I am always excited to get Bluum. Bluum is $24.95 a month and each month, you get an assortment of goodies from lotions to toys and books for your child. Bluum curates each box by ages. Each theme is the same every month for every age, but the products within each box are different from month to month and from box to box. Bluum can be a bit different but I always like my boxes. I have heard they can be hard to cancel, so sign up with a re-loadable prepaid card. First Look Generally items don’t fit the themes, but I was surprised by all the colorful items in the box. Information Card Bluum sends an information card with each month’s theme. The back has more detailed information about your child during that month. The list of items in the box is emailed once your box is delivered. Early Lingo Colors and Shapes at the Park part 1 of 12 $20.00 I received another Early Lingo in my Stork Stack box. I like that this is part 1 of the series. I am still not crazy about having a dvd for my 20 month old. I will let my 4 year old watch this. It is always good to teach children another language.

Last month’s Stork Stack was a big disappointment to me. I was a little nervous about this month, and hoped it would be better. I am happy that Stork Stack delivered! This was a good month. Stork Stack is $27.99 a month but if you click HERE and use the code EA4827B9, you will save $10.00 on your first box. Stork Stack is for newborn to 3 years old. This month’s theme was “The Five Senses“. This box was for a 18 month old boy. I love Stork Stack’s Tissue Paper P’Kolino: Puzzle Stacker Mini $24.99 This month’s toy represented the sense of sight (to see which toy to play with). T, my 18 month old, loves this toy. It was hard to get him down for nap, because he kept playing with this. This one item is worth almost the price of the box. I love wooden toys and this is very well made. North American Bear: Silly Old Rabbit $12.00 This rabbit represents the sense of touch. The rabbit is super cuddly. There are 3 different color variations of the rabbit and this is the one I was hoping to get. Mr Rabbit is currently cuddling with T for nap time. My Super Foods: MySuperSnack (soft) Granola Bites $ 2.35 These are for the sense of taste. These are apple raisin soft granola bites. T hasn’t tried these yet but they feel very soft. I think T will likes these. Weleda: Calendula Weather Protection Cream $10.59 This is for the sense of smell. I have received this in another box before. It works really well in the winter to protect little one’s cheeks from getting chapped. LARABAR $1.56 This is for the sense of taste. This is made with blueberries, cashews and dates with a dash of lemon andContinue Reading
It was hard to decide what Julep Maven box to get. I loved the red in Classic with a twist. Anisa. I really wasn’t crazy about the grey-beige color, Winona. I also loved It Girl this month. I decided to stay with Classic with a Twist and trade Winona on a swap board. Julep is $19.95 a month, but the nice part is, you can skip any month. When you sign up, you fill out a style profile, and are assigned to one of five styles: Modern Beauty, It Girl, Bombshell, BoHo Glam, and Classic with a Twist, Every month, BoHo Glam, Bombshell and Classic with a Twist gets 2 polishes and then a beauty/makeup/nail item. It Girl always has 3 polishes. Modern Beauty always get two beauty, makeup, nail care, or skin care items. The Box I like how the add-ons are all in the same box. Quote Card There is always a little card, with a quote for the month. This month, the card says, “Don’t Ask Permission” by Joan Jett Candy Corn Julep always include a little bonus item. This month’s item was candy corn. My boys are going to enjoy this. I am not a fan. Kajal Eye Glider with sharpener I was glad to get a make up item this month. I haven’t tried this yet, but I like eye pencils. I also like the sharpener. Alisa I love this red. It is the reason I chose this box. I love the color. Winona I was not a fan of this color. It is a beige-grey color. I am trading this for another color, with person from an online swap group. Casper This is a white sparkly color that glows in the dark. I think this will be fun for Halloween. The Whole Box FinalContinue Reading
