Disclosure: If you make a purchase through the links posted below, I may receive a small compensation. Read the full disclosure.
~I’ll do a full recap later, but I got a payout from Moxie Jean yesterday (you can see what I sent in here)! I am impressed with their timing, but I think my expections of a payout were too high. For 11 items, I received $22.99. Am I thrilled? No. Would I have gotten more on say ebay? Maybe, but it would have been a pain in the butt. Would I have gotten more or even this much at a garage sale? Not a chance! I am tossing around the idea of starting a FB Group to Buy / Sell / Trade kids clothes though. I know some of you have GREAT stuff and I would love to trade and buy without the middle man!
~L is headed up-north today, while B is headed up tomorrow after work. I don’t *think* WB and I are going to go (I have SO much to do around here it’s insane), but we’ll see. L is so excited about the trip he can hardly stand it and I am excited for him. WB is totally going to miss L though. The older WB gets The cooler L gets.
~B and I completed the Challenge on Tuesday and I am happy to report I am down around 14lbs! Woot woot! Most of it was lost during the 10 Day Cleanse portion but I also didn’t measure inches lost which they recommend. B and I had a cheat day yesterday and I had a Diet Pepsi and yeah, I felt like crap after. I was just so FULL. It’s back at clean eating again today though! I am plan to use Catalyst, Thermoplus, the Meal Replacement Shakes and of course Spark still.
~It’s been SO hot here lately. Like sweltering hot. We went outside for a walk / bike ride yesterday afternoon and realized about 5 minutes into it that it was a bad idea! Way too hot for that. So we headed home and did some coloring and art and crafts. WB even participated. And then later we watched a new Scooby Doo dvd we rented from the library. L’s already excited to go back to the library next week to get more books and dvd’s. What are some of your “it’s too hot to play outside activities”?
~I know The Challenge: Rivals II started this week, but it’s not on Hulu yet. I’m not sure how you can tell if it will be or not, but I need to get my Challenge fix soon. Have you watched? Tell me what I am missing!
~I’m still trying to decide if I should go to BlogHer next week. I’m tossing around the idea of going there Friday and coming back Saturday. B’s down for it and says he’ll entertain the kids in the city while I do some “blog stuff”. It’s SO close (well closer than it’s been in the past) and I have always wanted to go check out the swag (aka the Expo Hall) so why not? If I can get an insanely cheap hotel room (through Priceline or something), I’m doing it.
That’s it from here. I gotta finish folding laundry and get L all packed up! And don’t forget to link-up your Thursday Thoughts below!
I totally think you should go to BlogHer! 🙂
I’m new to your blog and thought I would say that I love reading your posts 🙂
I Pink i Love You
It sees like a lot of work for $22. Thanks for reviewing, I will take a pass! Will be back later tonight when I am ready to relax!
I’m lmao because this is the second time you mentioned “BlogHer” and I assumed it was some online service like bloglovin or something until this post when you mentioned hotels! Hey, I think you should go as long as you don’t have to share a room with some blogging strangers! Lol
I love the Challenge! There is plenty of CT drama, and I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but I’m hoping for a Diem/CT reunion. I’m way too invested in this…
I’m running out of things to do inside with my 15-month old son. He really hasn’t mastered the crayon thing yet without them ending up in his mouth. There are only so many times I can read Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar without losing my mind! I’m thinking of walking around Somerset just for something to do.
I can relate when it comes to the heat! I’m in Vegas visiting family and it’s been at least 105 each day.
I placed an order from Moxie Jane after you posted about them on your blog. I too was impressed with their timing! I placed an order on Monday and had my items on Wednesday! Two items were new with tags and the third item was like new. I used the $10.00 off coupon and am very happy with my purchase!
I’m not sure if you are a fan of CT or not. I love him! First night in the house and CT & Diem are kissing in the pool. Made me so happy because for some reason I want them to end up together. Second night in the house he’s in the hall with some other chick : ( I missed episode 2 but DVRd it to watch tonight.
Congrats on losing 14lbs! That’s awesome! I linked up today for the very first time! I’m very new at blogging 🙂

Have you ever thought to look around and see if there is a kids-specific seasonal consignment sale in your area? Here in NC, they have one twice a year in our county. Everything kid — clothes, toys, furniture, books, accessories, nursery stuff … anything and everything you can think of, even maternity clothes for expecting moms. Not only is it a great place to find a good deal, but I’ve made great money from the two that I’ve sold at. So far, its only been girls clothes and some accessory type stuff [bouncy seat, rock n play sleeper, etc] but each time, I make at least $200. I don’t have to be there physically, only to drop off and pick up. They mail the check, do all the selling, and then only take their small cut [which for ours is about 40%] — so much easier than worrying about ebay or getting short changed! You can price the items how you want!
I melt for pics of WB. Knowing that he thinks his older bro is the coolest kid in town makes him even more adorbs.
You can watch all MTV shows on the MTV website. Generally they are posted the day after they air and stay up until the next episode. Then they get put back up a month or 2 later. That is the only way that I have found to watch MTV shows online without buying them.
You could also sell your clothes on Instagram. I noticed q bunch of people are selling tons.
Has THREDup processed your stuff yet?!?!
The Challenge is typical – awesomely horrible. Can’t NOT watch it. Sorta like Big Brother – except worse. I received my UMCheeky month 2 today and it’s the same as last month – just different colors. As cute as their undies are, I was disappointed. I think I’ll give it another month or 2 since it’s only $8, but if its more of the same I think I’m going to cancel. Also got my MeUndies replacement mystery box today – they handled the mix up like pros (even though when I called, the girl seemed a little too laid back for my taste) and I really like my mystery box (2 undies, 2 shirts, a pair of socks and an Uber gift card). The Uber gift card sucks (even if they were in STL I probably wouldn’t use it). It’s $20 off your first ride if anyone is interested in it? Congrats on your weight loss – clean eating is difficult but you can definitely tell the difference!
I would totally join a FB to buy people I kinda knows used clothes!!.
Also The challenge is def on HULU because i added it to my subscriptions the other day.
Congrats on the awesome weight loss. This looks like something I want to do…did you couple the challange with excercise or was the weight loss mostly from changing eating?
