Good Bags are available on their site, as well as amazon.com, Abe’s Market, and various zoos, museums, and other family-friendly attractions. They’re also working on getting them in hotel mini bars!

Gramsly recently sent me a box for review, and since I don’t fall within their target age range (phew!), I set up a profile for an older version of myself. 😉 I told them that I was 50, vegan, and liked the color pink. Let’s see what they sent! [read more…]

Ivy Kids July Kit Review, Discount Code & Giveaway! Ends 5/13/14

DSC_0017

Ivy Kids is a new monthly activity box for children aged 3 through 8. It was founded by a certified early childhood educator, turned stay-at-home mom who had begun creating her own activities in order to entertain and educate her kiddos. She found that when she incorporated characters from books into the activities, her children became more engaged. After making kits for her friends and family, who all seemed to love the concept, Ivy Kids was born.

Each Ivy Kids kit contains more than ten activities, along with a book which all of the activities are based upon. The games, projects, and crafts are all designed to “develop fine and gross motor muscles, build math and literacy skills, encourage reading comprehension, and promote scientific thinking”. All of the materials you’ll need are included right in your kit, as well as instructions and age modifications for each project.

I was recently sent both the July and August Ivy Kids kits for review. They were SO packed full of stuff that I’m going to do two separate reviews. This review is for July’s kit. [read more…]

Scrumpt Box Kid’s “Travel Box” Review & Giveaway! Ends 5/28/14

by Wendy Rose — 17 Comments

DSC_0090

Scrumpt is San Francisco-based company that offers healthy, super fresh lunches* delivered right to your door. They currently offer 3 different products: Scrumpt Lunch Box, Scrumpt Travel Survival Kit, and Scrumpt Snack Box.

*There are 2 different versions of the Lunch box available. One that includes perishables (fruits, veggies, meats, etc.) and is only available in the San Francisco area, and another “basic” box that includes a menu, grocery list, and non-perishables (crackers, nut butters, etc.). The basic Lunch box is available nationwide.

All Scrumpt boxes are curated and approved by a panel of pediatricians and nutritionists, so you can be sure that your kiddo is getting all the nutrition he needs. Lunch boxes are also customizable. You can let them know some of your child’s likes and dislikes, so you won’t receive a box that you’ll have to bribe your kid to eat. 😉

The Scrumpt Snack Box, as well as the Travel Survival Kit, are both available nationwide. The Snack Box ($18.95) is a monthly subscription that contains 12-15 servings of kid-friendly, pediatrician & nutritionist approved snacks. The Travel Survival Kit ($18.95) is a one-time purchase box that includes snacks, activities, and toiletries to help keep your kiddo entertained (and fed!) while on the road.

Scrumpt recently sent me one of their Travel Kits and I was excited to see what was inside! [read more…]

Baobest Baobab Foods Superfruit Review & Giveaway! Ends 4/30/14

by Wendy Rose — 25 Comments

DSC_0034

Prior to reviewing the following products, I had no idea what baobab was. NO. IDEA. Hopefully I’m not alone in my baobab ignorance… Let’s learn together! Weeee! 😉

So what is baobab? It’s basically the “King of Superfruits”, that’s what! Produced by the African baobab tree, it’s a raw food that’s bursting with nutritional benefits. It has more antioxidants than the other more commonly known fruits — acai, blueberries, pomegranates and goji berries. Baobab is also packed with soluble fiber as well as high levels of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, iron, and even calcium!

Baobab Foods produces fruit cubes, fruit powders, and drink mixes that utilize this awesome superfood. Their line of Baobest baobab products makes it easy to reap its’ benefits in a convenient, delicious way. 🙂 [read more…]
