It’s time for another Thursday Thoughts! If you are participating make sure to throw your link in below. I’ll be making my normal rounds later in the day to visit / comment (*) and see what everyone is thinking about today! And if you want to participate, but have no idea what a link-up is, you can check out my explanation of it here.
~My mom and I (and WB) are headed to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch today! We’ve been wanting to go since it opened, but don’t really want to wait two hours to eat, so hopefully it’s not too bananas. We do plan to do a little shopping as well, so I guess it’s no big deal if there is a wait.
~I pulled the winners of a few giveaways last night and want to say congrats to Marietta Tis***e who won the November PopSugar Must Have Box, Nina and Hope and Evian who won the MunchPak giveaway and Diana W**e. who won the Birchbox Snowday Limited Edition Box! If you didn’t win, don’t worry, I have a few other giveaways up here. And of course I have some in the works as well. Also, I had no idea everyone was going to be so excited about the Allure Winter Beauty Box giveaway! OMG have people been entering! That makes me even more excited about it and so glad I decided to give mine away.
~It’s not for a few weeks, but I am already excited about going to Painting with a Twist. We got a gift card last year from my parents for Christmas and I have been stalking the website for just the right picture on just the right day / time. We will be painting “Winter Night” and I cannot wait to see how this goes down. Has anyone ever been? What’d you paint? And how’d it go?
~On pretty much everyone’s recommendations, I bought some (crunchy) cookie butter from Trader Joe’s this week! And you are right – it’s good. I don’t just want to eat it with a spoon though. I think it’s too rich for that. But on apples, so good. I’ll get the regular next time, but L opted of for the crunchy on this trip. Also while there it reminded me of how much I used to love their “Better n’ Peanut Butter”. I should have grabbed some.
~I had big plans this weekend to hit up the Pottery Barn Outlet (in search of superhero things for L’s room redo) before the holiday madness started. And then I realized that I have a mini photoshoot scheduled for the boys on Saturday morning and B and L are going to the Lions game Sunday. I need to rethink this. Maybe he’ll want to do dinner in Frankenmuth and entertain L doing something while I’m shopping. That might work actually. And be fun for everyone.
~It was suggested that I take a poll to see what percentage of people had already started decorating for the holidays and I am super curious myself, so let’s do it! I personally have not started yet, but I want to. I just haven’t had the time yet, but if I get a bit of time this weekend, it’s on! And not only do I want to decorate, I want to do some holiday crafts. My mom and I need to make more ornament wreaths and I want do to something fun and crafty with the boys as well!
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
That’s it for now! What’s on your mind today?
