Citrus Lane May 2013 Review

We believe we have identified most of the Citrus Lane boxes. We did not get all of the Green Toys available, and we know some people received a submarine as well as a boat (we have the tugboat, so are happy we did not get that one-- and are trading our extra pizza for a submarine). Below you can see all the fantastic goodness May brought us (and I mean FANTASTIC GOODNESS!!!) Citrus Lane is $20 a month BUT with HALFOFF you can save 50% off of you first box!

Older child box-- this box came for my 5 and 6 year old. The only minor differences it in color of gloves (my daughter got pink), and the spray was cleaning wipes in the other box.

Get Carded-- with Hallmark

Is there anything more special than getting a card in the mail? It is that little reminder that someone was thinking of you! I love both sending and receiving cards, and that is why I am so excited to be a part of the get Carded Challenge from Hallmark.

I sent this card, which plays music when you open it, to my cousin!

The challenge is to send someone a card for 7 days. Think of the joy Hallmark is spreading across the world, 1 card at a time.
I sent this one to my best friend, to remind her that being a mom is HARD, but it is so good!

If you are a blogger, you can check out and sign up for the challenge yourself! They even include stamps! Go to: corporate.Hallmark.com/GetCarded

This was a fantastic challenge, and I hope you decide to join in the fun as well!

Tranquility Naturel Review

Are you looking for a natural way to bring more peace into your life. I try to be as calm as possible, but some days it is just not possible. Take this morning, for example-- my son HID his shoes so he could stay home today! He hid not only his regular shoes, but his backup shoes as well! What a hectic morning! I am glad to be reviewing Apteka Naturel's Traquility Naturel Supplement.

This supplement helps to reduce stress through Zembrin, a South African ingredient. It actually DOES help my stress levels, especially when I am overly anxious!
