This is my view when I wake up every morning. My ‘bubble’ water bottle (twee heart with a secret snarky message, ha!), prenatal vitamins (because I’ll forget if they aren’t right there), a constantly changing stack of things to read, an alarm clock, and a snack.
I’ve been keeping a snack by my bedside because while most of the queasiness of early pregnancy has passed by now, I feel better if I keep a little something in my stomach. For a while it was the Dark Cocoa Almonds from NatureBox, but lately I’ve been preferring their Blueberry Almond Bites. Of course the kids don’t understand why I get to break the ‘no food upstairs’ rule; they want to keep their favorites in their rooms, too.
And we do all have our favorites! NatureBox is a subscription service with free shipping that delivers healthy snacks monthly. We switch up our choices sometimes, but Eleanor also likes the Blueberry Almond Bites, Brandon is partial to the Santa Fe Corn Sticks, and August is happy to have some Cherry Berry Bonanza.
Giveaway
Everything from NatureBox is made from wholesome ingredients (no HFCS, partially hydrogenated oils, or trans fats, and no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors), and you can change what you receive each month to stick with your favorites or try new goodies. You can also choose the right-sized package for you (Deluxe, Happy, and Smart Snacker, with 5, 10, and 20 bags, respectively), and each bag has 3-5 servings in it. NatureBox is offering a 50% off discount to new customers for their first box (making the Deluxe Snacker package only $9.95) if you use the code LOVELY.
NatureBox is giving 2 winners each a free 6-month Deluxe Snacker subscription! The giveaway is open to US readers with a US shipping address only, and to enter, you can browse NatureBox’s snacks and leave a comment below by midnight CDT, June 4 with the variety you’d most like to try. Good luck!

May 28, 2014 at 3:01 pmMy husband has a nut allergy, so that limits my choices quite a bit since we try to keep the house nut-free. But the teriyaki twists, sesame stix, and ESPECIALLY the seaweed rice pops look so good!!!

Jackie
May 28, 2014 at 10:49 pmI’m intrigued by a lot, but would ultimately go for the baked sweet potato fries. One thing I don’t like, is the website doesn’t allow you to narrow things by gluten free. Gluten conscious and wheat free just aren’t the same – I still have to read the ingredient list!
Milli
May 28, 2014 at 10:57 pmBlueberry Almond bites look tasty.
Erin R.
May 28, 2014 at 11:11 pmSaying that I want to try almost everything seems to broad, so I suppose I will have to choose a few (they all sound amazing).

May 29, 2014 at 6:24 amugggh. I am a relatively new reader of your blog and have not noticed this post style marketing before from you, maybe you did it more in the past? Hope not cause it sucks. Cannot wait to see more of your lovely house but will not read this junk. People who make money from blogging are pretty lucky but must walk the fine line when choosing how to make money from advertisements. IMO, the middle of the blog ads that you already have are pushing it, this is too much, even if it is a supposed give away (which I think a truly good blog should avoid.) All just my opinion,I understand that it can be hard not to milk that cash cow, just try not to squeeze her dry too quickly… or let her shit on your readers.

May 29, 2014 at 7:40 amit’s the way blog advertising has gone… click back through and you will see product placement posts appear on this site from time to time, and elsewhere too. designsponge did an interesting post about how blog ads are changing/ have to change. get used to seeing more of it… I am personally not a fan.
