a brooklyn adventure! + a giveaway with naturebox!

today we have teamed up with our partner, naturebox, to giveaway a 6-month snack subscription to two lucky readers! (details at the end of this post.)

a few days back, we realized we had to go to ikea. oh that dreadful moment when you only need one thing from ikea but it’s not available online! the closest one to our apartment is a ways out in brooklyn and a bit of a trek to get to. and don’t we all love those quick errand trips where you know it’ll be an all day affair because hello to travel time and also, hello children. but we made the trek! and between some good snack-packing, two toddler naps that went down at the same time while we were in the store (a miracle!), plus a little luck in catching all the trains straight away, it was a success! a few photos below from our day…

^^^incredible how teeny tiny that sky scrapper image of manhattan can look when you’re standing far out in a borough.^^^

^^^these are the faces of the two cutest little troopers you ever did see. ^^^

^^^the only way for any long outing to be successful in my book is having lots of good snacks on hand for the littles and myself. this edamamix from naturebox has become one of our family’s favorite summer snacks. also, the dark cocoa nom noms? it’s hard to share those with my family. i want to eat them all by myself within 5 minutes of their arrival. see all the snack options here.^^^

and now for the good stuff! we’ve teamed up with naturebox to give away a 6-month deluxe snack subscription to two lucky readers! to enter to win, please visit naturebox to check out what snacks they have to offer, then come back here and comment below with which snack you’d like to try.
