Ecocentric Mom Review


I totally dig the subscription box thing!!! I love that you can get a box tailored to your wishes mailed monthly right to your front door. Lets be real shopping with kids blows! shopping with 2 boys under the age of four is basically torture. I find myself avoiding it at all costs.
 So far we have only gone clothes and crafts in a subscription box form, enter ecocentric mom! A box more geared to moms!!


We received our November Moms discovery box and I was impressed!

                               




"The mom box is great for any mother, from first time moms to moms with teenagers and beyond.  Each month your box will contain healthy, non-toxic, eco-friendly, safe products, including skin care; make-up; healthy home; organic non GMO foods, snacks and treats; fair trade; nutritional and wellness products; spa/pampering items...the list is endless.  Rest assured that each month you will be introduced to a wide range of fun and healthy products to get you started on your eco mom journey.

Infinitywish bracelet review


I found this amazing little shop on etsy.com called Infinity wish and wanted to share!!! They make affordable, unique, interesting bracelets. I received a giraffe one (for my little Nug)

They have so many different options and prices start at $5.99!!!

Just wanted to share, I thought this would make a great stocking stuffer. They are based out of China and shipping can be lengthy so if you want to receive by Christmas you might want to bump up your shipping.


A few of the options I thought were neat.

You can check them out on etsy here

Mama Runs With Scissors Review and Giveaway





 So thanks to Mama Runs With Scissors many legging misconceptions have been cleared up for me! 

1. Misconception- Leggins are only for girls

So not true! In fact she has so many cute styles, I'm sure you will find a set that fits your little man's personality perfectly!!!



She even makes matching sets!!!



2. Misconception- Leggins are only worn on legs

So not true again! I actually like them on arms better! living in Florida it can be cool only for a few hours a day so having them on their arms it is super easy to go from long sleeve shirt to short in seconds, while they are running by at super sonic boy speed.

Our set! Airplanes for Nu (hes loves planes and has a plane themed room)
& of course giraffes for Nug! He loves him some "raffies"



3. Misconception- Leggins aren't "normal" day wear, they are only for fancy photo shoots.

Way way way not true! The day we wore ours we pretend mowed the lawn, played on the swings and took a walk. Its November in Florida meaning shorts and sandals, but there is some wind and a small chill so the insta-long sleeves were PERFECT!!


hes a serious swinger


We think the KOOL KID LEGS are awesome, you will too!

Mama runs with scissors has so many options on her etsy.com shop, 13 pages to be exact!!! You can see all her great products here @http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamarunswithscissors.
