Bluum August Lil Artist

I was really excited to see what was in my Bluum box this month.  This was for T and was the theme Lil Artist (18 months).  Bluum curates their boxes by theme.  So every 18 month old will get Lil Artist, but not everyone will get the same things in their Lil Artist boxes.  I haven't totally figured out their method yet, but I have only gotten 1 duplicate, and that was the fig bars this month.

Kiwi Crate News and a Spoiler


From Kiwi Crate's Facebook Page
Announcing…explore! magazine!


Starting this month, Kiwi Crate subscribers will receive our new full-color, 24-page printed magazine.

This month's issue will include everything from flight-themed puzzles and DIY activities to an illustrated flying adventure with Steve the Kiwi. Discover all the details–and download a special paper flyer printable–right here! http://kiwi.cr/1cCWHHX

(Only a few more days to get your Fun With Flight crate…now with explore! magazine! )

If you have been a follower for awhile, you will know how much I love KIWI CRATE.  It is the first subscription box our family received and it is one of the best.  They have the most amazing customer service.  You have full control of your subscription from your account page.  You can pause your subscription, cancel or update your information.  If you have a problem, customer service will take care of it.

Recently my son and I did the water crate and made the sale boat.  There was an issue with the yellow paint, and it squirted all out (I was doing a test on a piece of paper).  I was able to clean up the mess, but I contacted Kiwi Crate, just to let them know.  Kiwi said they would send out new supplies for the boat and I was more than happy.  I received the box today.  We got the sails, paint AND a package of markers and a cute Kiwi Plush.  All I can say is WOW.  Kiwi is worth every bit of the money.  

By the way, did you know Kiwi Crate named their little Kiwi bird?  His name is Steve.  My son named his penguin.  

If you want to sign up for Kiwi Crate, you can click HERE and get $10.00 off your first crate, making it $9.95.  I am really excited to see this new magazine.
