Frontier Co-op


Back in October a few friends & I set up a wholesale account through Frontier Co-op. Since then we have ordered stuff almost every month and are making great savings in the process. Not only do we get bulk deals, but they offer many organic products as well.

Click here for the link for creating a wholesale customer account. There is a $10 Membership fee (I think its yearly, but it might be a one time fee... I was not the one who set up our wholesale account).

Once you create your wholesale account you are ready to go! I suggest ordering a free catalog with your first purchase so you can look through all the products available when internet isn't always up (we live in the country and don't have internet at home so the catalog is really nice for us!).

Some products that I am loving that we have already purchased and used are listed below:

Of course I am also loving all their Aura Cacia essential oils. We have purchased/used:

There are many other oils available, but those are the ones we have purchased so far to use.

I am always excited about their monthly sales as well. You can almost always find something you want to grab at a dollar or two cheaper than you would get it at regular price. If you use herbs and spices, buying in bulk here is also great! We love to save money by buying organic herbs in bulk. Its more costly up front, but if you have freezer space for the extra it is totally worth it! Especially for things you use quite often.

Wooden Toys For Kids

My latest thing has been finding wooden toys for my son. Quite a challenge, but there are products out there! Especially when you are able to shop online. I thought I would share a few of the things I have found recently with you.

I am loving these wooden alphabet magnetic letters from LuccaWorkshop on Etsy! Of course I like them cuz I'm a mom and want things to be pretty so I doubt I will end up getting them, but they ARE beautiful!

Now these wooden animal alphabet magnetic letters would be more to my sons taste but still please my need to have things looking pretty. These are also from LuccaWorshop on Etsy.

These wooden alphabet magnetic letters are from Melissa & Doug. A nice feature to them is that the magnetic part covers the full back of the letter so you don't have to worry about the magnet coming off and being a choking hazard.

These alphabet nesting stacking blocks, also from Melissa & Dough, are really neat too. (Can you tell I'm on an alphabet kick? lol).

This wooden shape sorter cube is really awesome! It is from Melissa & Doug.

Wooden stacking cone! I love this one because of its bright colors. It is from Pure Kids Play.


I am still looking and finding things, but this is the start of my search for wooden toys for Little C. Hope you were able to find this post useful. I've not bought or used any of these products yet, but am considering buying some of them.
