Link Up: Iphone Dump!

Ok I am linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Friday iPhone Dump! Cause lets face it, I want to brag about my family!

1. Baby A has decided he was going to start sitting up. Just one day it has clicked for him and sitting up is his new favorite pass time. We honestly never did a lot of sitting exercises or forcing him to sit with the boppy around his stomach. So this new trick was definitely shocking!

2. Again, Baby A has shocked his parents! He has decided rolling to his stomach is freaking awesome! He does it constantly and rolls around the floor. Its strange to look back at him and see him in a different part of the living room then where I put him. I definitely can't wait till he crawls and is in everything. My little adventurous child!

3. Yes I am definitely obsessed over my kid this week hes just doing new things left and right! He has decided that his toes make excellent teething objects. I honestly can not keep his feet out of his hands or his mouth. He even does it while sitting in our laps! 


Well I guess all I have is 3 photos for the week, oh man! My life is truly boring I guess.. Dang, I should spice it up a little. =]

WittleBee - April Review

My April Wittlebee box arrived a few days ago, but I didn't have time to get this posted. I was really worried I was going to be super disappointed with our wittlebee box again. I was ready to write a angry email and completely turn off our subscription after last month. Last month I only liked a few pieces out of the entire box, and informed them of this. They basically told me tough cookies and to deal with it. Horrible customer service in my opinion.

So here is the first thing I see when I opened the box, not half as much care was taken when packaging this one, compared to my last box that had the tissue perfectly and neatly folded to where you couldn't see any clothing or a packaging slip. Strike one right?

This shaken goodness I blame to my mail man, not wittlebee. But here is what it looked like when I opened it. I still think they could have tried a little harder with the tissue paper. But that's just me.

Kate Quinn Organics Hoodie and Pants - (~$35.00 stole the price from Ms. Jennifer over at ramblingsofasuburbanmom.com) I couldn't find the exact item online, but this was Wittlebee's pick this month. I flipping love this adorable outfit!! I could have not been more excited to see it. When I saw this, honestly I had a feeling this box was not going to disappoint me. Now if only we could go somewhere when the weather was perfect for this outfit!!!

Wittlebee UE: SS "Special Forces" Tee: $(~8.00) I have no clue how to price this, so I am throwing it at the $8 mark since thats all I would honestly pay for it. I am not sure if I love this or just like it, but its super cute! We are not a military family, but I love that its something different other then the cutesy animal clothing that walmart and target offer. This was a wittlebee pick, and I am honestly pleased with it.

Little Rebels SS Aqua Monkey Tee - (~$8.00) I priced this around $8 because they have been featured on Zulilly for around this price per item. This was my pick, but I had to venture into the 12month section to find it. I am kind of regretting my choice to get it, since my kid isn't even 6 months yet.. Oops! But its super cute, and just our style.

Threadless Swinging Tiger and Monkeys - (~$10.99) So hubby was very shocked to see another Threadless shirt in our box, apparently he has heard of the company and liked the designs they had to offer. I still think the material feels very low quality and overly stretchy but I think its cute. Luckily baby A can pull off lime green very well.

Wittlebee Green Stars Onesie - (~10.00) I couldn't find the pricing for this, but $10 is what I would pay for it. I love this onesie, I am a huge star fan. I know baby A will be absolutely adorable in this! This shirt was my pick, and honestly again I am in complete love. The fabric feels very sturdy and even the buttons seem sturdy.

I total this box at $71.99 which is a huge difference then the $35 we paid for it. I am 100% more satisfied this time around, then last time. I do believe we will continue this box, to see what we get. I truly hope we do not get another disappointing box, and continue to get great boxes! I do hope next month that they have more options for the 6month sizes.

BarkBox - March Review

First off, let me apologize for not blogging for a week or so. A teething baby, stomach flu, and growth spurt? Oh man, someone save me! However, this post is for the amazing BarkBox! I love this box, I wish we could afford it monthly!

So when you open this box you think "Oh how cute!" I opened it and had to slam it shut before my dog would attack it. I personally love the overall presentation of the box. The green filler paper stuff is a great touch!
Acadia Antlers Moose Taster($6.00): So I was super excited to see this in our box. I have a very aggressive chewer for a dog. This dog will chew on everything, and anything. Including her own nails down to the quick! So this antler was very impressive for us. The statement from the company states "All natural dog chews, that come in a variety of sizes, shapes and regional flavors." The antlers are naturally shed from Maine Moose. They are not harmed, or hunted down for the antlers. Hello, we are sold! Oh and she still hasn't destroyed it, not even 1/4th of the way!
Zuke's Z-Bone($1.99): I am not sure how I feel towards this. After our dog Zoey tends to have a stomach ache after eating many things, I still have not let her have this one. It says it is Apple Crisp flavor, all natural, cleans her teeth and helps her breathe. Sounds like a decent product, I probably will give her this in the morning.
Wholelife Organics Sweet Potato Treats($11.90): Organic sweet potato crisps. My dog absolutely loves these! They are flash frozen and freeze dried. They smell very sweet, and honestly, Zoey goes crazy for them. I feel so happy that there are organic and great treats on the market for our pets now. Seriously, thank you to the treat maker gods!

Yumzies All Natural Grain Free Treats($6.99): These treats are super moist and interesting when you smell them. I have been very cautious when it comes to chicken treats for my beloved Zoey, but I do believe these will give us a safe chicken treat we can give her.
W.A.G Bath Wipes(~$1.00): I couldn't find a price for just one wipe, so I am pricing this as a dollar. Seems like the amount you would pay for a small sample at most pet boutiques. We love wipes for our dog in between bath times. She cries and pouts so much her eyes are always caked with tear goo. These worked great on her face, and got rid of the nasty tear smell. Probably something i'd love to have around the house!

SafeMade Gimme Gummy($8.06): Sadly this is only for "light to moderate" chewers. My dog is a chew extremist. The overall concept of the toy is great! Its food grade silicone and can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is freezer safe, or even bake treats inside it up to 450 degrees. It is also tested to children's toy standards so its safe for your entire house hold. How ever, Zoey is a terrorist. Within 15 minutes of me photographing the box, this is the result.
 Yeah she destroyed the treat area. I had to take the toy away from her, she would have ate the entire thing in a day. Digesting every single piece as well.

Zoey and I price this box at $20.89 from the pricing we have found online. I did not pay for this box, it was sent to me to review. The box costs $19.99 if you purchase 3 month subscription, and for one month its $29.99 with free shipping. If we find the funds in the future this will definitely be added to our list of must gets!

Zoey's face in the box, she inspects everything!
