It’s a fact. I can’t resist mystery packs that arrive in the mail.
I spied these gorgeous Care Packs around and about on various social media over the past few weeks so when Little & Loved posted a coupon code on their FB page I had to jump on the bandwagon and get amongst the goodness.
Care Pack is a monthly subscription service, delivering a box of curated product to your door for a flat rate including shipping. Choose between the Care Pack, The Little Ones Pack or The Mum to Be Pack, starting from $30 per month {subscriptions can be cancelled at any time}.
The Little Ones’s Pack was tailored to Nixie’s age and gender and I was stoked to see a pair of Lamington Merino Socks (RRP$15.95) included, I have been wanting a pair of these for the Little General for ages! The Rainbow Ribbon book is a wonderfully sweet board book and the Kiwigarden Yoghurt Drops are a hit with both my 1 year old and 9 year old – will be buying these again for sure.
So looking forward to trying out the other products in the days to come – how cute is that little wooden Hape boat?

When I was Christmas shopping for E the other day, I only bought myself ONE present and it was this little gem from Natures Window;
How cute is that! $6.95 friends! It’s one piece and so teeny, made from good quality nylon, it has a drawstring closure and clip so you can snap it onto your purse where you can find it in a hurry – like when you need to whip it out at the check-out and proclaim “NO BAGS PLEASE, I’ve got it covered”. You will be the coolest girl for miles, or at least in The Warehouse which is where I usually find myself bag-less and alone and struggling with the moral dilemma of bag-or-no-bag.
Sorry about the hair, it’s been raining awhile and even the GHD’s are backing away terrified.
This is an awesome example of a major corporation putting things right; Cadbury you have redeemed yourself in 5 ways I never thought possible. You listened to me when I told you I wasn’t down with you killing Orangutans (OK indirectly…) to make me fat …
Fact: I have been in bed since 8.30pm
Fact: I am eating hummus, with nothing, just my finger ::::::GASP::::::
Fact: I have just finished reading the New Zealand Healthy Food Guide November Edition
Fact: I purchased The Jack Family’s First Freezer today
Cumulative total of facts = I have definately hit the ground running into my thirties and it appears there is no return.
This is the guy that’s got my heart all a flutter. I knew I had to do something when I came home from grocery shopping and realised there was no way on gods green earth that I was getting 2 loaves of bread, english muffins, pita bread, pastry, 2 packs of chicken and a size 16 chicken into my shoe-box sized freezer which was already bursting at the gills. Enter Trade Me. I found my freezer, it appears to be an incredible bargain, is less than a year old and lives in Remuera. Hell, if you are going to buy second hand whiteware you might as well buy from the best right? My parents freezer was purchased before I was born. That’s right people, if you follow along and can do The Math, that means the freezer is at least THIRTY YEARS OLD. And still freezing shit. So, I look forward to sharing many fond family memories with my new freezer, fingers crossed he will be around to dish out Flavr Ice to my grandkids.
Another useful and boring thing I have bought lately is;
My Zyliss Can Opener. After the third crapola can opener in a year refused to open my refried beans last month, I finally did it. I spent $30+ on a can opener. This guy was worth every penny, 5 stars.
So, the moral of the story is; avoid whiteware for as long as you can, but if the day comes when you need that bit of extra space to store your reduced meat bargains and your butter stockpile, embrace it, run with it and relish the fact that next time you see two size 24 chickens on sale for $12 YOU ARE FREE TO BUY THEM, no longer constrained by the small freezer, YOU CAN BUY IN BULK. Finally.
Best thing this week – watching Twilight in the hot tub with Dave on Tuesday night, I can NEVER sit through a movie, but the spa left me pretty much comatose by the end of the movie so I couldn’t move too quickly even I …
