You know the drill, I am stealing Jen’s Sunday Sentiments button and idea and making it mine tonight.
~It’s Superbowl Sunday! We ran out earlier today to pick up some supplies for the big game and it seems as though everyone else did as well. That place was a zoo! We are having chips and guacamole, ribs, bacon & cheese sliders, homemade potato chips, meats & cheeses and a few different dips. Umm, yeah and we aren’t even having a party! No matter, we’re going to have a good time! I even scooped up some girly Superbowl booze for me! I really don’t care who wins, but if I could win my Superbowl Squares, I would be a happy girl.
~I have no idea how much snow we got yesterday (maybe 6 or 7 inches?), but L is loving it. I am too. It’s just so pretty to drive around in. Don’t get my wrong, our street is a disaster and we got stuck this morning, but it’s gorgeous. And I love seeing all the kiddos in the yards building their snowmen!
~I didn’t do a new Subscription Box Update today because, well, there really aren’t a ton of new ones to add. I know that Mean Duffle and Furball Box have closed their doors (I’d link you to their sites, but they are gone too) and The Fetch Box isn’t accepting any new customers at this time so we will see what happens there. I am still figuring out what to do about the boxes on the Subscription Box List that are closed / out of business. Some people say leave, some people say move to a separate section. I also have mixed feelings on it, so that’s on hold for now.
~OMG wait, I do have some subscription box news for you! Fancy Box is coming out with an Isaac Mizrahi Fancy Box (just search for Isaac and it will come up). Seriously. I am all over that you wouldn’t believe. I signed up on the website to new alerted when it’s for sale, so I will certainly report as soon as I know. It also looks like the Pink Fancy Box is gone. Not sure what happened to that one, but hopefully someone who subscribed would know!
~Has anyone been hitting up all these sales happening lately? First Bath & Body Works, then the Skip Hop stuff at Target and today and I snagged a North Face winter jacket for L for next year from Nordies. If I can find an amazing sale on pots and pans next I am going to be over the moon!
~MemeBox #7 is now available and while I want to nab another one, my Box #5 hasn’t shipped yet and won’t for a few weeks so I need to hold off! If you have gotten a MemeBox (it’s a Korean Beauty Box) send me a picture because I am dying to see more pictures of them.
~I am not sure if I will do a post on it or not, but I have a few February goals for myself. I want to start shopping local more, work HARDER at drinking more water (it was one of my January goals too that I didn’t do so hot at) and read Gone Girl. Nothing crazy ambitious, so I can’t fail too miserably! Do you have anything goals or things you’d like to work on this month? Oh, also getting ready for a M2M sale is on my list too. There is one at L’s school in March and I am buying a table. SO excited to get rid of some of this stuff.
That’s about it from here tonight! Are you watching the game tonight? Who are you routing for? Or are you just in it for the commercials?
Since N will finally be going back to school tomorrow we stayed home too. We did apps for dinner potato skins, mozzarella sticks, shrimp cocktail and the boys warmed up some pizza. We ate at the coffee table with they thought was AWESOME. LOL
I’m all over that Fancy Box. When it goes live I may have to sign up.
So now I need to go to Nordies and Target tomorrow. Anywhere else I need to hit up? 😉
HA! Not that I know of. But if you figure out somewhere else, do let me know! One of the fabulous girls at Nordstrom worked hard to locate that coat for me in L’s size next year. They have the best customer service. They so went out of their way for me!
My daughter recieved the Fetch Box in January, it was great. Sadly we recieved an email that they are closing – no more boxes!
Boo ;(
We are having a Super Bowl party at my house, Wings, pizza dip, chips and queso, smoked sausage, and veggies. All I really care about is the food don’t really care who wins. Lol
LOL! Sounds like me!
Ahhhh my Fancy Box indecision just got a whole lot worse!! We are watching the Super Bowl now, a couple of hours behind.. we DVRed it and already know the final score.. So glad you got your snow! Stay safe up there!
OMG I know right? I am so excited for that box!
Man, I feel like Memebox is cranking out these boxes. I plan on buying one with my tax refund…by the time that hits it might be box #20.
Ha!! I know right? Or you’ll get Box 15a or something!
Wow so many boxes out of business! I just take them off my list when they close but it’s a great idea to a have a “defunct boxes” list so people know. Also another update for you… Cycleface closed a couple months ago. They were only operating for 6 months or so. I’m going to go run through my list now and make sure they are all still operating! lol
Yeah I feel like I should keep a record somewhere so people aren’t like oh, what happened to XX box. I didn’t know that about Cycleface (at least I don’t think I did). It’s been a rough start to the new year!
I was definitely in it for the commercials! I’m not a huge football fan, baseball is more my thing. But I will say that the Microsoft Empowering commercial and the Budweiser best buds commercial were my two favs! Oh, and of course Bruno.
But I will say that the game was BORING. I know I’m not a huge football pro, but I do know when the game is boring!
Agreed!
I can’t wait for the new Isaac Mizrahi Fancy Box! I hope the first box isn’t a jumbled mess like the JLH one.
I like your idea of putting all of the out of businees boxes on a separate list. That way if they do begin running again, you’d sill have the old boxes to refer back to.
My first JLH box was good I think? It wasn’t like the last one we just got I know that.
Yeah, I for sure want to leave them up somehow..
There is an App to help remind you to drink water. It’s called WaterIn . I have just downloaded a couple of days ago but I haven’t used it yet.
Ohh, I need to download!
My goals are staying away from diet coke/diet pepsi when I’m at work, and at home. Those are the times I drink the most. But if we go out, or I’m somewhere (like my folks house, kids activities etc) then I’ll let myself have one.
Also to shop less. Between my husband and I we went to the store 17 times in January. And every trip ends up having extra money spent on stupid stuff! So I want to cut that back to twice a week. Means we have to be better about planning ahead!
Totally agree. I need to plan ahead better on shopping trips!
I use the iDrated iPhone app to remind me about water.
Ohhh…I currently do not get a Fancy Box, but I may consider the Mizrahi one.
I want that to launch like now!
iDrated! How clever!
