The Best Things in Life Are in the #TLCVoxBox

Influenster is an online sampling platform where you can get totally free boxes and then unlock badges and more rewards by participating in social media activities with the brands involved. You tell all about them via social media and can unlock more badges/points! 

I recently was sent the #TLCVoxBox, which was geared toward mommies!  They send you an email saying you might qualify, you fill out a short survey and they decide if you fulfill the demographics they are looking for.  Neat stuff... and FREE! 

Here's the goodies:

 How cute is this box?

First Look!

Amazing information including prices!

#passthepuffs #Neoready

If you know me, Puffs plus are a must!  It's the only Kleenex I buy... maybe I like to cushion my nose in pillow-y softness.  Maybe. ($.50)

Jackson has been WILD lately and gets some new bruise or cut daily.  He's a little boy!  Thank you, Neo to Go, for understanding the life of a toddler boy!  Both of these went in my diaper bag immediately! ($7.50)

#FuelRewards #GelatoLove

I have an FL Roberts reward card and hubby loves it, but this is the Shell one and you can save 25 cents per gallon when you fill up! WHAAAT?  Definitely using this tomorrow since I'm... um... on "0". 

I LOVE BREYERS GELATO! I already have one of these in my freezer and I occasionally pick at it.  I don't give it to Jackson... it's mommy's treat! They are so creamy and yummy and just HOORAY!  ($5.99)

#Sudlife #AvonAnew

Love the throwback Ivory Soap packaging!  I could've used this at the bachelorette I just came back from, but it'll get used I'm sure.  99.44% pure and no dyes/perfumes means it's gentle enough for Jackson's precious skin too! ($3.99/10 pack)

Avon Anew Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother is a $30 value.  It's a balm that you can apply to your forehead and eye wrinkles and it says it makes the look of your wrinkles immediately!  This will be super amazing if it works for my makeup kit!

Can you believe that this was free?  I was so happy to receive this box and I will totally use all of it!  If you'd like to try Influenster out, all you have to do is send me you email and I can help you get connected!

OXOXO- TPD

Boons for Fun!

Boon...?  Nobody?  Sandra Boynton? No?  Mooooooving on...

So with this heat and great weather we've been spending so much time outside and I've been kind of slacking on introducing Jackson to new textures and educational kind of stuff.  My B.  I made up for it today though.  It was sticky and buggy out, so we did lots of fun stuff! 

A few weeks ago, I picked up some balloons on clearance on Target.  I decided to fill them with a bunch of different textures so that Jackson could squeeeeeze them (remember those old school stress balls?!). 

**Note: do NOT use these with kiddos that are still putting things in their mouth.  Also, be sure not to put anything in these that can be harmful to anyone just in case it breaks!**

I filled these with things that I had lying around the house!  It was super easy to find things and fill them quick!  I also came up with this little gadget to help fill the "bigger stuff". 

I took a bottle and cut it apart.  Then I put the balloon on the outside of the spout. It kept it open and open wide to squeeze that stuff in. 

Pretty snaczzy huh?

 

It was a big hit!  Jackson played for a solid 20 minutes with it, which made me a happy mommy!  When he was done, I put them in a bag and then placed it in my "rainy day" tote!

Have you ever tried the balloon activity?? What fun things do you suggest filling it with?
