Citrus Lane Review

This post does include my referral link for Citrus Lane!  We both benefit by you clicking on it.  I get $10 off my next box and so do you!

Today I got my first Citrus Lane box for my 3 month old baby girl.   I used someones link and paid $15 for the box.  The overall idea is a monthly subscription gift service for children with products selected for the age of your child.  You receive 4 or more items each month.  I believe the highest age is 5 but you might want to check before you decide.

I was very pleased with my box.  My little girl got an Iplay sun hat with 50 SPF, Boon "rubber" odd duck, soothing cream from Episencial, and foot therapy cream for me from Susan Brown Baby.  There was also a sample of diaper cream and nourishing lotion from Susan Brown. For the $15, this was definitely a deal.  I felt that the products were well selected for my daughters age and stage.  I liked that the products were useful and high quality.  There were also coupon codes if you wanted to but more products from three of the four companies represented.

I will at least try one more month and see how the products are in the next shipment.  

Citrus Lane does have a Facebook page, but stay away if you want the box to be a surprise.  Not to mention, this month there seemed to be a lot of negative comments which dampened my mood.  However, I have nothing negative to say and think it was well worth the money.  I needed a little sunhat for my girl and this one is perfect!

Brainstorming and Dreaming

Have you ever had a day when things just come to you? Thoughts and ideas that you would have never considered pop in and out of your brain. And then, you share them with someone, and they shoot them down.

That is what today was. I had a great idea- a plan for what else? A new website. Truly, the thought of sitting around all summer without something productive to focus my time on makes me loony.

I will love the first weeks home from work, and then I will get bored... just like when I was in school as the student. Summer break is great, but a bit too long for me.

Of course, I have never had children and summer break, so it could be different!

Anyway, my husband thinks I am crazy and off the wall. I think I have a great idea... even a million dollar idea! LOL! But his question to me was "what would the priority be- the new idea or our family?" What is he really trying to say? And of course, he was "not being negative." What was it then.

I think he needs to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! again.
