Noah is home, safe and sound. My sister, Jeanie, and brother-in-law, Shawn, drove him here yesterday. They are staying for a few days to visit, and they brought their two basset hounds with them. Jeanie and Shawn don't have kids, and they treat their bassets like children. Jeanie was very worried about leaving Remy (short for Remington) tonight, when they go to Shawn's high school reunion.
Since she certainly did her share of spoiling Noah rotten while he was staying at her house, I decided to take Remy for a walk this evening. I am definitely not a "dog person", but it was the least I could do. We walked about 3 miles, and on the way back to the car, we stopped at a frozen custard stand so I could buy him an ice cream cone...
I wasn't really in the mood for ice cream. I KNOW--what the heck, right?! I must be coming down with something.
Anyway, on to the giveaway...
A company called NatureBox contacted me recently and asked if I would like to try their July box. I checked out their website, and was intrigued. When I was a kid, I used to LOVE buying grab bags from the dollar store--the whole mystery of not knowing what you were buying always sucked me in ;)
Which is one of the reasons I think this company is pretty fun--you pay a monthly subscription, and they send you a box filled with 4-6 different bags of snacks. Each month has different products, so you never know what you're going to get. A lot of the snacks look like varieties of nuts and dried fruits, which you know I LOVE. All of their products contain:
When I got the box, there were 5 different bags of snacks. I won't go into a lot of detail about the snacks themselves, because you would be getting different ones than I got. But they were really good! I pretty much inhaled the trail mix, and Eli claimed the BBQ sunflower seeds as his. Jerry and I both agreed the tomato almonds were our favorite (which is strange, because neither of us like tomatoes). Between me, Jerry, and Eli, all 5 bags were nearly polished off within two days.
NatureBox has very generously offered to give a box away to one lucky Runs for Cookies reader! (I'm sorry international friends, but you must live in the U.S. for this one). FYI, the box you get will not be the same as the box I got--it will be a future month's box. Also, they cannot customize the box for dietary needs (i.e. gluten free, nut allergies, etc) at this time--although it's a possibility for the future.
To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment here telling me what you look for when choosing a snack.I will select a winner Monday (7/23) at 8:00 a.m. EST. CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED.
NatureBox is also offering 25% off your first month of subscription if you use the promo code ZESTY (the 25% discount is only applicable to the month-to-month subscription. 6 month subscriptions receive 1 month free and 12 month subscriptions receive 3 months free).
(In full disclosure, I was given a NatureBox for free to review, but I was not paid for the post and all opinions are truthful).
