Wittlebee - May Review

So guess what arrived? That's right! Wittlebee box of amazing-ness. I truly look forward to this box every month. The latest news with the company has truly made me very sad. I hope this is not my last box! So once I opened it I saw they sent the same outfit we previously received. I was not to thrilled about this.

Apaman Sweat Pants - ($20.00~) I couldn't find the correct price for these or even find them online in a infant size. So I put what I might pay for them at a retail store. I personally LOVE these sweat pants for our little man. He looks to adorable in them, they fit him well and look great.

Threadless Pirate Octopus - ($10.99)  Well, another threadless tee in our box. I am really hating how thin and low quality these truly feel. But that issue aside I am loving the whole pirate animal thing! Baby A looks great in it, and it fits his entire nursery theme. I must say, momma approves!

Le Top Solid Blue Essentials - ($12.00) So.. What do I say about this? I hate it. Plainly I hate it. I hate the way it feels, its so blah. Like a old man's cotton golf shirt. The one with the collars that feel so rough and uncomfortable. Yeah not a fan at all wittle bee!
 Little Rebels All American Classics - ($10.00) So I found this shirt in the 12-18 month section of wittlebee, cause lets face it. Our selection was very slim this month. Its ok.. Not really my style, oops I mean Baby A, but he will wear it. Maybe.

Kate Quinn Organics Hoodie and Pants - (~$35.00 stole the price from Ms. Jennifer over at ramblingsofasuburbanmom.com) Yep, another one. Seriously wittlebee? I am quite disapponted. Not a fan at all of getting the same outfit 3 times in a row.

So all in all I total this box at $87.99 or around there. Totally not bad for paying $45 a month for a box. However my box has gone up in price $10 for the past 3 months. I am not happy at all with that, and after seeing the show room for June I just canceled my subscription. This was the last wittlebee box we will be receiving. I am looking into alternative boxes to take its place. But till then, I guess i'll shop at target.

Tuesday's Blues

-Weather. Seriously why is it so cold and gloom? Two days ago it was in the 90's and hot. Now its cold, gloomy and wet. I am so tired of the weather being so unpredictable. I need to be able to plan clothing for little A. I can't buy summer stuff, then have it cold. Who is going to sell sweats/hoodies when its May and in California. Horrible! Guess I better attack those sale racks this weekend.

- Teen Mom. How in the world are these young ladies even able to function in their day to day lives. With the lies, cheating, horrible taste in men, and constant drama.. I just can't imagine how they are able to function, let alone get anything done. It really annoys me to see them make the same mistakes over and over. I wish they could learn the first time. But I guess

- Teething. My son is working on his top two front teeth now, and oh my goodness. It has been nonstop crying, screaming, grunting, and misery! He even has teething cold symptoms. I hate seeing him in so much pain, it breaks my heart. I even ordered him a Amber necklace, I will do a review on that once he has worn it for a week.

- My USPS Mail Man. Normally I love getting mail and look forward to it. Except this new guy has lost at least a few packages a month of mine. I don't understand how USPS is even in business with how many packages are damaged and lost. I really need for my packages to arrive, not be marked delivered and not be delivered. C'mon now, common sense.

- Myself. I find myself to busy to keep up blogging. By the time I have time I am to tired to. I feel like I don't have enough time in the day, hell even a shower barely fits into my schedule. I need a nanny! I wonder if one would work for cookies only?

That's my blues for this Tuesday.

Citrus Lane - May Review

So I started receiving Citrus lane last month, but my box was damaged and was just a huge wreck I just didn't bother with photos or anything. So this month I received a perfect condition box but had a teething baby and zero time(sadly). We received the box right before we went to the beach, so I snagged some quick photos(which I apologize for, the quality isn't the best) so I could take a few of the stuff with us!


So here is what the box looks like when you first open it. It looks really great, like your getting a present in the mail. Kudos to Citrus Lane on making me feel like I am getting a present!

So once you open your present this is the few. Nicely put in, everything looks interesting. 
Plum Organics Little Cremes - $3.29: Baby A really loves these! Probably more then he loves the puffs we get at walmart. They are just an occasional little snack for fun. I love that they are organic, and do not require him to chew. They basically melt in his mouth the second it touches his tongue. I can definitely see these in our cabinets every month!


 EZ Grip Massaging Teether - $4.99 We received out box right before we went to the beach, so I snagged the photos quickly, mostly so I could take this bad boy with us. Let me just say, if you have a baby who does not deal with teething easily, this is your product! It seems so simple and like it wouldn't help. But oh man does it help!! Our son loves this thing, he bites down on it, shoves it in his mouth and even offers to share it with us. Probably my favorite Citrus Lane item yet!


 First Play Spinning Penguin - $7.99 We originally thought Baby A would LOVE this thing since he loves Pengu on netflix. Yeah this barely gets played with in our home. It pretty much just sits on our floor and gets ignored. Its a cute concept, but not fun for our son.


 Ooga Silicone Baby Spoon - $5.99 Its a train spoon, to go along with those train noises. Sadly, it is to big for our kids mouth. But I can't wait for him to try it! Its BPA free, and fun!


The Honest Co Shampoo+Body Wash - $9.99 So I saw this bag in my package and was like "Oh cute" lol. The photo doesn't really let you know what it is. Its a shampoo and body wash all in one for our little one. The scent of this one is "Sweet Orange Vanilla".. I can't help but wonder will my kid smell like the inside of a cadbery egg? I hope so! I might try to eat him!

So I total this box $32.35 before shipping. Which isn't bad considering the box is $21 before shipping. All in all I am ok with the box. But not completely in love. I have one more month of the gifted subscription before it runs out. I am not sure I will continue this box at this time.
