Citrus Lane July 2012

Bon Voyage! Citrus Lane has put together an adorable July box. I received several items that will be perfect for my annual Labor Day trip to New Jersey to visit the family.

Green Toys Racecar: We received a blue, BPA free toy racecar that Mayhem LOVES. He instantly grabbed that out of the box. The car is made from recycled milk cartons!



Medi Buddy First Aid Kit To Go: This kit includes an assortment of bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, a sting relief pad, burn relief cream, antibiotic ointment, and stickers in great little case. It's a great thing to have on the go.



Ella's Kitchen, Nibbly Fingers: We received a package of mangoes and carrots snack bars. My kids have enjoyed everything we have tried from Ella's Kitchen!



Baggu: This foldable tote will be GREAT to keep in my diaper bag, for those times when you could really use an extra tote. I frequently wish I had an extra bag to fill with beach toys, pool toys, or other kiddie items!



California Baby Travel Kit: Wonderful travel-size shampoo, conditioner, and hair gel! Perfect for my two little men, to make sure they look their best at Grandma's house!



Dapple detergent: Also received a travel size (3 washes worth) package of Dapple detergent. Dapple is a line of natural-based cleaning products for households with children. I may bring this to Grandma's too, so we can wash the baby's clothes in a more sensitive detergent if we need to.



The final item in the box was a certificate for three free Postagrams. It is a program that you can use to make postcards from pictures on your phone. This sounds very cute, and I'll have to try it!!

Check out Citrus Lane for yourself! $25/month for a wonderful box of mom-recommended products!

Citrus Lane Box - June 2012

My June Citrus Lane box just arrived! It made a rattle noise, so the boys were very excited to open it. I was excited to see that the theme of the box was 'the little artist'. The rattle noise was maracas, which are apparently the best toy ever. I may have to hide them, so I don't get a headache though.



The items this month include:

1. Wee Can Too Veggie Art Kit. This 'veggie baby art kit' is edible finger paint and crayons. I love this concept, since toddlers have a tendency to put finger paint right into their mouth. The kit is made of organic ingredients and real fruits and vegetables! There are also crayons. I will be very interested to see what Mayhem thinks of this kit. www.weecantooart.com

2. Sampler CD. I will add this CD to my car collection. Putumayo 2012 Playground Sampler includes 6 songs from around the world. www.putumayo.com

3. Pop & Lolli Decal. My only problem with this adorable owl is deciding where to put him. J said he looks like 'Z' from Nick Jr. and loves his hat. www.popandlolli.com





4. Hohner Kids Musical Instruments. This is the maracas. Bright green, with yellow details they make you happy just looking at them. And both boys love the noise they make! www.hohnerkids.com

5. BabyGanics Toy & Table Cleaner. I've wanted this product, so I'm glad it was included! Especially this week, with germs everywhere. In fact, I can use it on the maracas right now... www.babyganics.com

6. Minted Offer. Lastly, the box included a $35 credit towards items at Minted.com. This website features absolutely adorable birth announcements, party invitations, and stationary. I have never used it, but I'm going to check it out! www.minted.com

Citrus Lane

I ordered a Citrus Lane gift subscription, at the suggestion of my sister. I'm so glad she shared this wonderful site with me! www.citruslane.com
When given as a gift, a box would arrive each month for the length of the subscription- with baby items directed at your child's age and gender.

The May Citrus Lane box was themed "Fun in the Sun"- which is perfect, becuase today was 82 degrees here!

Included in this box were:

1. iPlay Sun Protection Hat: This type of hat is essential for our summer pool outings, since my children have my fair skin. This hat is adorable, bright blue with a hawaiian print design and guitars! www.iplaybabywear.com



2. Green Toys Stacking Cups: I love this toy, because I can toss it in my beach bag and keep Mayhem entertained in the sand. I also love that they are 'green'- so when he inevitably puts them in his mouth, it's not going to worry me! www.greentoys.com



3. Plum Organics Greek Yogurt Blend: Love these Plum products, which contain no sweetners or salt, just organic ingredients! I can never have too much food with Mayhem around... www.plumorganics.com

4. eco BABY All Natural Sunscreen: Just in time for the summer heat, I'm always looking for sunscreen that is safe for my fair babies!



5. Joyus $15 gift card: I would have been happy with just the other items in the box- but I also get to explore a new website, and go shopping! www.joyus.com

I also appreciated the pamphlet included with the box, that had some little tips and tricks! What a great company- I wish I had thought of this!! I love the concept of getting an exciting box each month- tailored to your child's age. This box gets me ready for summer! Can't wait to try the sunscreen and go shopping with my gift card!
