I've had quite the time with The Balanced Company. I ordered a lot from them back on June 17, including the Father's Day Box, which I thought for sure would ship before the subscription boxes. It did not. Everything ended up being scheduled to ship on July 4 with a promised tracking number. I did... Continue Reading →
Bump to Mom – First box: July 2023
My sister is such a doll and purchased me this subscription when she found out that I'm pregnant. I was very touched by that gesture. I can't find when or where this company started, but most of the products were designed in Canada, so I'm guessing it's a Canadian company. Their market must be mostly... Continue Reading →

Sockbox – July 2023
So we didn't get our bonus socks in June, and they were not sent with the May socks that arrived very, very late. We also didn't get the bonus socks for June in July.

Friday Sock Co – July 2023 (Women’s)
It's summer, and seeing cows on socks reminds me that I need to stock up on hay. Every year it gets harder to find hay. The people who hay around here are generally old men and the younger generation either don't want to or can't afford to do it (or they charge ridiculous amounts... $300... Continue Reading →
Friday Sock Co – July 2023 (Men’s)
I don't know why, but every time I see these socks I think they're sloths. I know they are ducks, but my brain always thinks sloths first. I really like the colour palette of this pair. It's very pleasing to my eyes. I almost wish it was my pair and not Tony's. Friday Sock Co... Continue Reading →
Tanit Dishwasher Tablets Review
Tanit Dishwaser Detergent Tablets I was interested to see that Tanit had branched out from their beauty line to include household products as well. I liked that these tabs come in biodegradable bags, but they're still quite pricey for what they are. I usually buy the Envirowise tablets, which are 80 for $18 compared to... Continue Reading →
