Our first Bark Box

We got our first Bark Box  in the mail yesterday and we were super excited to let the dogs open it. If you want to know how Bark Box works you can go back to my blog post here and read all about it. 

On to the goodness. For the money we think this box was worth it. Each box comes with a card that tells you not only about the products but how much they cost. The value is at least double what we paid for the box subscription. Also on top of that, we went out to places like Petsmart, TJ MAXX and local pet stores to find items or items similar to price compare and I was shocked at just how much you'd pay more for these types of items in store. I'd much rather get a Bark Box and have a fun little surprise for my pups each month.

So like I said each box comes with an information card like this:

Front and back of the card

After we pulled out the cards we just kind of let the dogs explore and sniff around. 

They started to think this box might be for them when I made them sit with it. These two know how to pose when I pull out my phone or camera.

.....

Pudge was first to check it out. He must have smelt something good.

...... 

Sammy made his way over to sniff. 

...

And they are in.

.....

Sammy pretty much shoved Pudge out of the way.

....

But Pudge wasn't having any of that. 

....

Here's our haul.

Both dogs REALLY love the 2 bags of treats and we'll have to see who ends up getting that bone. Pudge is enjoying the toy, yes that would be a Baboon butt. It has a squeaker and it crackles. Now if you know Pudge, you know that he love to rip plush toys to shreds.  This is day 2 of him playing with this thing constantly and there isn't a hole insight. 

Over all my hubby and I are really enjoying this box for our dogs and think it's well worth the money. If you'd like to check this box click the link here and give it a shot. You can cancel at anytime. 

Now everytime we get a package delivered to the door Sam and Pudge this it's for them! 

Bark Box love! 

Sammy snuggled with the box for a while after all the fun and treats were put away.

I'm back and we've moved.

I am back! It's been a while since I've posted. The life of a teacher is a busy one for sure and usually doesn't leave time to share with you. It's Summer Time now and I am back and ready to share, share, share! So in this post I'm going to share with you that, WE MOVED. We are no longer in Austin, Texas, but back in California on the Central Coast. It was a long and not so fun move... I'll fill you in later on this week.

We rented a Rig to cart all of our belongings to California for us. So as of now, I have some clothes, and we're sleeping on an air mattress. Our Rig is suppose to drop off our stuff sometime today, so we're in need of some helpers to move things up and down the stairs. The hubs is in charge of that so I'm leaving it to him.

Before moving back to California, I had been really getting into subscription boxes. I had 2 beauty boxes for a while and got rid of one I didn't care for. I now have an Ipsy beauty subscription and I really enjoy the monthly bag that comes in the mail filled with fun new products to try. If you want to check it out click here. This is a link straight to the website.


If you're new to my blog, or you can't remember because I haven't posted in so long, I have two dogs. Sammy (Golden and Corgi Rescue dog) and Pudge (Yellow Lab).

The boys.

So I thought since I'm having so much fun with my beauty subscription box, I thought I'd do a little research and find one for the boys to try out. After looking at several I settled on Bark Box. We just signed up for 1 box that Sammy and Pudge will share. The box comes once a month with full sized products (around 5 products) that are geared to the specific size of your dog(s). The boxes can come with toys, treats, gadgets, etc. I'm excited for the boys to get their first box. If you want to get a box for your pup(s), you can use my referral link for 10% off your first box, and help me earn a free box. I will do a review as soon as we get our first box in July. 

After ordering the Bark Box the next subscription box I wanted to try was Nature Box. My hubby and I living in a new place and with a new places comes new starts and we want to try and snack healthier. I'm not a HUGE snacker, but the hubs is. When we do decide to snack, it's usually a bag of something we can reach our hands in and grab a handful of. So why not reach in and grab a handful of something healthy....... right? Well Nature box gives you that option. They send you a box each month of healthy snacks. You can get a box of snacks they choose or you can look at the pantry online (if you create an account, not buying anything just creating an account you have access) to view all the snacks they offer. From there you can choose your full sized 1-5 of your snack bags you'll get sent to you or you can pick a few and let them pick a few for you or do what I did for my first box and let them pick them all for me. After you try snacks, if there are some you REALLY love and want every month you can add them and you'll receive a bag of that snack each month.

Not only do they give you 5 full sized bags of snacks, they also have options to only get snacks that meet your dietary needs as well which is awesome ( gluten conscious, 15g carbs or less, no sugar added,vegan,soy free,milk free,non gmo,nut free). Depending on what option you choose (buying monthly, every 3 months, etc.) will depending on how much it will cost. Obviously, the more months you buy the cheaper it is. I am doing 1 month at a time because I want to see if this is something I'd like to continue. I'll keep you posted, but if you want to check it out here's the link.

I'll have a Nature Box review after our fist box comes in July!
