July Degustabox | Subscription Box Review

by StaceyUpdated on August 16, 2017August 17, 2017

I’ve been receiving the Degustabox for over a year now and every month I look forward to the surprise on delivery day. The July Degustabox was themed as the summer box, and pretty much every product inside did fit the brief! There were a couple of products I really wasn’t keen on this month, but no complaints about the rest. Enjoy 10 to 15 surprise products, many are completely new to the market! Receive your Degustabox every month filled with goodies. All for much less than you would pay in the shops! So what was inside the July Degustabox?

Best Foods to Give Your Teething Toddler

Children begin getting their first teeth around 7 to 11 months of age. It is a painful process where your little one might cry uncontrollably at night and may even stop eating.

We’ve had a few days out, dog walks, but one thing we haven’t been doing is playing outside a lot. What is the weather all about this summer?! It’s bloody miserable, I think we’ve had rain on more days than not. We haven’t even had the paddling pool out yet, or the bouncy castle. Hopefully, sometime before we go on holiday, we’ll be able to.

by StaceyUpdated on November 13, 2019August 8, 2017

Summer; the time for lots of family trips with the kids, and making sure your bag is well stocked to keep everyone going throughout the day. Of course, the boys always want to take their own bags for their drinks and any toys that may just fancy a trip too… Also, the time for getting ready to go back to school. Uniforms, shoes, and of course a backpack for their bits & bobs. Come September, Noah will be going to preschool for fifteen hours; including a full day on a Friday so he’ll need to be well stocked then with …

My festival bucket list

by StaceyUpdated on November 12, 2020August 7, 2017

When it comes to the summer season, there are so many festivals happening. Music festivals, food festivals, art festivals; or festivals that have everything going on! Often these are really family or children focused and can last for a whole weekend. As a family we’ve only actually attended one festival, which was a local food festival at a country park. A food festival is my idea of heaven, especially when there are dozens of samples waiting to be tasted! As you may have seen, I love discovering new brands and trying new foods. I could manage to spend a whole load …
