March Citrus Lane Toddler box

Ok, so another one of these. If you read my baby box post, I wasn't thrilled with this mama item. But I like tennis shoes and crocs..so there.

This was the first thing we saw because it literally made the box puffy. haha..Kate was BEYOND thrilled with her new pillow Cloud B. It has a removable lavender scented pouch it(which smells heavenly) and is super soft. It can be shut like a pillow pet. She will appreciate this item for a while I have a feeling! ($8.95 on amazon)
Kate was not thrilled with this item even though she wanted it right away. However, Kate doesn't like pouch food much even though her older siblings do.(Should have given it to them!).. But at least its an organic option that I'm sure tasted great if my texture sensitive child could handle it. ;) (These come in multipacks on Amazon, but run about $1.26 each.)
Puzzle Wheel by Mudpuppy. These pieces are nicely sized for this age group and she was able to put it together pretty easily, so no fussing or begging Mommy to basically do it for her. She loved the girly theme and has played with this often since we got the box. Definitely worth it! haha..(These ranged from $5.00 to $10 on Amazon based on which one you bought)
Wee Gallery Jungle Tattoos. ALL the kids were super happy about these and Kate happily shared. So cute and nice and kiddy as far as kid tattoos go. :) ($5 on Amazon)
So yeah, there was my toddler box!

(However, some people reported having problems with this code, so try using BREAK10 for another discount if the TAKEHALF one causes you problems.)

New box coming!

One of the ways I am able to get some of these subscription boxes is via their referral programs. Some sites I just sign up and promote till I have enough credits to try a box myself for cheap or free.

So, April will bring about a box from Kiwi Crate. Its a monthly subscription box that has two craft projects in it for kids ages 3-7. I am very excited about this because usually the products I receive are for smaller kids or babies and my big kids have been sad to not get anything for them. So, even though Olivia is 8, I figured she and Noah will still appreciate the crafts. What's great is you can add on extra craft supplies for siblings so there is no fighting over who gets to do which craft.

Will let you know how it goes and whether we like it or not. I only ever intend to sign up for one month unless I get a great deal somehow because I like to use my money wisely. ;)

Check them out!

March Citrus Lane baby box

My Citrus Lane box for March for Micah- No video this time because the boxes and their contents starting going missing as soon as I opened them! haha..Though, that means I got good stuff. :)

Weleda Baby Calendula Weather protection cream. We have never tried Weleda products so I'm happy to sample this. Its a full sized product I believe. 2 of my kids got wind chapped bad last winter, and even though spring is breaking through, I'm sure this will be good for various things. ($9-12 on Amazon)

A Green Sprouts Easy to Go Feeding set. Comes with a bib, a spoon, a feeding guide and a wipe you wet and it puffs up. Made from plants and disposable...spoon can be used and is dishwasher safe for up to 10 uses or washing by hand will make its life longer. This is something I wouldn't buy for myself but I'm too cheap for things like this, but getting one in my box was cool, cause I can throw it in my diaper bag and have it ready to go while out! :) ($8.99 for 6 pk. on Amazon)

Wee Gallery Art Cards. While this is for his age range, Micah could have taken or left these but he usually prefers toys that aren't for him anyways..They are SUPER cute and I think if he was a little bit younger he would be liked these. He has played with them, but only quickly looks then moves on. They have lots of cute sets. We got the Jungle Collection. ($12.99 on Amazon)
NurturMe dried organic baby food. We got Squash and Peas. These can be reconstituted with breastmilk, formula, or water as baby food..or mixed into foods like mac and cheese/sauces and baked goods to give them a nutritional boost. Micah still likes baby food so that is most likely how we will use these, but I like their versatility. (These only come in multipacks, but they run approx. $1.26 per pack.)

The Mama gift in the box this month was a $20 off code for Just Fab. However, due to the fact that everything at JustFab is priced $39.95, the 20 off wasn't enough for me to use it..but maybe its cause I'm not that into shoes?? haha..(No ladies hunt me down for my lack or care of shoes).
Micah was super stoked about this teether! By Begin Again...I love toys made here in the states and made using natural products. Soon as I gave this to him he played with it a lot and most definitely teethed on it. haha..I looked them on up Amazon, and they make lots of cool toys! ($9.99 on Amazon)
And that was my box..! I wouldn't say it was my favorite, but it was a full box, so I got my money's worth for SURE and I was exposed to some products that I normally might have seen or bought. Which is why I love this service. :)
