Citrus lane-October

My first paid citrus lane box came yesterday! YAY  

Look at all the goodies! This box is designed for my 18 month old.

Information card with all the details on the items in the box. No prices though.  I searched online because I was curious what this box was worth.  
Green Tones triangle Castanet $11.99
Water Bugs from Boon $6.79
Playful Wash from Episencial $9.00
Babybug book from Cricket Magazine $4.95
3-month Digital Subscription Babybug from Cricket Magazine coupon code ( i could only find a year subscription $17.99 so about $4.50 for 3 months)
So this box was worth well over the $25 I pay monthly at about $37.23.  

Look at this boy enjoying the opening of his box.  So fun.  What a great box and I plan to use all the items in it!  The items are all very high quality which I love.  Organic, green, natural products are the best to have for baby and kids.

Scholastic Book Haul

This is our first book order for the new school year.  I was given the job of "book orders" in James' kindergarten class this year. I didn't know how exciting it would be.  AND CHEAP!!  I love new books!

September's Order:
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom $4
Froggy's Day with Dad $4
Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! $2
Clark the Shark $3
There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell $4
Pete the Cat Pack (2 books) $7
Things that GO! $3

Total I spent $27 on 8 books! I think that's a great deal. Plus because I ordered, the classroom was able to receive 10 new books!  James' teacher was very excited about that.  We have already really enjoyed all of these books and cant wait to order more in October:)

Citrus lane box

I got an email from citrus lane asking me to come back and they would send me a free box. So I said of course. I couldn't pass it up. 


Super cute things. This box was designed for Ryan who is 18 months old.  There wasn't a product card to get details on all the products probably because it was a free box and not their normal monthly box. So here's what we got::
Barefoot Books "Octopus Opposites" $7.99 Empty, full; push, pull; young, old; hot, cold! The creatures in this vibrant book range from friendly elephants to exotic kookaburras, each with a pair of opposites to share. A companion to Alligator Alphabet and Counting Cockatoos,Octopus Opposites will encourage youngsters to find opposites all over the place in their own worlds. The learning continues at the end, where readers find out where each of the animals makes its home.
Clean Well Alcohol Free Biodegradable Wipes $4.99 Kids Safe Formula, Kills 99.99% of Germs Naturally, For Hands and Face
Crocodile Creek Ball $7.99 Heavy duty, textured ball is great for indoor or outdoor play. Bright bold colors for all ages. Ball is 5" diameter. Made of rubber, and contains no PVC, BPA or vinyl.
OutchiesJr $5.00 Based on the designs of the iconic book series featuring Paddington Bear, these bandages are sure to bring all of his adventures to life. There are five designs, 4 of each included in the box of 20.
Plum Kids Fruit & Veggie Shredz $4.49 5ct box a line of portable fruit & veggie snacks kids can twist, tie and twirl. With a full serving of fruit in each pocket-friendly packet, Fruit Shredz are an infusion of fruity fun free from the icky, sticky and not so yummy junk.
This was a free box because I signed up for a new subscription. Monthly Citrus Lane is $25 +tax.  The cost of the items total in this box was just over the $25.  So you do get your moneys worth.

Fall/Winter Children's Place Haul

I ordered a few things for the boys for the cooler weather. It's mostly for James and a couple things for Ryan. 


For James he has maybe one or two pairs of pants that go past his ankles. He has officially grown out of the toddler sizes and is a boys 5 now for sure. So I purchased 2 pairs of jeans, a lighter and a darker wash, and navy chino pants. All in size 5. I also ordered I new jacket for him that will be great for the wind and the rain. A new pair of Jammies. Pair of comfy basketball shorts. Blue sweater. White socks. Undies. 


Ryan has all James' hand me downs so he is ok but I ordered him the same jacket James got. Also a super soft zip up hoodie and a white and navy sweater.


I used a 30% coupon code when you spend $60 or more and spent a total of $144.89.

Unmentionably Cheeky September Box

I got my first Unmentionably Cheeky box! I was super excited for this box because I'm in some need of new undies bad.  Look at the PINK... so cute and I love the styles they sent!  You get 2 new unders for only $6 a month.  ( I think the first box it $6 and the other boxes are $9... still a great deal)  Its one of the least expensive subscription boxes out there.  I had to try.


Packaging is little and black, well because you are only getting 2 tiny garments. At least the postman doesn't know whats in there! :)


They rapped them in pretty purple tissue paper.  A nice touch.


In the package they also sent a postcard with the companies ad.  Overall I am so happy with the product.  Both panties are great quality and the colors are excellent.  They both fit perfect and they are so comfy.  I washed and dried with no problems.  And I love what they sent.
