Bash and the Chicken Coop Caper

*I received a product sample to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.

-About the book:Mysterious footprints in the snow. Vanishing mittens, misplaced eggs. A pink, purple, and orange paisley sleeping bag on the move. Something’s definitely amiss in the chicken coop, and wackiness runs amok on Bash Hinglebobb’s blizzard-blasted farm. While Bash is inventing such contraptions as a snowball catapult from inner tubes and underwear, his cousin Beamer Boxby, a city kid at heart, must help newcomer Lauren Rodriguez figure out why God lets horrible things happen to good people. Can Bash’s Farmin’ and Fishin’ Book (the Bible) be believed when it says, “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God”? What about when fire rolls through an animal building. Or when a kid’s lost her dad? It’s time to find out—with a little help from an ice-skating pig.

This book is based on the authors pet birds and one of them was born with feet that are different from other birds. In the story he figures out that he is different. He is worried that his Mom won't love him but quickly finds out that's just not true. She loves him just the way he is.

The Boodle Box June 2014

*Sponsored by the Boodle Box

Who doesn't love to get mail? I know I do and so do my kids. There are so many options for subscription boxes for Mom and Dad but not so many for the kids. That's why I was so excited to find the Boodle Box.

The Boodle Box comes in 2 categories ages 5-10 and 11+. You can choose how long you want to sign up 1 month, 3 month, 6 month or a year - the longer the subscription the better the price. 1 month is $24.99 and it goes down from there.

I was sent the Boodle One box for ages 5-10 (this was sent to me to review - all opinions are my own). This was perfect since my girls are 6 and 9.

The Boodle Box comes with a super fun design.

Birchbox Review - April

*Contains referral link

I'm a little behind on my Birchbox posts so this one is my April box and my May one will be posted soon. I should be getting my June box in the mail soon as well.

Birchbox is $10 a month for 4-6 hand-picked beauty and lifestyle samples. The neat thing is you can review the samples you receive on a monthly basis and earn points in their shop. Each product review gives you 10 points and 100 points is $10. So they can add up pretty fast.

I had signed up with Birchbox a year ago but wasn't impressed so I canceled. I didn't realize they had the point system though and decided to try again when I learned about it.
