Friday Favorites: Door to Door Organics and More

Door to Door Organics - We received our first box yesterday. We ordered their medium mix veggie and fruits box (for free for blog review). So far we are really happy with their service and will continue to order weekly or biweekly. The medium box is $46. I think it's definitely worth it since everything is all organic. The tangerines were sooooo good. My girls keep saying it's the best orange they tasted. It was so juicy and sweet. We will be posting our thorough review soon. But for now if you want to check them out here's a coupon code for $10 off your first order: LUV2SAVE1415T 



I love Kidorable! They have the best rain gears! You can check out my review HERE and enter the giveaway!


Trader Joe's Organic Hot Cocoa Mix - I was so excited when I saw this in their store. My girls love hot cocoa mix but we stopped buying them because they were not organic. 


Juicy Platters - We usually buy halal from the Halal Guys in NYC. We recently tried the one from Juicy Platter and surprisingly it's pretty good..maybe even just as good from the Halal Guys. 


 DIY Sharpie Ceramic Mug - these turned out so cute! Olivia made one for her teacher to give this Christmas and Emma made one for me.

Kidorable Review and Giveaway


*Product sample received*



Our family started this blog more than 4 years ago. I've worked with a lot of companies since then for product reviews. And I can honestly say that one of my favorite companies that I've worked with is Kidorable. If you are looking for rain gears for kids I highly recommend them. Not only they are cute and adorable they are functional and great quality.

About four years ago, we reviewed their Lucky Cat rain gear (rain coat, umbrella, and boots). My eldest (she was 3 then) loved it. Since then it has been handed down to my second daughter, and now my youngest. The quality is just amazing. The rain coat still looks almost brand new. There are no rips or fading. The boots are also still in perfect condition. The umbrella recently just broke, only because my 3 year old stepped on it while it was open. So for the quality I give them 5 stars!!

Olivia when she was 3 and Sophia

They recently sent me their newest collection Mermaid. I received their rain coat, umbrella, and boots. First thing I noticed is that they made changes to their rain coats. It's now made of PU with nylon lining. The material is softer and feels more comfortable to wear. I really like that they added prints on their linings. 

The Mermaid rain coat has printed sea shells on their lining. It has two pockets, mermaid scales, and sea star buttons. The bottom is a shape of mermaid tail.They really paid attention to the details. And since it is made of soft PU it can be worn as a light jacket, perfect for fall and spring. Their rain coat also comes with a hanger.

Their boots are the cutest boots! It has a little mermaid tail on the back. They are very well made and durable. They are also very easy to clean. My girls are only allowed to jump in muddy puddles when they are wearing their kidorable boots. 



I love their umbrella. They are also very well made. I've purchased other kids umbrella in the past and they never last very long. Our Lady Cat umbrella however lasted almost 4 years. 

I love every details of their Mermaid umbrella, the tail and the seahorse handle. My girls have no problem opening and closing it on their own. 




Kidorable definitely makes a great gift this Christmas. Your kids will love them! They have styles for both girls and boys. They also have knit hats, scarves, gloves, plus towels, backpacks and hangers. 

Connect with them on Facebook and Twitter


Giveaway - Kidorable is giving one of my readers an umbrella of your choice!

Holiday Gift Guide: 100 Fairytale Princesses

*Product Sample Received. This post contains affiliate link*




This month Parragon Books sent me two books to review. One of them is the 100 Fairytale Princesses.  My girls love anything princesses so this book was a huge hit in our home. It includes over 400 stickers and stencils. Your child can use the stickers and stencils to make princess tiara and fairy godmother wand. They can decorate ballrooms and ball gowns, transform pumpin into carriage and frogs into princes. They can also design palaces and thrones and so much more!

The book is divided into 5 tabs (Pretty Princesses, Sparkling Jewels, Party Princesses, Fairytale Fun and Princess and Palaces) My girls have not done all the activities in this book yet because there are just so many things to do in this book. Their favorite is making Rapunzel's bookmark, decorating their own tiaras, creating mini carriage, and making your own Cinderella doll.

Adventure Time: Finn the Human on DVD 11/25



Whose ready for adventure! In Adventure Time: Finn the Human, join Finn and his buddy Jake the dog in this DVD following their adventures in the land of Ooo. As a fan of this Cartoon Network smash hit series, this DVD comes jam-packed with 16 hilarious episodes from fan favorite seasons.  

Created by Pendleton Ward, this Emmy nominated series that plays on Cartoon Network on Mondays at 7:30 pm and replays throughout the week follows the everyday adventures a pair of unlikely heroes , Finn the Human and Jake, his shapeshifting dog friend. Watch as they travel the land of Ooo and encounter strange creatures such as the Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline the vampire Queen.

My daughters and I are fans of this show, they are reminiscent of dungeon and dragons type of adventure show with a sci fi and magical feel. Finn, as the last remaining, non mutated, human lives by an honor code, helping the innocent, and trying to be a force of good, with his friend/ adoptive brother Jake, a talking dog imbued with shapeshifting properties. My daughters love the funny adventures and storyline, and there are lessons that you can derive from the show (such as keeping your word and helping out a friend) despite its whimsical nature. We often use one liners and jokes from the show, such as " Mathematical !" and " redudiculous", my daughters and I sometimes do the Finn and Jake "Trust pound" when in agreement over something. 

Beginning November 25, 2014 for only $24.98, fans will be able to get nearly 3 hours of content and an exclusive Finn backpack (wear it for Halloween or Comic con as him), perfect for this holiday season and a must have for your Adventure Time fan.
