Little Thinker Subscription Box Review

Who doesn't like all these subscription box services?  Well, I stumbled on another one that intrigued me.  Since I like educational type things, I wanted to give Little Thinker Box a try.  They gave me the opportunity to try 1 box in exchange for my honest review of the product. 

Baby girl and I are taking a short break from our structured preschool activities while I try to gather and prepare the next set.  This came at just the right time to keep us motivated and active, without the hassle of my needing to plan ahead.

Spring Cleaning with ARM & HAMMER #BakingSodaTips

Who doesn't know Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is a great odor neutralizer?  I used it in our diaper pail when baby girl was much smaller (the smell from those baby diapers get down right horrifying at times) and on occasion, have had to add a splash to our kitchen trash can to squelch the stench so that we didn't have to take it out to the outside garbage can before it was full.

Well, I'm happy to report that I was supplied a box of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda and a special plastic container for baking soda dispensing from Smiley360 to help me deliver some other ideas on how to use baking soda for your Spring Cleaning needs.
