Unsealing December’s Sudsy Box was like releasing all of the scents of Christmas morning (in a box). Does that make sense? Eh, it totally did when I opened this collection of festive goodness. Mmmm… Christmasy!

Winter Storm 2014 aka The Week Without Subscription Boxes
Photo credit: Associated Press
Thanks to the big record-breaking winter (autumn?) storm that hit the Buffalo area last week, I’m way behind on my subscription box reviews. I haven’t gotten any packages delivered and I can’t really review what I don’t have. (I’m not that awesome. Not yet, anyway.)
Luckily, when it was all said and done my neighborhood only got about 7 inches of snow. Other nearby not so fortunate areas of the city/’burbs got over 6 FEET. In-SANE! My brother-in-law was actually stuck on the thruway for over 8 hours. With no signs of getting rescued, he had to tunnel through the snow to seek shelter in a nearby hotel. Sadly, others weren’t so lucky. I believe there were a total of 13 storm-related deaths last week. Awful.
So on that note, I suppose as much as I’ve missed my mail delivery, things could have been a LOT worse.
With all that behind us… BRING ON THE BOXES!! 😉
Citrus Lane November 2014 Review & Discount Code (Review #1)
It’s been a sloooow mail week here, thanks to the record-breaking winter storm that hit the Buffalo area. I haven’t gotten one subscription box all week (the horror!!). Thankfully, my mom got her Citrus Lane box and brought it over when she visited the girls yesterday. Mine was supposed to be here on Wednesday, but no sign of it yet… #bloggerproblems
If you haven’t heard, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids aged newborn-5. It’s $29/month (less with longer term subscriptions) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom. It’s by far one of my favorite boxes to open each month. [read more…]

Bluum November 2014 Review & Discount
I was excited when my November bluum box was delivered before I even got a shipping notification. Unfortunately, the excitement ended there…
If you’re new here, bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Each box contains five or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic. The contents are based on the age of your kiddo in months, so boxes tend to vary a LOT.

Ivy Kids November 2014 Review & Discount Code
When I found out that the theme for November’s Ivy Kids box was based on the book “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom“, I was excited to see what it would include. My girls are all about the alphabet lately and shout out letters anywhere they see them: Diplomas at the doctor’s office, grandpa’s sweatshirts, cereal boxes… If it has letters, the girls will recite ’em. Loudly. [read more…]

BiziBubble Review October 2014
I totally forgot that I was getting October’s BiziBubble box, so it was a nice surprise when I saw it on my doorstep this past weekend. I was a big fan of last month’s box (their very first one) and was curious to see what the “bonus gift” would be this time. [read more…]

Sapphire Soul is offering a special limited edition Frozen-inspired box for the holidays. The box is geared toward children and includes an assortment of goodies that any Frozen fan would be excited to receive. — It even includes personalized items from Elsa and Anna!
The contents of the box will vary depending on your child’s age. The box I’ll be reviewing is for children 5 and up, but if you specify that you have a younger child at checkout they’ll adjust the items to better suit your little one. [read more…]
