~We had a great weekend over here. L had an amazing time up-north and probably could have stayed another few days and been perfectly happy. He loves it up there and loves playing with his cousin (my cousin’s son really – you figure out how they are related because I don’t know) even more. B ran the Corktown 5K yesterday (in 22:27 – so awesome!) and has now completed race #2 of his 30 races in his 30th year (really in 2013). We also broke out the patio furniture. It’s been in the garage in boxes since it was delivered and since it got to over 60 degrees yesterday, we wanted to check it out. I am happy that the table is dent free since I bump into it every single day when I pull in the garage. Oops!
~Umm, who is all watching The Bachelor tonight? You know this girl is! Do you want Lindsey or Catherine to win? If you know who wins, don’t spoil it okay? And do you think they will actually make it to the alter? I am guessing that, no matter what, this will be the most.shocking.final.rose.ceremony.ever.
~It’s possible that this is going to be the biggest subscription box week ever. I am excpecting: PopSugar, Birchbox, bluum, Love With Food, Homegrown Collective, The Little Book Club, Yuzen, Citrus Lane (maybe Saturday), Dottiebox and Goodies. I *think* that’s it, but I gotta tell you, sometimes I don’t even know what is coming until I see it in my mailbox. It’s going to be a fun (and busy) week here that’s for sure!!!
~I think WB is finally on the verge of cutting his first tooth. Poor dude is miserable. I mean miserable for WB anyway. I feel bad for the guy. It’s possible he’ll be trying some motrin tonight for the first time ;(.
~I’m not going to complain about the time change or anything because I am sure everyone else is talking about it, but it is NOT helping with my attempt to become an early bird. At all. I want to start getting up by 7am everyday. That’s at least an hour or so before the kids get up and I think it’s a fairly reasonable goal. We’ll see how that works. What time do you all get up in the morning?
~It seems that everyone on my FB feed is going on Spring Break (not me) and I gotta tell you, I wouldn’t mind sipping drinks on a tropical beach right about now. Yeah, yesterday was nice, but you know what I mean. Are you going on any trips for Spring Break? Do tell!
~And finally, I my blog was blowing up (*) with hits from overseas on Saturdays. What were the people of Iran, Isreal, Russia, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, to name a few, in search of? Subscription boxes. I sense that these are untapped markets. Someone get these people Birchboxes and PopSugar boxes ASAP!! They want them!!!
Is it weird that after all that I’m just fixating on the fact that we have the same bed? Haha.
Did you ever review the most recent graze box that you got? I wasn’t sure if I had missed it. 🙂
Mackenzie was always up between 7/7:30 before the time change. Yesterday and today she was up at 8. I was able to get up and shower and start laundry/dishwasher. However, I prefer to have an extra hour at night which is why her bed time had been 7. Last night she was up till 7:30, I’m hoping we will work our way back to 7-7. Plus if she wakes me up in the morning at 7, I can usually get away with leaving her in bed for about 30 minutes after she wakes up.
Good luck with with your goal!
L and your cousin’s kid are 2nd cousins 🙂 I have a big family, so I know these things. {and your cousin’s kid is your cousin once removed… confusing, huh?}
I’m so excited for Bachelor tonight and I’m rooting for Lindsey (gotta root for the hometown girl… I’m from Missouri as well)! I can’t wait to see what this whole letter thing is about!
I get up on during the week at 7am and 9am on the weekends, but I don’t have kids yet (give it a few months).
So excited for the Bachelor finale tonight. I think Lindsay is going to be the winner. I really thought it was going to be Tierra since she was such a crazy bitch! Will Sean and the winner make it to the alter..highly unlikely! And then Teen Mom is on…busy TV night for me. But can’t keep away from the train wreck that is Teen Mom.
I hope to have a few boxes coming this week. And I just signed my husband up for some more fitness boxes through your links. Couldn’t get the KonaKase code to work?? Possibly signing up for a few more today. Sounds more fun then putting away the laundry 🙂
I’ll be wathcing The Bachelor tonight. I read to spoilers as to who won way back in Nov, but I won’t tell. As much as I’d like to see Sean be The Bachelor who actually marries the final girl he chooses (Jason doesn’t count since he proposed to Melissa first), I don’t see him marring the girl he chooses. I hope I’m wrong though. He seems like a nice guy. I’m looking forward to The Bachelorette… only 10 more weeks. 🙂
My kids love their second cousins too! Luckily they have quite a few first cousins, a couple second cousins, and a BUNCH of second cousins once removed? Is that right? My dad’s cousins kids? LOL So confusing, especially when the ages get off by a generation.
Does B have 30 races scheduled already? That’s just about every weekend between now and fall! Good luck to him 🙂
Hopefully I’ll get Bluum and Goodies this week, and I get graze every week. Citrus Lane I’ll either get really early, or really late :-/
I’m so jealous! I get up at 5:45am. I have to be at work by 7am. Of course, I don’t have any kids to wake me up on the weekends which is why I slept past 11am yesterday so nevermind, I’ll take the 5:45am on weekdays. 😉
I am so excited for the bachelor tonight! I’m rooting for Lindsey as well. They both seem nice but she seems to be a little more serious about Sean.
I’m so jealous of all the boxes you will get this week! I can’t wait to live vicariously through you as you post about them!
Ummm, yeah, they are second cousins!!?! I don’t have a strong feeling for either girl on The Bachelor this time…ok, maybe Lindsay. I don’t feel too bad for you about Spring Break cause if I remember correctly, you have some future plans, too!!??
I am SO excited for tonight. I look forward to the Bachelor every week but obviously this is the most important. I am thinking that he will pick Lindsey and I think they make a great match. But I really LOVE Catherine. I hope that she is the next bachelorette… or Leslie… or Dez. I really can’t decide.
As for making it to the alter, I always like to think they will and I’m almost always wrong. (Except I knew Ben and Cruella Deville aka Courtney, wouldn’t last.) I hope they do. I would like to believe that real relationships can form from this show. Once my son is a little older (and I get that bangin bod that must be a requirement?) I am totally signing up to be on the show.
Anyway, I can’t wait to see what happens and I will definitely be stopping by here tomorrow to chat with you about it!
P.S. Who are YOU rooting for?
Your patio is awesome… all that space!
I love love love your Easter book basket. You know how I could die of heartbreak- if you make a basket like that (just like that – 25 books all wrapped and stickers!) for all your adult (as in grown up and not XXX) readers and then have a giveaway of that basket and if I don’t win that… heartbreak! Seriously… a bunch of books and mystery giveaways all wrapped up with just a price quote.
Hello from Russia! 🙂
Actually L and your cousins kid are 3rd cousins. Him and your actual cousin are 2nd cousins.
Wow that’s a lot of different places that are visiting your blog!
I love the time change. It stays dark here a little bit longer, so my kids have been sleeping a little later. And since they have darkout curtains in their rooms, they don’t have trouble going to sleep at their normal time!
You want to wake up earlier though? Come to my house. I’ll see to it that it happens. I’m awake by 430 or 5am almost every single day. If I sleep until 6am anymore, I get mad. Mostly because it means I have almost NO quiet alone time all day …
I’ll be watching bachelor tonite; and hoping more for lindsey instead of catherine also i don’t think either will lead to the alter sad to say but sean will come out alright i believe after the show he will be meeting many more women and have his pick…. i really liked dez but her brother was so stoopid and i can’t believe they put him on the show.
I’m so excited for our first The Little Book Club box! I’m curious to see if we end up with books we already have, or if there will be new books to read. We also signed up for Wittlebee, and I love clothes, so I know that box will be fun to open! And of course we have Citrus Lane coming as well, and I’m curious more than usual because of all the hints they have been posting on facebook and twitter:)
I check your site everyday to see if you get any of them, because that means I’ll be getting them soon also:)
First of all AWESOME time on the 5K! That’s impressive!
On school days I usually set my alarm for sometime between 6:30-7. My 10 & 11 year olds set an alarm and get themselves up, but I have to drag the little ones out of bed.
We are going to Orlando for Spring Break, but nothing luxurious or anything like that. We’re visiting my brother-in-law & not even going to Disney (gasp!!).
