Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

Today I’m smiling because:

~MY SPARTANS!!  Ahhh, they won last night and that game was amazing.  I believe watching Michigan State basketball and football games has shaved a few years off my life, but I love every second of it!

YES!
YES!

~I am *this* close to being all caught up on my subscription box reviews! Woot woot!!

~WB and I went to TJ Maxx yesterday morning and left with an amazing haul for only $30. Unlike most TJ Maxx (or Marshalls) stores I have been to, this one was neat, organized, spacious and best of all, empty. And the deals! I mean seriously, I bought these same flip-flops for L last year from Nordstrom for full price. These were $4.99. And Boon zippy cups for $4?  Loves it. I think we have found a new morning activity!!

The Haul
The Haul

~My sister-in-law saw a picture of that washi tape tube from Marshalls / TJ Maxx and has decided she needs them as well, so she’s going to a few stores near her to look and I am going to a few near me.  Divide and conquer. That washi will be ours.

~L’s class won a piñata party for their amazing participation in reading month!  He’s so excited!

~Some people are reporting that the PopSugar Must Have Resort Box can be tracked by reference!  Mine isn’t showing up yet, but it’s only a matter of time.  FYI: It weighs 1.7lbs. SO light!

~Giving WB a bath always makes me smile.  He’s a total water baby and loves splashing around in the tub.  And hopefully he has enough toys in there ;).

He always has a good time!
He always has a good time!

~I got our mailbox in a semi-upright position and I no longer fear it tipping over every two seconds.

That’s it from here!  What’s got you smiling today?

    WB is making me smile! E loves the tub too and every time I see a bathroom shot and see your whale spout cover I smile because we have the same one!

    Have to get those boon cups! Will check mine out this morning :).

    1. Jennifer

      They were in the clearance section of the kids toys. I could not believe it! I was so excited to find them.

      And I love that whale cover! It’s the best one I have had.

    I seen the same thing about PSMH on MUT yesterday….I thought oh not good…not at all good. I sure hope they have some nice stuff in there. Or it will hit eBay fast.
    Love WB and the bath my grand baby loves the baby and has to have toys everywhere…and water everywhere.

    1. Jennifer

      He gets the water everywhere. It’s like a tidal wave hit.

    Oh my goodness your game last night had me on edge. We didn’t turn it on until about 5 min left when M got home but WOW just WOW it was an intense ending.
    Pinata party so fun. Ns class won two popcicle parties, a picnic lunch and a new center for their boosterthon pledges. They did one popcicle party already but are waiting till they go back and have warm weather for the other one and the picnic lunch. It was all he talked about the other day when he got home. LOL

    1. Jennifer

      The last 5 minutes was the best part. It was crazy. I bet a picnic lunch one would be a huge hit. I want to win a party like that!

    Not smiling today 🙁 been a Cavaliers fan since birth…but they had a great season & lost to an impressive team.

    1. Jennifer

      It was an amazing game. Such a battle.

    Morning! My Tracking for the Popsugar box says that the weight is 3.8 pounds. Hope this helps.

    1. Jennifer

      I like the sounds of this better than the 1.7 I’d heard?

  6. Sophie

    Today I’m totally smiling because my bracket is currently tied for first! What?? How did that even happen!? I’m pretty sure it’s going to go downhill from here (I had Louisville going to the championship, ugh) so I’ll relish this moment…and, you know, maybe take a couple screen shots of the group rankings. I may need you to create a “Sunday Sadness” section for me tomorrow…

    1. Jennifer

      Awesome!!! Screenshot that for sure!

  7. Mrs. L

    Ugh, the resort box is only 1.7 pounds? A scarf? Thin paperback trash novel? Small sample sizes of lots of goodies? A really delicate necklace? Hmmmmm.

    1. Jennifer

      Someone else said theirs was 3.8lbs, so who knows!!!

      1. Mrs. L

        Uh oh, folks getting different items? I’m going for a 3.8 pound box of awesome!

        1. Jennifer

          I don’t know? Or it was a weird scale?

  8. Alexia561

    Not smiling today, as all of my teams have been eliminated. 🙁

    1. Jennifer

      BOO!!

    I am dying to know what’s in the PS Resort box! I’ve tried tracking mine by reference every day this week… nothing yet. Also, I think I am going to Marshall’s or TJ Maxx today because you’ve inspired me. I will let you know if I find any washi!

    1. Jennifer

      Yes, report back. I went to “a few” more stores today and found a few more tubes. But I know there are more to be had!

  10. alyssa

    When I tracked my resort box by reference it said 1.7lbs but only the label had been printed. I’m hoping this is a fluke and that the 3.8 is the right weight for the box since my fancy mystery box was 1.6 and was the same as your second mystery box.

    1. Jennifer

      It seems like that is super light!

  11. Carla

    1.7lbs? Ugh! Well maybe it is a pair of sunglasses and a voucher for a rounder up ticket to anywhere tropical!

    1. Jennifer

      I’d be down for that.

  12. victoria

    What bath toys are his favorite? B has been using the same bath cups, the foam things that stick to the bath and some turtle toys I found at Target, oh a submarine thing I found at Target. None she is impressed with anymore now that she is 1. I don’t know what are “good” bath toys? They all seem the same (or close) to me.

    1. Jennifer

      Honestly we play with a lot of non bath toys in the bathtub. We have some green toys cars in there. Matchbox cars and just regular old cups. All big hits. The boon bubbles are a bit hit too.

  13. Amanda

    TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are my favorite places to shop! Love it there.

    1. Jennifer

      What’s been your best finds??

  14. Chelsea

    My daughter is a water baby as well…her basket of bathtoys is overflowing but I want to try those bubble toys you have there…they look like awesome fun. My daughter loves bath crayons and will spend an hour just drawing and drawing…she also likes to have non-bath items in the tub and sometimes insists on wearing her straw-hat from the dollar bin at Target. Too cute.

    1. Jennifer

      They are fun! He has been working to get them stacked as high as he can lately. Sometimes he spends so much time in there I have to run the warm water again because it gets cold!
