Review: Citrus Lane

It's been awhile, but I did my first Citrus Lane review (here) back in September. I'm so obsessed with my monthly boxes, that I thought it was time to start sharing again! 

So, here we go, a look inside my January box!

Let me start with this adorable car from Plan Toys.

I'm a sucker for wooden toys. So, I was in love with how stinkin cute this toy car was the second I saw it, and so was my son! The age on this toy is 6-12 months, and my son got it just as he turned one. This toy car is super easy for him to hold, and it has "easy-grip wedges that move up and down with each touch" which makes it super fun for him to play with!

All Plan Toys are made from chemical-free, recycled rubberwood with non-toxic paint. 

...As if I needed a reason to love them any more! 

Baby Car from Plan Toys $15.00

Zoo Plate from Skip Hop $6.00

Octopus Opposites from Barefoot Books $7.99

Octopus Opposites was the fourth Barefoot Book we've received. I am always so excited to see books in our Citrus Lane boxes. For one, my son is obsessed with them. Two, it gives us something new to read. Three, you can never have enough books! 

The Skip Hop Zoo Plate was perfect timing for us! At one, my son was more interested in feeding himself, and was wanting to eat off plates. Although this plate does not fit on the highchair tray we have, it is perfect for snacks on the coffee table! And... it is adorable!

I also got a travel size sample of Dapple Dish Soap ($2.29), which I had received before, but no worries there. It's all natural and baby safe, so I've already put it to use and it's almost gone! 

My box for January totaled $31.28, so again, I came ahead with my $25.00 a month subscription. And I continue to be a very happy customer. It's so fun to try new products each month, and Jackson is starting to enjoy it more too. He is now the first to go through the box once we get it, and pull out his favorite toys! :)

Citrus Lane : September

A look into my Citrus Lane box for September!

Skip Hop | Hug & Hide Stroller Toy: $10.00

AMMO Books | Charley Harper 123s: $9.95

Episencial | 3.4 Ounce Playful Wash: $4.00

NurturME | NurturMeals: About $2.50 (Target)

Julep | Nail Color: $14.00 (Non Member)

I have a month to month subscription to Citrus Lane which runs me just $25.00 a month (with free shipping), and my box for September was valued at approximately $40.45. 

I am always excited to see what the new month will bring, and this month did not disappoint.

The breakdown:

I absolutely loved the Charley Harper book. The artwork was beautiful, and Jackson does not have a counting book yet so I, as a mommy, was so happy to see this. Also, my little man LOVES books, and is a pro at turning pages these days, so he was very excited for this as well. 

The Hug & Hide Stroller Toy from Skip Hop is another one of those toys that is great for on the go! The clip on the owl is great, and Jackson has yet to find a way to unhook it, and throw it on the floor while out and about running errands with me. It also comes with a teether attached. A definite win in my book.

I have yet to use the Playful Wash from Episencial and I also haven't tried the NurturMeals just yet. As soon as I am done with the shampoo & body wash from The Honest Company that I received in a previous box, the Playful Wash will be next on my list. I love that it is pH-balanced, so it is safe for the eyes, and it is completely organic and safe for all ages. 

 NurturMeals from NurturMe is very different from any baby food I have tried to date. I normally make my little mans food, however I always have a stash of "packets" for quick and easy on the go feeding. With NurturMeals, you simply add milk, formula, or water to make purees. You can even mix them into food for an added boost of nutrients. NurturMeals are organic, gluten-free, dried fruit and veggie meals for your little ones 6 months- 4 years. Although they are not as easy as "packets" for on the go, I am looking forward to giving these a try! 

Last but not least. I saw quite a few complaints from Citrus Lane members who got the Nail Color from Julep in their September box, stating that they did not want  anything for themselves, and would rather have had another item for there little ones. I'm not sure if this makes me a bad mommy or not, but I was so excited to see a full size nail polish in a beautiful color for myself. I'm sure there are many mommy's like me out there, living on a budget, and I very rarely, if ever spend money on myself anymore. 99.9% of the time, I'd much rather get something for Jackson than for myself. SO this was a pleasant surprise that I am not complaining about. :)
