In a crazy (but good) surprise, my bluum box arrived today. It arrived before my Citrus Lane box, which has never happened in the past. Hopefully this means bluum’s growing pains are behind them and we will be getting our boxes in a timely manner going forward!

The box was the size as last month, but was much lighter. I think this is the first month that bluum has shipped everyone (baby and toddler) the full sized boxes so I bet a lot of people were pleasantly surprised to see the big box in their mailbox.

The first look had me excited because it looked like there was a lot of stuff we didn’t have and also a few snacks that we love!

Our bluum theme this month was “Balancing Act”. I mentioned it last month, but I aged WB up, so he is a getting a 15 month-old box instead of an 11 month-old box. bluum doesn’t include product information on their information cards anymore, but they do send you an e-mail with all the details you’d ever want the day you get the box.

Here’s what our box included:
~edushape Link A Shape ($9.99): These little Link A Shapes are perfect for WB and also for L!  WB still just wants to chew on everything, but these area nice thick foam that he will NOT be able to gnaw a hunk off you know?  L has been playing with these since they arrived and thinks they are great!  I did wonder about sketchy packaging, but when I looked on the edushape website, I realized that the box they normally come in probably wouldn’t have fit in the bluum box, so I get it now.

~BabyGanics Cover-Up Kisses Lip Balm & Sunscreen ($3.99): I love this.  I am totally 100% guilty of wearing sunscreen everywhere but my lips.  Umm, yeah, not good!  I am throwing this in my suitcase (along with last month’s dish soap) for my next vacation!

~TheraPearl Pals – Ribbit($6.68): I don’t know what genius came up with character / animal / shape pals to help fix boo boos, but they are likely very rich.  There is something about turtle (or whatever) shaped cold pack that fixes everything.  And faster than just a plain old bag of ice.

~Happy Baby happy munchies rice cakes($3.59): I totally thought we had tried every baby snack on the market, but clearly I was wrong.  I have never seen these before and can’t wait to see what WB thinks!

~Happy Baby happy creamies veggie & fruit snacks($4.21): We’ve tried this before and WB likes them a lot.  I mean, not as much as his cheese puffs, but as long as he has these first, he’s good!  And honestly, these things are good!  L even likes them!

~Happy Baby Happy Tot Plus($2.22): As luck would have it, this is WB’s all time favorite pouch food.  I think it sounds gross, but I’ve also never tried it. And probably never will.  Beets + strawberries don’t sound like a good combo to me, but WB sure loves it!

~BABYBUG Magazine ($3.77): This is for younger kids, but that didn’t stop L from grabbing it and “reading” it as soon as we opened it.  The train on the front was too much to resist!  And while it’s a “magazine”, the pages are thick and can’t be easily torn.

All totaled I came up with a value of $34.46 for the March bluum Balancing Act box. While it’s not as “valuable” as the January and February boxes I received, it is well over the $24.95/month price tag of this box. Plus every single item is usable, which is always nice!
