoww. Really thought there was a hyphen in there.)

Alright, onto the review!

First look.

First look.

I opened the box to find the goodies wrapped up and sealed with a cute little Citrus Lane sticker.

Stacky-stack-stack-stack-stack!

Stacky-stack-stack-stack-stack!

Green Toys Stacker – The first item I pulled out was this neat stacker toy. The girls are finally starting to sit up and crawl around, so this came at the perfect time. I love that this is made from recycled milk jugs and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Brilliant!

I'm jealous of Bear's trip-taking.

I’m jealous of Bear’s trip-taking.

“Bear Takes a Trip” from Barefoot Books – Next up was this cute board book. I flipped through it and noticed that it’s much longer than the other board books I have. Definitely a plus. It also has very colorful illustrations and includes a little lesson on telling time. Neat.

Munchies! Happy ones.

Munchies! Happy ones.

Happy Munchies Rice Cakes (Blueberry & Beet) – I was very happy to see these in my box. I had seen other reviews that included a different brand of snacks which contained dairy. I’m trying to keep the girls as vegan as possible, so I was very relieved that we got these ones instead. Yay!

Soap is dope.

Soap is dope.

Dapple Dish Liquid (Travel Size) – I throw everything in the dishwasher these days, so I’m not sure when I’ll use this. I suppose I can stick it in our diaper bag for emergency washing situations(?).

Something for "mom".

Something for “mom”.

Deep Steep Moisture Stick (Lavender & Chamomile) – I actually received this in my Stork Stack this month, but in a different scent. I haven’t tried it out yet, but I like the idea of a lotion in stick-form. Seems a lot less messy. Less messy is always good.

So that’s what I got in my May box. Pretty cool, right? I’ve seen other reviews that include the retail prices of the items and they definitely exceed the $25 cost of the box. If you’d like to sign up, click on my referral link HERE for $10 off your first month! Score! :)

"Go away mom! We're trying to play here."

Fun with Strangers (Dollar Tree edition).

Another day, another uncomfortable encounter with a stranger.

The place: Dollar Tree checkout line.
The offending stranger: A crotchety old lady. (Who else?)

We stood in line, our little family of 4, waiting for the cashier to scan our goods. Mike handled the transaction, while I stood beside him with the girls. They sat facing away from the rest of the line, not making a peep. Another successful outing with twins.

All of a sudden, I hear a loud, sarcastic “GOOD LUCK!”. I pretend not to notice, until the words are echoed once more. “GOOD LUCK”.

I hesitantly turn around to confront the source of this unwanted commentary on my family. It’s a short, gray-haired woman nodding towards the stroller. “Good luck!”.

I laughed it off and turned back around. Partly because I didn’t want to talk to the lady, and partly because I felt like I had food in my teeth and didn’t want anyone to see.

She didn’t take the hint. “Boys or girls?”, she asked.

I’m not sure why she didn’t consider the possibility of there being one of each, but whatever. That’s a crotchety old lady for ya. “Girls”, I told her.

The words that came out of her mouth next made me want to spit whatever was stuck in my teeth right into her wrinkly old face.

“Ohhh… That’s even worse. Girls are bitches.”

Say whaaaaat? Did she just refer to my sweet little babies as BITCHES? Really?

Again, I laughed it off and turned around. I didn’t want to talk to her before, and I sure as hell didn’t want to after that.

I stood there, disgusted and uncomfortable, praying for the damn cashier to speed it up.

The lady kept yammering on, while I tried my best to tune her out. She said that she hoped I wasn’t offended and I stupidly told her I wasn’t. But really, what would be the point of saying that I was? We’d be out of the store in a matter of minutes, never to see the ignorant hag again.

And eventually we were. Back outside, and onto the next store… Cautiously on the lookout for the next nut-job hellbent on giving us their unsolicited opinions of our bitches children.

Bitches, they are not.

Bitches, they are not.

Conscious Box May Review

It’s that time of the month again (no, not that time) — it’s Conscious Box shipment time!

My May box arrived today, and though it was a far cry from last month’s Mystery Box, it was still fun to dig into. This is the second (I think) in my 6-month subscription. BUT I have a lot more coming, since I recently won a contest on their Facebook page for a 1-year subscription. Woo!

Okay, onto the review…

The box.

The box.

First look… The box inside a box.

The box, unveiled.

The box, unveiled.

Second look… Pretty flowers and dreaded foil packet samples. Boo.

"Nap time, nap time. Time for sleep, time for sleep." (Name that kid's show!)

“Nap time, nap time. Time for sleep, time for sleep.”

Dream Water in Snoozeberry – I guess this is the opposite of an energy drink? I’ve never had a Red Bull, or anything along those lines, so I’m kinda unsure about taking these. I DO have trouble sleeping, so I spose it wouldn’t hurt to try it out on one of those nights that I find myself staring at the ceiling fan at 2am.

For yo' dishes.

For yo’ dishes.

Ecover Automatic Dishwasher Tablets (2) – With two babies, we go through a LOT of dishes/bottles. These eco-friendly dishwasher tabs will definitely get put to use. Only thing about this that kinda bugs me is that it says “Free Sample” right on the package. Sorta sucks the fun out of it, being that I paid for the box/samples I received. Ah well.

"Snacky-snack-snack! Snack-snack!"

“Snacky-snack-snack! Snack-snack!”

Graw Bar Original – This looks tasty. All natural/raw/gluten-free food bar. Snacks are usually my favorite part of these boxes. Sadly, this month was lacking in that department.

Tiny chocolate, boring drink mix.

Tiny chocolate, boring drink mix.

Sacred Chocolate White Passion – This sounds like a title of a porno, but it was actually a piece of chocolate. A teeny, tiny heart-shaped one. It was delicious, and I want more. What a tease.

Ultima Replenisher Supplement Powder – Again, I don’t really use supplement drink-type things, so I’m not too excited about this. Though I did just look at the back of the package & it says you can drink it with hot water. It has a ton of Vitamin C, so maybe I’ll drink it like a hot tea when I’m on the verge of a cold. I dunno.

Foil packets. Meh.

Foil packets. Meh.

Yes to Cucumbers Natural Sunscreen – I’m looking to start using more natural skin/body products, so I was happy to see this in the box. However, the size of the sample is pretty weak.

Veria ID Innerdosha Shampoo & Conditioner – Again, foil packets suck. I don’t even get excited when I get foil packet samples in the mail for FREE. So yeah, I’ll use these, but not too thrilled to get them.

Natural toothpaste & butter cream salve... In foil packets.

Natural toothpaste & butter cream salve… In foil packets.

Earthpaste Amazingly Natural Toothpaste (2 packets) – I was excited to hear that I was getting natural toothpaste in this month’s box… Until (you guessed it!) I saw that they were in the form of foil packets. Ughhhh. At least there’s 2 of them (peppermint & cinnamon). The package says that they’re “safe to eat”, so if teeth-brushing isn’t your thing, eat away!

Suki Body Butter Cream Salve – This is scented with organic lavender extract & organic cocoa butter. Sounds nice. I seem to be getting lots of salves/moisturizers in boxes lately. More snacks, please!

Fennel pollen & "exotic" tea.

Fennel pollen & “exotic” tea.

Pollen Ranch Fennel Pollen – I could smell this stuff as soon as I opened the box. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it’s pleasant. Apparently this is used as a seasoning. There’s a recipe for pork stapled to it, which doesn’t make much sense for a vegan box, but what can ya do. There was already a lot of hoopla over it on Facebook, so I’m kinda over it now. The spice(?) itself is vegan, so whatever.

Bija Lemon Ginger Echinacea Tea – I’m a fan of tea and an even bigger fan of ginger, so this gets a thumbs up. It’s also organic/caffeine-free. Nice.

Filter thingy.

Filter thingy.

GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) Sports Bottle Water Filter – Eh. I use my Brita pitcher to filter my water. I guess this is more for people “on the go” who fill their sports bottles with tap water. If I were someone “on the go”, I’d just fill it with my Brita pitcher water. So… yeah.

zzzzzzzz

zzzzzzzz

Herbamare Original Seasoning – Organic sea salt infused with organic herbs & veggies. I rarely use salt, so I’m not too excited about this one.

The last 2 things were just offers on business cards. Not sure why I bothered including them in the photos. But there they are.

Conscious Box also included a little blue ticket that will be used in some Facebook giveaways in a few days. Hopefully the prizes will be snacks. ;)

 

Disclosure: I purchased this box with my own money. I was not reimbursed by Conscious Box in any way. All opinions are entirely my own.

“Yo mamma so stupid it takes her 2 hours to watch 60 minutes”

Mike drew this for me for Mother's Day. (Missing faces are kind of his thing.)

Mike drew this for me for Mother’s Day. (Missing faces are kind of his thing.) Creepy, but sweet.

It’s Mother’s Day. And for the first time, it’s my day.

Although I’ve held the title for more than 9 months now, it still seems so hard to believe sometimes. That I’m a mom. A mother. I have children. All of those “Yo mamma” jokes are about me now.

As I’ve mentioned before, growing up I was always so terrified of having kids. I had never been a “baby person”. I just didn’t see the appeal. Everything babies did made me gag. All that drooling, spitting up, pooping… No thanks. I didn’t want any part of it.

Yet here I am. A mother — of twins no less — and enjoying the hell out of it.

Sure, there are days that really test my patience. Days where I wish I could just stay in bed and let the girls fend for themselves. Hell, I don’t exactly love getting spit up on. Or changing poop-filled diapers. Or getting sneezed on by someone with a mouth full of pureed peas (totally happened the other day). Yet despite the unpleasant messes it brings, motherhood has been an amazing experience so far.

Looking at those little faces and knowing that I made them… That they came from my body and here they are now… these little people, laughing and playing. It’s beyond incredible.

I feel so lucky to have been given this gift of motherhood. As sappy as that sounds, I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. It really is a gift, and I hope that I always embrace it — split pea sneezes and all.

Daily Dose of Green May Box Review

I am LOVING my mailman this week. Yesterday’s “fun mail” was the May “Daily Dose of Green” box.

This is a new subscription for me, so I was super pumped to see what was inside. The boxes are $15/month (shipping included) and contain “samples of natural, organic, green, Eco-friendly and vegan products to your door in attractive earth friendly packaging”. Yay!

They sounded a lot like Conscious Box to me, so I was curious how the two would compare. (You can see my review of my last Conscious Box [the April Mystery box] here.)

So much gold!

So much gold!

What I saw when I opened the box — it matched my dress! Neat.

Goodies!

Goodies!

My first real “look”. I was pleasantly surprised with how much stuff was packed inside the box. Definitely a good sign.

A... shoe?

A… shoe?

I’m not a fan of heels, but I suppose this is more of a flat. Zing! Aaaanywhoo… This here is one of those paper seed dealies that you plant and (supposedly) watch purty flowers grow. Cute, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Poppy's powder.

Poppy’s powder.

Poppy’s Natural All Purpose Cleaning Powder Whenever I see “Poppy” I think of that episode of Seinfeld where Poppy pees on Jerry’s couch. Perhaps if Jerry had some of this cleaning powder… Ahem… So I’m actually kind of excited about this product. It smells minty and I’ve been looking for something “greener” to clean the bathroom sinks with. This may just be exactly what I need. Woohoo! Thanks Poppy!

mmm... chocolate.

mmm… chocolate.

Health Warrior Chia Bar Chocolate? Peanut butter? VEGAN? I’m sold.

mmm... more choco---soap?

mmm… more choco—soap?

Valenti Organics Dark Raw Chocolate Bar Soap Totally thought this was another edible treat at first. But nope. Soap. It definitely smells chocolate-y, and there’s even a chocolate chip poking out of the side of the thing. I’m just not so sure about using it to wash with. We’ll see.

Yep, lotion.

Yep, lotion.

Be Natural Organics Aloe Leaf Lotion No subscription box is complete without a sample of lotion. This is that sample. I do appreciate the pretty little bag it came in though. :)

Stuff for yo' face.

Stuff for yo’ face.

Aletheia Skin Care Products A teeny pot of exfoliant & a tube of tea tree face wash. I already have a face wash that I use religiously, but I suppose I could give these a whirl.

They really want me to exfoliate.

They really want me to exfoliate.

7th Heaven Moroccan Clay Exfoliating Mask & Bee Organic Body Butter I haven’t used a facial mask since high school, so it’ll be fun to try one out again. Plus this one is all natural/organic. Gnarly, dude. The body butter suggests using it on cracked heels. Heck. Yes. I have some seriously rough heels, so I hope this stuff does the trick.

A little something for the kiddos.

A little something for the kiddos.

Circle of Friends Chocolate-scented Shampoo & Melon-scented Conditioner A weird combo, but I guess kids wouldn’t mind. Of course, my girls are only 9 months and VERY lacking in the hair department, so hopefully these don’t expire(?) before they have a use for ‘em.

So that’s my first Daily Dose of Green box! Not bad for $15 (actually, I snagged a promo code & got mine for $10). I like that they sent such a nice variety of products and that most of them will get used. I also really like that they send you a profile to fill out to help them choose products that will better suit you and your family (Do you have kids? Own a pet?). Oh, and major points for the products being vegan. Saves me a lot of label reading. ;)

May Stork Stack Review (We won! We won!)

Yesterday afternoon I stepped outside to toss a jar into the recycling bin and what did I find waiting for me? My much-anticipated May Stork Stack! Yay!

In early April, I (er, my babies) won a free month’s subscription for coming in 4th in Stork Stack’s “Cutest Baby” contest on Facebook. Now, I’d like to think that we won based solely on the irresistible cuteness of my kiddos, but that totally wasn’t the case. I could have submitted a photo of my left pinkie toe & still came in 4th. The truth is, it was all just a matter of which moms could bug the crap out of their Facebook friends the most. The moms that mercilessly begged for votes on a daily basis, to the ire of their followers, were the ones who came out on top. Trust me, I (and my Facebook friends) know this firsthand. I am freakin’ RELENTLESS.

So with that said, here’s my review!

What I saw upon opening the box. It's Stork Stack's 1-year anniversary! Par-tay!

The goods are unveiled! Ooooh!

The goods are unveiled! Ooooh!

Books! Little teeny ones!

Books! Little teeny ones!

Little Learners Baby’s First Stroller Books* The first item I pulled out of the box was this cute set of stroller books. They have a built-in strip of Velcro that you can loop around your stroller (or anywhere else you’d like to hang a book… NO not THERE, don’t be gross!). The books are pretty sturdy and the illustrations are super cute.

Turtles!

Turtles!

See? Super cute!

Why can't you be a bunny?

Why can’t you be a bunny?

Two-Dees Cat by North American Bear Co. Next up was this orange cat from North American Bear Co. I had read other reviews that featured a pink bunny, so I was kind of hoping for that one. I’m not the biggest fan of cats, but eh, it’s soft and I’m sure the girls will like it. I mean, this box IS for them and all… Oh, and I looked it up on the company’s website and it sells for $16.00. Kinda pricey, so it MUST be good, right? ;)

mmm... Paint!

mmm… Paint!

Wee Can Too Veggie Baby Finger Paint* This looks like a fun product… Edible finger paint! Fruit & veggie powders that turn into “paint” when you add water. Of course I like that it says “vegan” right on the label. Major points for that one. I think I’m going to save this for the summer. It’ll be interesting to see what the girls think of it.

What do we have here? Oh, it's shapes on a sphere.

Rubbabu Foam Ball Yep, it’s a ball. An orange, rubber (foam?) ball. With a velvet-y coating. Sorry, I can’t muster up much enthusiasm for a ball. Perhaps the girls can?

This one's "Just for mom". Says so right on the bottle.

This one’s “Just for mom”. Says so right on the bottle.

Susan Brown’s Baby Naturals Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer* A little something for the mama. It smells nice and promises to moisturize. Also states that it’s not tested on animals and doesn’t contain any animal ingredients. Works for me.

More for mama!

More for mama!

Deep Steep Moisture Stick I’ve never heard of a “moisture stick”, but I’ll give it a go. I have some dry spots that could use a little moisture. (I’m talking about my feet, get your minds outta the gutter already! Geez.)

The last two...

A tiger and a Winkie.

Stephen Joseph Tiger Bank & “Wee Willie Winkie” from Child’s Play The final items were a little ceramic tiger bank and a board book. I had seen other reviews that showed a pink owl instead of the tiger, and was really hoping to get that one to match the nursery. We already have a good collection of banks, so I’m not sure what to do with this little guy. The board book is a nice size, though the “story” is pretty lame. With my luck, this will end up being a favorite that I’ll have to read night after night. Damn you, Winkie!

So that’s what I got in my May Stork Stack. I do need to note that the items marked with an asterisk were NOT included in the regular May boxes (as far as I know). The folks at Stork Stack told me they would send me some extra products with my May stack because I have twins (score!). The 5 items without the asterisks are the ones that were exclusive to this month’s box.

————–

Disclosure: The products above were given to me for winning a contest. I did not receive any other reimbursement for writing this review. All opinions are my own.

Vines & boxes.

I finally got around to putting together the “Late April” edition of “2 weeks in 2 minutes”. Better late than never, no? Hopefully I don’t lose interest in making them anytime soon. I love that I can include so many little glimpses of our days in one cute little video. They’re long enough to get an idea of what we were up to, yet short enough that it doesn’t feel like I’m watching old Aunt Ida’s Florida vacation slides.

The next couple of weeks are going to be exciting for me, mail-wise. (Yes, I consider good mail days “exciting”… That’s my life, folks.) I have 4 subscription boxes coming my way. Woo! I’ll be getting my May Conscious Box, my first Citrus Lane box (got the 1st month for half off), my first Daily Dose of Green box (got 3 months for the price of 2), and the May Stork Stack box (won a free month for 4th place in their “Cutest Baby” contest!).

I’ll post the box reveals/reviews as they arrive. I love reading box reviews on other blogs, so it only makes sense that I write my own too. Well, as long as I can afford to get some boxes. I have no clue how people can afford multiple subscriptions… shizz can get expensive!  (Thank you, promo codes!)

Alright, enough box babble… Here’s the late April video (made with Vine, as always):

Digital photography, how I love you…

NINE MONTHS!

This time I’m gonna skip the “oh my god they’ve grown so faaaast” junk & just get right to the photos. Cos there’s lots of ‘em. (I may have taken 259. So yeah. Lots.)

There's a fan up there, and it is VERY interesting.

I’ll stop myself here. I assure you, there are a LOT more I could post… but I’ll spare you the other 200+ photos. That would make for one mighty long blog post (and many, many unfollowers).

It’s never too early to decide on a career…

I suppose I should be embarrassed (ashamed?) to admit this, but… My babies are addicted to judge shows. And commercials. Especially commercials featuring attorneys. Coincidence?

Sure, I put kid-friendly shows on Netflix for them too. Well, mostly Yo Gabba Gabba (tell me those songs aren’t catchy!). But nothing holds their attention more than a thrilling episode of Judge Joe Brown or an obnoxious commercial for local personal injury attorneys.

I think it all goes back to the womb. When I was pregnant last summer, I was stuck on bed rest and spent my days sprawled out on the couch watching daytime TV. Being that we don’t have cable, daytime TV = non-stop judge shows. Judge Mathis, Judge Alex, Judge Judy, Judge Marilyn Milian, that divorce court judge, and good ol’ Judge Joe Brown. I guess it’s only natural that they feel a connection to them now. Um… right?

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to make them their own little attorney ads to get them ready for their inevitable future careers. (Too soon?)

Hopefully the statute of limitations will have run out on this by the time they turn 18... Don't sue me, girls!

Hopefully the statute of limitations will have run out on this before they turn 18.

If you've watched any judge shows, you KNOW this shit happens ALL THE TIME. I don't get it.
