About October's Stack,

Little ones are just as fascinated by the box a gift comes in as the gift itself, and it's never "just a box", it's a spaceship, a hideout, a treasure chest, or even a friend. This month, you can literally turn an old box into a caterpillar or camera (thanks to Box Play for Kids), an everyday routine into a clever song with Harmonica Pocket, or make friends with a robot or dinosaur from North American Bear Co. To keep up with your race-car driver-princess-photographer, you're going to need the healthy energy boost that KIND Bars provide.


My Photos:

 

Everything arrives in a very pretty box! It's like a ray of sunshine on your doorstep!!

Then in each box it includes a nifty note listing and describing every item in the box and also another lovely letter tailored to your child's age (about what they are doing this month and different mannerisms that your child may be going through) I just love how this "note" was included it makes the box seem so much more personal and I just love reading about my children's different "ages & Stages" information, I feel like I can never learn enough about them!



Now what was in this box:


From North American Bear Co., My Own Monster : This is just adorable and perfect for October/Halloween Not a Scary monster (my almost 2 yr old is terrified of all Halloween Decor and I have no idea why my other children love Halloween). This soft cuddly sweet "monster" was an instant favorite with my toddler and has been adopted into her "baby Family" (only elite stuffed animals make it into this with her lol they are the ones that she favors and must have with her always)

Isn't it just too cute!

 

 

Green Toys- Race Car: I was thrilled to see this in the box for my daughter, most people/companies still don't seem to understand that little girl like cars too! My daughter picks superheros and trains over tea party and dress up so I just loved finding a PINK car in this box for her, it goes without saying that she is thoroughly enjoying this! And to make this product even better it is totally made up of recycled products (milk jugs) and it's totally free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, and external coatings, so it's truly safe for little ones!

Lovely PINK race car!

 

 

Box Play for Kids- Caterpillar Camera- This is so cool, when I first opened the box and saw this product I just was in aw of why I have never seen this product before! I mean it's perfect for kids who love pretend play and Mine totally do! With this product you can turn an ordinary Mac&Cheese Box into a "camera" for your little one's imaginations! Simply peel the sticker off and apply to your used box and voila you have a new "toy" for your little ones! This was a big hit in our home and kept little ones busy playing photographer while I got to cook in peace lol!

 

 

So cool!

 

 

 

Then Something for Moms

 

Kind Bars- I love Kind Bars they are not only healthy but yummy, and great for a go filling meal/snack on the go! I never have time for breakfast and sometimes lunch so these are wonderful to eat in the car while picking up and dropping kids off at schools!

 

And Last but not Least

Harmonica Pocket-Apple Apple: I honestly haven't got a chance to listen to this yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow morning on the way to and from schools, I'm always looking for great kids music that I don't hate and the ONE we do have is getting so old I sometimes "pretend" that the radio is "broken" just so we don't have to listen to it! But from what I've read on about this CD, Apple Apple, it's suppose to be so fun for kids and families to enjoy together! I can't wait to try this out!

Such cute packaging and this is all recorded "greenly" at a studio ran on solar power!

Overall I LOVE Stork Stack, this box contained great products that I already loved and several that I discovered through the box! It's a great collection of products that a truly selected for YOUR child, gender and age and I love that it's not just a generic box sent to all where you would get something not even relevant to your child's age, with Stork Stack you know that the products you are sent are specifically picked with your child's needs in mind!

Creative Gluten Free Treats with udi's

I was Recently sent a Box full of Goodies from udi's to help create some taste Gluten Free Creations!

If you aren't familiar with udi's, here is a little info before we get started

About Udi's Gluten Free Foods:Udi’s is determined to show you a new way to approach gluten-free living. Don’t waste another bite on bland, crumbly, and tasteless food. We create delicious products that will fill your stomach and warm your soul. We revolutionized the gluten-free category by introducing the first gluten-free bread that tastes and looks like ‘real’ bread. Thanks to our loyal customers, Udi’s is the #1 gluten-free baked goods brand!

Okay so my family and I are not Gluten intolerant, but I have considered starting a low gluten/gluten free diet, but I'm totally new to this and still learning but I'm going to share a few of my "recipes/ideas" I made with the product above


First off using the Chocolate Chia Muffin Tops (which are amazing by themselves by the way)
I made a Smore type chocolaty marshmallow goo that my kids totally loved

What you'll need :

• 2 of the Chocolate Chia Muffin Tops
• 1 Large Marshmallow
• 1 Hersey Kiss

Directions:
Simply assemble like you would a smore (the Muffin tops in place of the graham crackers) and Place on a baking sheet on 300 for just a few minutes (just watch to see when it's all melted together) and I'm sure you could use the microwave I just thought it might make the "smore" a little too smushy

Overall The kids LOVED these smores we cut them in half and shared, these were just warm and wonderful I loved how the cake (muffin tops) took the place of the Graham crackers it was just Delicious!







Second "creation"

"Candied Apples Rolled in udi's Vanilla Granola"

Ingredients:

• Large Apples (we used red delicious)
•  gluten-free prepackaged caramel squares (available at almost any store)
• Sticks (to put in the apple)
• Bag of Udi's Vanilla Granola

Directions:

Wash/dry and prepare your apples by placing the stick in them, then melt your caramels according to your packaging (mine was in the microwave) dip your apples in the caramel then simply roll them in the Udi's Vanilla Granola and place on wax paper to cool! It's such a simple way to make such a fall fun treat Gluten free and friendly for all to enjoy!

(the udi's granola is wonderful on yogurt! and my son loves to roll his bananas in yogurt then roll it in the granola!)


Third "transformation/Creation"

Using the brownie bites I don't even know if this is "creation" title worthy but it is yummy!

I love Heating these wonderful Brownie bites up and crumbling them in Breyers All Natural Ice Cream Coffee flavored (which is Gluten Free!) the great flavor of the coffee Ice Cream plus these brownie bites are to die for just so GOOD I mean I've had non gluten free brownies that are nowhere near as good as these brownie bites by Udi's!!!

Overall I love Udi's Gluten Free Products and I'm looking forward to learning more about the Gluten free lifestyle!
There are SO many ways to use these gluten-free products!

 

 

As you can see from the picture above I still have 2 other Udi's products that I'm trying to think of something out of the box to create with (1 a loaf of Udi's cinnamon raisin bread, and some snicker doodle cookies) Leave me a comment with any ideas that you may have for these yummy products!!

Happy Green Bee Review & GIveaway

Happy Green Bee is a New (TO ME) company that makes beautiful Organic Clothing for Children.

 

And Why buy organic clothing you may ask?  I know I was one of those who had no idea Why you should buy organic clothing, I mean food I could understand, but clothing I didn't put 2 and 2 together the number one reason you should have organic clothing especially children's clothing is,

 

Cotton clothing retains harmful toxic residues, often causing rashes and eczema on sensitive skin

 Clothing made with organically grown cotton does not retain toxic residues; it is a pure, natural, and breathable fiber.

 

My children suffer from eczema, and once I switched mainly to organic (no not all of their clothing is organic only pieces) I noticed that Their skin wasn't bothering them as much so either it is a strange coincidence or the Organic really made a difference, I''m going to go with the Organic made the Difference!!

 

Happy Green Bee sent me this lovely reversible Petal dress for my youngest daughter

 

 

 

One side is White with Black polka-dots and the other is Black and White Stripes!! This dress is just so adorable! The Material is so soft and just by the feel of it I know that it will be a sturdy fabric that holds up in the wash!

 

and My favorite part about Happy Green Bee's clothing is that unlike most organic clothing that is normally blah and mute in color, their clothing is Bright and Vibrant and whimsical just plain fun it reminds me of what a child would actually design and love to wear!

 

Overall Happy Green Bee is a great, fun shop for Organic Children's clothing!

Citrus Zing Review

I'm a avid water drinker, I mean I only drink water, except the occasional NEEDED energy drink, and coffee, So My Main drink is water (no sodas fruity juice junk just water). So when I discover a product that add a little "zing" to water I was super curious and luckily got to try out the Citrus Zinger by ZingAnything!

 

 

You are probably wondering what a Citrus Zinger is?!

 

Here is a little about the Citrus Zinger:

 

 

 

When life gives you lemons, give it the Citrus Zinger. It's so simple, so easy, and so tasty. Designed specifically for citrus fruits, Zing away with lemons, limes, clementines, and more.

The Citrus Zinger offers an easy way to extract juice and flavor from citrus fruits and infuse them directly into your water bottle. Citrus Zinging is great for the active, on-the-go water drinker. Take it to yoga, the office, and around town. Enrich your water with vitamin C and flavonoids, and let the Citrus Zinger take you to that sunny, perfect day you long for, every day.

 

 

 

 

My experiences with the Citrus Zing are great! It is so easy to operate and is simple to clean and allows you to enjoy creating tasty new infusions instead of just plain water!

 

How easy is the Citrus Zinger to use?
Simply unscrew the bottom cup of the Zinger, flip the vessel on the top cap, and press a citrus half into the reamer. Screw back on the bottom lid, add water through the cap opening, shake and enjoy. It took me about 3 mins to add my fruit (a small grapefruit) and assemble and fill the water bottle, so very very simple and no more buying expensive Plastic throw away bottles of flavor water, with the citrus zing you can have great tasting water without hurting your bank account or the environment!

 

                            

 

 

 

 

 

 

Features of the Citrus Zinger:

 

finger hole provided for easy carrying

wide mouth top allows for easy filling and ice cubes, if needed

cushioned base through a soft rubber base pad to prevent slippage

health-safe materials – BPA/EA-free Eastman Tritan Plastic

easy to clean – removable citrus press

reusable

carbonated water friendly

28oz bottle

Overall The Citrus Zinger is a great product to add a little Zing to your normal water, and it's reusable and super easy to use/clean!

I was sent their Submarine Underwater Wall Decal Kit

 

 

I Chose the Submarine Underwater Wall Decal Kit for my kids bathroom, that was in desperate need of some decor!

 

First off these decals are AMAZING, I mean I've used a lot of different type decals in the past and I didn't expect such great quality (not saying I thought that they would be bad) but these decals from Sticker Hub are, let me say it again, AMAZING! The material is so high quality and durable (in the past with other decals I've used for kids rooms the decal rips while peeling them off) but not these they are thick and just wonderfully made! And they are truly removable, I changed my mind on a few placements so I just peeled off the decal (no wall damage at all couldn't even tell it was there) and then I moved it to the new desired placement with no troubles at all! These are honestly the best kid wall decals that I've ever used!

 

 

Here are my bathroom mini makeover before and after pics!

 

BEFORE

 

 

 

AFTER

 

 

 

 

 

Look how wonderful the bathroom looks now! And it was so easy, literally took me less than 20 mins and that was with "help" from 3 little kiddos!
