I was happy to get the chance to do a review for Citrus Lane. I received the July box and I couldn't wait to share it with our nephew Miguel. This box was perfect for him.
Bynto from Goodbyn with Dishwasher-Safe Sticker Set ($9.50 + $3.50): This is a company that Citrus Lane has partnered with before. Since I stay home with Owen, I don't really have the need to pack up food for him very often. But this is well-made and cute and is actually big enough that I probably can use it for Tim when I pack his lunches. The sticker set is really cute too, but I don't know if my obsessive compulsive nature could handle letting a two-year-old decorate it. I kind-of want to do it myself.
This is really perfect for my nephew to hold his snamcks since he loves bananas, apples and grapes and he can use this to take them to pre school.
- Cool It Buddy Instant Cold Pack from Me4Kidz ($2.99): This is a really neat product to include in the boxes. Especially with a lot of outdoor play during the summer. This is great to carry around with you for in case your child falls down and hurts themselves.
Our story
Once upon a time, I was a first-time mom. And like many expectant mothers, I spent months planning for every last detail of motherhood.
To find the absolute best products for my baby, I emailed all my mom friends and asked which brands they loved the most. Soon my inbox was flooded with advice on everything from breast pumps and strollers to pacifiers and swaddle blankets.
Being a parent is an amazing experience! But let's face it, it's not an easy job. There are so many options that it can be overwhelming.
How'd I finally make my decisions? I turned to other parents for their sage advice and words of wisdom. And that's why I created Citrus Lane–to help parents discover innovative products, share information, ask questions and find inspiration.
I like to think of our monthly boxes as care packages to help moms and dads on their parenting journeys. Every product we include has been recommended and reviewed by our advisory board and our community. No marketing gimmicks, no paid placements — just real recommendations from real parents for products that solve real problems.
