~Happy Monday! Let’s see, where to begin. Let’s start with our weekend. B had drill (National Guard) so he was gone all weekend (well during the day anyway) leaving the little boys and I to entertain ourselves. And boy, did we ever! Saturday we hit up the lego store (for L) and Build-A-Bear (for WB) and went out to lunch with my mom. We don’t make it to this mall often (I used to when I worked because it was 5 minutes from my office which was amazing), but L loves it. It has a walkway that connects the two sides of the mall which are on either side of the street with moving sidewalks that he thinks is just amazing. After cleaning up at the lego store, we headed over to Build-A-Bear to build something for WB. I left L in charge and think that the dog (named puppy) in the fireman suit (WB’s room is fire trucks) was a great pick! Sunday was spent building legos, playing trains and catching up on chores around the house (well that is what I did Sunday). A good weekend all around!
~Ahhh, let’s talk about the Golden Globes! Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were fabulous. Those two should host it every year. I laughed out loud quite a few times. And I was so excited when Amy Poehler won! I just love Jennifer Lawrence in general, but I wasn’t feeling her dress this year. Jacqueline Bisset? What in the? Open bar or just in shock from winning? Not sure. My favorite dresses were Margot Robbie and Lupita Nyong’o and my least favorite? Gosh there were so many. I wasn’t loving Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock or Paula Patton that’s for sure. I think the Golden Globes is my favorite of all the awards shows. I love watching everyone get up and chat during breaks!
~I am hoping that it’s a busier week around here subscription box wise. I am expecting to receive Birchbox, Citrus Lane, Plated, ipsy (our Glam rooms are updated!), Fabletics, Montubox, PopSugar (hoping for spoilers today or tomorrow) and a few more that are slipping my mind.
~Oh I don’t know if I mentioned it, but Birchbox has paired up with US Weekly for February and is doing a “Step and Repeat” themed box! All subscribers will get this themed box along with all new subscribers who sign up by February 15th! New subscribers also get a 12-issue subscription to US Weekly which is a $9.95/value (Birchbox is only $10/month). I know the picture shows some of the items we might get (I mean there is no way we will get ALL that stuff), I am still beyond excited!
~I got my Essentials Bundle from Honest Co. over the weekend and the cleaning supplies were frozen solid! They thawed out nicely though and I am assuming that they will be totally fine to use right?
~If you are in the Metro Detroit area and thinking about some personal pictures for your Valentine, totally check out my friends (I went to high school with these ladies) at Capture A Moment Photography! They have kids mini Valentine’s Day shoots if that’s more your thing and I am planning on scheduling one for my boys. Any outfit ideas for them? I did red and white ties for Christmas, so I need to branch out. Help!!
~My mom and I are making our Valentine’s ribbon wreaths today!! I am super excited to see how they turn out and have my fingers crossed it works out well. We picked some cute ribbons to use, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t. I will post a finished product to Instagram!
~The new Socialbliss Style Box won the “What Box Should I Try Next” poll and Iam happy to report it’s been ordered! I hear that it ships later in the month and I am ready! Quarterly Co. came in a pretty close second, so I think they will be next on my list.
That’s it for now (I gotta get crafting), but what’s up for your Monday? Anything big going on this week?
