The June Pretend Play Projects box from My Pretend Place was a total hit with my girls. Music and painting? Heck yes!
My Pretend Place Pretend Play Projects box is geared towards children 3 to 8 years old. It contains all of the materials needed to complete a new pretend play item each month. They actually include enough materials to make 2 of each project — perfect for siblings or friends to join in the fun. [read more…]
Ecocentric Mom time again! I still get the “Mom & Baby” box (for babies up to 18 months) because despite my girls almost being 3, I find myself using the majority of the products anyway.
If you’re unaware, Ecocentric Mom is a unique subscription box that features mom & baby products that are eco-friendly, natural, organic, and often vegan-friendly. There are 3 different box options to choose from. I (still) subscribe to the “Mom & Baby” box, but they also offer a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. They also recently announced a new “Ecocentric Box” for women in general (moms and non-moms alike!).
Ivy Kids time! My girls are finally taking more interest in crafts and semi-structured activities, so I was excited to see what was in store for June’s box.
If you’re not aware, Ivy Kids is a 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.
Every Ivy Kids kit contains more than 10 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. [read more…]
I’ve been ordering a ton of outfits from FabKids lately but haven’t made it a point to review any of them, which is silly since like half of my kiddos’ spring clothes have been shipped to us in one of these bright pink bags. F’real.
If you’re unaware, FabKids is a monthly clothing subscription for toddlers (starting at size 2) and kids up to size 12. Each month you get to choose a new 2-piece outfit from the selections on their site (girls and boys collections are available).
There are plenty of different outfits to choose from (and mix n’ match) with more being added regularly, but if nothing appeals to you (or your little one), no problem! — You can totally skip a month… or two… or as many as you’d like. You’re never *forced* to buy anything. Ever. (Just don’t forget to skip at the beginning of the month!) [read more…]
May’s Kloverbox arrived a bit later than usual (due to a delay with one of the products), but it still managed to slide into home right before the start of the new month.
If you’re new here, Kloverbox is a monthly subscription box that features eco-friendly products ranging anywhere from snacks and personal products to makeup, household goods, and more. The purpose of the box is to introduce you to “cleaner” versions of the products you use on a daily basis. The subscription is $25/month (shipping included) or less with longer commitments. (Psst… You can save 10% off any length subscription when you use my exclusive coupon code “2LRB10” at checkout!!) [read more…]
I really enjoyed last month’s Whistle Work Box (reviewed here), so naturally I was happy to see the June box sitting in my mailbox. Yay for unexpected boxes!
Whistle Work Box is a monthly subscription box that sends you a selection of fun office supplies and novelty items to brighten up your workspace. [read more…]
TomBox (formerly Swaag Box) is a “time of the month” box that sends you your choice of brand name pads/tampons, as well as jewelry, makeup, and treats.
I reviewed TomBox back in October (as Swaag Box) and was impressed with the amount of products included, as well as the overall value. They recently contacted me about reviewing a current box, so I was totally happy to oblige.
TomBox offers a super customizable experience, from choosing your brand of pads/tampons, to your style of jewelry, skin tone, style preferences, and more. [read more…]
I just reviewed the women’s version of May’s Better Half Box yesterday, so now it’s time to have a look at the men’s version!
Better Half Box is a brand new subscription box that offers two different themes per month — one for women and another for men. Each box will contain 6 to 8 full sized products. They could be anything from home goods, to beauty, fashion, and more. Special edition boxes for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays will also be available for purchase in their online shop.

Time for another Fit Snack review! It’s always fun to discover new healthy snacks and this box does a great job at introducing them.
Fit Snack doesn’t just toss any ol’ snacks into their boxes. They have a set of guidelines that help them choose items that are both well balanced and nutrient dense. When selecting products to include in the box, they use the Fit Snack “Perfect 10″. Put simply, they look for snacks that fall into one or more of these categories: Nutrient Dense (high in protein, complex carbs, low sugar index), Consciously Made (GMO free, organic production, sustainably farmed), and Diversified Energy (gluten free, clean eating, paleo, raw).

Avery & Austin is a new subscription box that provides all the materials needed to host the perfect playdate for your child.
Each box will contain enough supplies to make a craft or activity (or both) for 2 children, as well as a healthy snack (for 2), and even a “hostess gift” for mom. The projects are aimed at children aged 4 through 12, though with enough supervision, younger kiddos can enjoy them as well. [read more…]
