Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

Today I’m smiling because:

~We got a fresh layer of snow around here and ahhh, things are gorgeous again! The snow was looking gross but not anymore. The boys played outside yesterday and loved every second of that fresh snow.

~My Socialbliss Style Box is on it’s way! I am dying to see what is in that thing. Hurry up and get here!

~I sent out my first ever RAK’s (Random Act of Kindness) for the Erin Condren Facebook Group I am in (there is a FB group for everything)! SO fun!!!

R.A.K.!

~It’s been easier than I’d expected to resize my pictures before uploading them here! Yeah, I wasn’t resizing these huge files like I should have been. #naughty

~Speaking of Erin Condren, I got a case for my planner, washi and pens. I know, I know, I’m a dork. But it makes me smile ;).

It's actually a make-up bag.

~B and L both have a three day weekend (MLK Day).  I love having all my boys home!

~The January subscription boxes have been arriving in full force and I love it.  It was a slow start to the new year, but that’s all over now.

~This.  I need this.  Seriously.  I saw this on my FB feed the other day and couldn’t stop laughing!

Need.
Need.

~Teen Mom 2 (Season 5) premiers next week!!   Could I be any more excited about this?  I think not.

~I don’t know if this is reason to smile, but I started playing candy crush again yesterday. It’s just as annoying / fun as I remembered.

That’s it from here!  What’s got you smiling today?  Any big plans for the weekend?

    Love that planner bag!! Where did you find that I’ve been trying to find a good way to store mg planner pens washi tape and it’s all over my purse!!

      1. Tiffany

        I should of known!! I have the smaller make up bag in an orange print from the same line that I have in my purse as an organizer!! But I need the big one!! Too bad all targets within 100 miles are sold out and sold out online

        1. Jennifer

          Boo!!!!

    The snow looks so nice. I drove 3 hrs on Christmas to the middle of boondock nowhere in the mountains to see snow and there was a bit of ice and that was it. It is complete Summer weather in California, blazing hot and a drought in full effect. It’s lovely weather but we need rain…bad.

    1. Jennifer

      I heard that!! That must be scary!

  3. Bethany

    Okay, I’ve been thinking I needed a bag for my planner! Brilliant. That bracelet cracks me up. Sooo jealous you got snow. Ours is mostly melted, just enough there to look dirty. Can’t wait to see what Socialbliss is like!!! I convinced my husband to let me try it, but I don’t have a shipping email yet, so maybe I didn’t make it in time for this month’s. Either way, this is my first *new* subscription, so it’s fun!

      I think it must be my review box?? I bought one and then they asked if I wanted to the review one. I don’t think I got a shipping notification on the one I bought?

    Love the bag idea ……….bcos Iam a crafty person and have more supplies in house than make up .So colorful too but looks pricey to me for $29

    1. Jennifer

      I know some people used different ones too! But totally check the makeup bags out. I never would have thought to look there!

  5. Bobbi

    Love the idea of the bag! Needed to go to Target anyways (I always need to go to target for something…) and now I have another thing to add to my list! Thanks for the awesome idea!

    1. Jennifer

      I borrowed the idea too, but it is perfect for the planner and tape and all that!

  6. Ann

    Did you get a shipping email for your Socialbliss Style Box? I signed up for that too and haven’t received any notification yet. I’m also excited about the premiere of Teen Mom 2!

    1. Jennifer

      You know it might just be the one I am getting to review that shipped? I bought one too after the poll and that hasn’t shipped (that I know of)!

    I randomly started Candy Crush again too. J kept laughing at me while I was playing the Dreamworld levels because I’d start raging about the silly owl.

    1. Jennifer

      That game is just so addicting.

    Someone beat me to it! I was going to ask you where you got the case for your planner. I have mine in a ziplock bag since I carry it back and forth and am trying to keep it from getting tattered to early in the year! You solution is so much more classy…guess I’ll be adding a trip to Target to my errand run this afternoon! Thank you!

    1. Jennifer

      It’s totally not my own idea! Someone in the Erin Condren group got one and we all loved it!

    That is a great use of a makeup bag. So great. Mine is just sitting on my desk but a bag would be good.
    I totally don’t resize my photos. LOL Guess I should look into that too. 😉
    No snow here but it is cold. They say we have a chance for flurries on Wed and I have pictures scheduled so we (the photographer and I) are both hoping for some. She said she could get some great photos with them and we would just run out to take them. Still trying to decide what we are going to wear for the pictures though. That is the hardest part of family photos.

    1. Jennifer

      Maybe blogger automatically resizes? Maybe not though.

      That is totally the hardest part of pictures. It stresses me out!

    I finally broke down & ordered an EC planner! I can not wait for it to get here. I have seen so many people that have had problems with their orders so I just hope it is right!!

    1. Jennifer

      If not though, you could sell the error one! So many people do! Which one did you get?

      1. Suzanne

        I got the Inspire one with the quote – Sometimes we’re all too quick to count down the days that we forget to make the days count. I requested a different name style & color at the bottom. Hope they make the change (crossing fingers)!

        1. Jennifer

          I can’t wait to see it!!

  11. Lauren

    That is so funny, just bought that SAME bag from Target to use for my cross stitching gear! It’s so awesome! Great minds!

    1. Jennifer

      So funny! So much great stuff in the makeup bag aisle!

    HI Guys Just curious but has anyone noticed that the birchboxes are kind of an all or nothing sort of thing with them??? I have gotten them for about 6 months now, and have noticed they are either really good and interesting.. or straight up chintzy.. It makes me wonder if they let a bunch of grade school kids put them together.. and if they do.. I have a whole class that would volunteer to do it for them for free…

    Anyhow, on a rant…;o)…. It isn;t that I don’t like Birchbox I just wish they would find a way to be a bit more consistent, or atleast send me something I like.. ie I said in my profile I don’t eat sweets and they keep sending me chocolate ( kind of like you with the tea …lol)

      LOL! I don’t know if you can specify with the “lifestyle extras” they send? I would love to see how their system determines who gets what boxes. There is an article floating around somewhere about to how to tweak your profile to get boxes with an amazing value. I can’t remember where it was posted, but if I find it I will let you know.
