THE BLIND TOUR

As they start the tour, they will still be able to choose receiving the Paris box instead of their first Box of the Month, but the previous Tokyo, Rome, Istanbul & New Delhi boxes will not be available any more.

Here is the story of how Travel the Worldcame to be.

(Directly from website) 

At Try The World, we believe that life is too short to not try everything that's out in the world. So we created the first subscription program to discover the best gourmet food and cultural finds from across the globe, delivered to your door!

We are launching with Paris, and we plan to take you on an incredible journey across continents delivering some of the best products from the most exciting places on the planet. 

This month's Paris Box will give you a taste of Paris through some of the finest gourmet products sourced from across France. This limited edition box includes all natural nougat, jams, salted butter caramels and other delicacies made by family-owned companies. You will also discover a collection of cultural gems to further enhance your experience of the French lifestyle.

If you subscribe, you willreceive one box from a different city every two months. The first one is Paris,the second one is Tokyo, and the third one is Rio etc. That's all we tell youfor now... 

Try The World was founded by Kat and David who met while studying at Columbia University, and grew out of their passion for travel and for discovering new cultures. They founded this company to create the experience of learning about new cultures through trying amazing foreign products, without needing a passport! 

Kat fell in love with France when she lived in Paris while studying abroad for 9 months. Since then she has traveled to 4 continents and more than 25 countries. Every time she traveled, Kat came home with a box of souvenirs, and delighted her friends and family with her unusual yet delectable finds. 

David is French, he grew up in Paris and came to New York in 2012. He has been traveling across all 16 continents (they have been lying to you, there are more than 7 continents). Through his experience of European, North American and Asian cultures, David realized how important local products and local cultures are in our understanding of different lifestyles. Enjoying another culture's products is getting closer to the culture itself.. As Epictetus said, "bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast". 

All our products are USFDA approved, but are difficult to find in the United States.. They are hand picked by Try The World's team of travelers as well as by local experts, with a promise that they pass our highly selective criteria, eyes, ears and tastes! 

XOXO

Kat & David

So what are you waiting for??? This is an amazing opportunity to live outside of the American Box, and try something new right from your own home! I know I am defiantly going to look into getting one ASAP, you should to! Live a little and enjoy the world....the only way to do that is by

The Things Our Kids Say Pt.1

When I first started Blogging, I found that as a mom there are things that change in our lives which we don't expect. We say and do things we never thought, or swore we wouldn't say or do, but alas we do them anyways. Then we step back, come back into our bodies and wonder "Did I just say that?" Fortunately, I have sought our mothers to tell me those hilarious moments of WTF did I just say, and Why do I have to repeat this phrase over and over? 

I love to read about what other Moms go through on a day to day basis because it makes me feel better about my own parenting craziness. Being a mom is not easy, there are moments of hair falling out stress, and my cheeks hurt from smiling happiness. 

Parenthood is in one word.... Bipolar. 

If your like me, you have what I call SPKs, which stands for Sour Patch Kids. One minute they are tornado's of imagination induced destruction, and the next they are cuddling on your lap wanting a thousand kisses and praise. 

If you want to check out my Blog Post on "Did I really just say That?" you can read all of the Hilarious things moms shared with me that they couldn't believe they have said to their kids... HERE.

So now onto the funny things our kids say....

I asked mothers on the internet super highway to tell me some mind gear grinding, and ridiculous things their kids have said to them. Some of these are just plain knee slapping funny. 

So here they are.... Enjoy (and please share) 

"I want a cookie" while biting a wooden coaster.

Samantha C. (1 Boy) Blogger at Southern Saving Sisters 

"Last night daddy and I had balls for dinner. They were pretty good with barbecue sauce"
Meatballs....she had meatballs...

Jen T. (1 Boy & 1 Girl)

Screaming "open the damn door!!"

Tiffany S. (3 Girls & 1 Boy) 

When our pet fish died we held the "funeral" around the toilet, and flushed him down. All of a sudden my oldest, who was 7 at the time, looked at me and said, "MOM! Is the fish going to end up in the pool???" He thought that when we flushed, it went into our pool. Try to keep a straight face, and explain that to your child, who is crying hysterically. 

Tara L. (1 Girl & 2 Boys) Blogger at Semmes Savers

My daughter when she was 5: “Mom, can we get a cat?” Me: “Your dad is allergic to cats, so no.” My daughter: “When dad dies can we get a cat?” Me: “Sure.”

Terri G. (1 Girl) Blogger at Life with the Grothes

"Mommy, you stink, go poopy!!!"

Kristen E. (3 Girls)

"Eww ma you stinky feet! Take a shower!" While holding his nose.

Ruby C. (1Boy & 1 Girl)

"Mommy, Daddy tooted on my head. I do not want to be a tooty head! Wash it off!"

Tessa S. (2 Girls) Blogger at Mama Smith's Reviews  

(While eating peas) "Mommy, I'm eating penis!"

Rachael B. (3 Boys) Blogger at Three Boys and a Mom

"Mama, I will fart out an egg, then you make breakfast!"... from the mouth of my 3 year old daughter

Shandi L. (1 Girl & 1 Boy) Blogger at Thrifty Mom: Saving for Family

"Mommy you need to wipe my hand and my butt because I 'ate s**t' too"
WHA?!?!?!?!....(overheard me from when i fell)

Holly P. (2 Girls) Blogger at Our Poole House

(While going potty) "Mommy, I went Pee and Poop!" ... I responded "Very Good!".... She said "Yup, Just doing my job." 

Amanda Y. (1 Girl & 1 Boy) Blogger for StellarManicMommy2

PlasmaCar Giveaway!

Giveaway Hosted by: Tales From A Southern Mom and Mommy by Nurture Co-hosted by: NYSavingsSpecial and Stellar Manic Mommy Sponsored by: Plasmacar   PlaSmart Inc., who makes the PlasmaCar is a Canadian-based distributor of smart, simple, educational toys for children. The story began in December, 2002 when Timothy Kimber, then owner of an ecommerce business, happened upon some children test-driving a yet unknown ride-on vehicle. Fascinated that this car did not require batteries or pedals and was propelled by simply turning the steering wheel, Kimber located the seller of this unique toy. Within a month, PlaSmart was born with North American distribution and marketing rights secured for PlasmaCar. Now we can all get them!  

Any child would love to find this under the tree this year, this gift is going to be a hit! I feel that if you want to make sure you have a happy child on Christmas morning and beyond, the PlasmaCar is a must buy gift. You can win your own PlasmaCar in our giveaway that they are sponsoring here!

Strider Bike Review

Aleksus has SPD, so when I heard about these types of bikes in my mom groups I really wanted to try one out for her. Thankfully Strider Bikes was able to give us one for review! Let me tell you, this bike is awesome! See Leks tends to have a very short fuse when she cant understand something, it frustrates her into a tantrum. So while I have only heard good things on these bikes, you can be sure I was still nervous to she how she would handle it. To my surprise she did awesome! Sure we had a couple moments of frustration, but she didn't want to give up which is a new thing for her. She rode the bike for a good hour up and down the drive way till we decided to try it down the side walk. Her excitement for rolling around was enough to make my cheeks hurt from smiling so much!  

Honestly, Its never too early to get your kids outside to learn some Balance. The 12" Strider Sport is the perfect Toddler Bike that will help to teach your kiddo how to balance on two wheels. As they practice they build the confidence they need for when they ride a petal bike WITHOUT training wheels!!

The 12" Sport is good for...

- Ages 18 months to 5 years old

-Super Light weight! 3.0/6.7 lbs

-Max Rider weight is 27kg/60lbs

- It comes in SEVEN fun colors

We seriously love this bike, it helped Aleksus start to learn balance. The best part is they don't only have bikes for little kids, they also have them sized for older kids! So if you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the kid in your life, wither they have a disability or not then you need to check out... Strider Bikes!

As a mom who has a preschooler with SPD, I know there are going to be challenges in certain areas of developmental growth. However, thanks to companies like Strider we have help in dealing with those who have children with learning disabilities. I can't be happier with their product line, and their cause for making them. I thank you Ryan McFarland, for not giving up on your child and inventing something to help children all around the world meet developmental milestone they might have not done so before.

eeBoo Color Pencils Review

Eeboo Color Pencils are an adorable way to encourage your child to draw! I was able to review this product, and when I received the package I was beyond excited because my little girl love to draw. She is the stage where her imagination is at an all time high, I mean being 3 years old comes with its perks. 

EeBoo’s dazzling new Striped Biggies 24 Color Pencils include 24 different color pencils and a pencil sharpener. Every box is adorned with illustrations of tiny elves carrying the Pencils. Each short & jumbo pencil is embellished with foil, adding sparkle and shine to the rainbow of available colors! Illustration on the packaging by acclaimed children’s book illustrator, Kevin Hawkes!

Eeboo color pencils are absolutely ADORABLE! They have bright colors and are decorated so lovely. Aleksus was so excited to play with theses, and because they are made smaller and rounder, they fit her hands perfectly! She loved them, and it made her drawing task easier. 

She automatically grabbed some paper and started drawing so many pictures, all of which ended up on the fridge door. She loved drawing with Eeboo's pencil's! 

They come in sets of 12 & 24!

Here is a picture of their 12 Color Pencil Set

Whats even greater aside from them offering 2 different pencil sets, is they also have their own Notepad for your little one to Draw on! 

But these items are not the only thing that Eeboo offers to generate a life of imagination play in your child! You NEED to check out their website and see all of the awesome items they have! I see some great items that would be perfect for this up coming Holiday!
