Monday Morning Ramblings

~We had a fairly busy weekend around here, which mainly revolved around bunny pictures. I realized that this weekend was the LAST weekend the place I wanted to take the kids for bunny pictures was doing it (they have since extended it). So I was under a little bit of pressure to find some clothes (Target and GAP saved me). And, umm, as usual, WB did an amazing job for the photographers ;).

Poor WB ;(

~I hate to say it, but I don’t know if I am getting any subscription boxes in the mail this week ;(.  I am still waiting on two February boxes (bluum and The Pink Fancy Box), but I haven’t even gotten shipping notices on those yet.  BOO.  Oh wait, I might be getting, my March Julep Maven box.  Things could be looking up ;).

~Umm, if you missed my giveaway post on Saturday, let’s just say, you will be sad.  Instead of making you go back and search to see what I am giving away, I’ll post it again here.  If you click on the picture, you’ll end up right at the place you need to be to enter.

~I mentioned last week that I have been been cleaning out my google reader and man, it feels good to be finished. I actually read 99% of the blogs that are in there now, instead of the 50% from before. And I realized that the ones I didn’t read were most of the big ones. No wonder these people weren’t ever replying to my comments. I suppose having 20,000 readers leaves little time to reply to comments huh?  I also cleaned out my e-mail box too and I now plan to keep that thing clean from now on!

~I put up the code for the link up on my sidebar, so if you want to participate this week, grab the button and come back on Thursday to link-up. It’s come to my attention that not everyone knows what a link-up is. Here’s the deal: One blog (or two or whatever) “host” the link-up. Basically that means they start the party. Ha. Everyone posts on that same topic (and uses that same button) and then comes back and “link-ups” to the host. Your blog will refer people back to the host blog and the host blog will have a list (i.e. the link-up) of all the blogs that are participating so you can check out all those too and make some new blog friends and / or discover some new reads. Hopefully that made sense.

~And finally, while at Target the other day (shopping for stuff for the boys), I made it a point to spin by the Easter area to check on (future) clearance items.  There are so many great little Easter basket filler items this year that will make for amazing goodie bag items down the road.  Here’s a peek at my 75% off and 90% off items from a few years ago.  And my stuff from last year.  And OMG, there are three spatulas in one of those pictures that are currently unaccounted for.  I must go on a manhunt in my Easter bins and put those things in their proper home.

Spread the love

    You know I was at Target this weekend and walked by the Wilton Easter stuff and saw the spatulas and totally thought of you. Ha! Target took so much of my money this weekend. Marshall’s. Guess when I got a divorce I shouldn’t of sold ALL my furniture to be a brat (ahem). Ha!

    Aw, I saw the boys preview photo on facebook yesterday. So cute! I am seriously thinking about getting bunny photos taken.

  4. Alison

    I love love love WB in the easter photo.

  5. Sara

    The picture of WB is so cute!! I mean yes he is crying but that is what makes it so cute. I just read your past Easter haul posts from the past and they are super impressive. Can’t wait to read this years.

    I just wanted to stop by and say that I really appreciate and love your subscription box reviews! I just discovered subscription boxes and your reviews have really helped me with picking which boxes I want! Thank you 🙂

    I love the picture!

    I am having box withdrawal. I didn’t get March Julep. I should’ve gotten It Girl and been done with it. I already need new colors. I’ll be good and use what I have.

  8. Melissa

    I got my Julep box on Saturday so I’m sure yours will be there momentarily, especially since they ship from WA and you’re in Michigan and I’m in North Carolina, seems like you should have gotten yours before me!

    That picture is awesome, even if WB is crying it’s still one for posterity!

  9. jen

    Post idea: share all your favorite blogs! I love ones that post every day (like you!).

  10. Brittany

    OMG that picture has me rolling! Please tell me that for’s an Easter card or something equally awesome.

  11. Sally

    LOVE the Easter photo!
    I was just thinking that I need to clean up my reader list, as well, so that I can see the blogs I really enjoy reading. Yours will be staying! Love it here 🙂

  12. Mary

    OMG that picture!! It made me laugh, then ahhh, then laugh again. Love it.

    I’m trying to start blogging again, but I keep forgetting about it. Oops. Maybe I’ll get better about it from your reminders! lol

  13. Amy

    I love this picture. I wish there was a place that took pictures with bunnies by us!

  14. Jennifer

    LOVE the picture! I also just noticed the buffer button on the top left, is that new?

  15. Jen Dera

    Loving the photo, and thanks so much for the link!

  16. Sophia

    I’m obsessed with the easter picture!!

  17. I’m totally in love with the Easter picture…it’s very rare WB is caught not smiling, but even though he’s sportin the pouty lip he still makes me smile!

    I for sure plan on linking up on Thursday and I plan on figuring out how to do it before hand to ensure I do it right!

    My sister is obsessed with the Easter spatula with the Easter eggs on it that they have at Target. There is no Target where she lives and last week while on a date she text me that I have to go to Target and get her the spatula because the movie theater was in that shopping center.

    The Easter picture is priceless! WB seems to always have a great smile, but his face in this one is adorable! I have over 1000 unread posts in my reader, so think it’s time to clean it out again. *sigh*

    Every morning WB’s sweet happy smile graces my Instagram feed, and yet … that poor pout! The picture is still a keeper — and will make for a great story when he’s older!

  21. Erica

    I want to link up! Will Thursday Thoughts be the only link-up you are going to host? Also, I am not sure I understand the whole process…should I wait until Thursday to post the link in the top of the blog post? Thanks for your help!
