Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

Today I’m smiling because:

~It’s summer vacation!!!! WB wasn’t even the one who went to school and he slept in until 10am yesterday. I love it!

~L went to Greenfield Village yesterday with his Nana and Papa and had the best time! I see many trips there for him this summer!

So fun!
So fun!

~I got all the recalls (I think I had about 6 or so) on my car fixed this week. That’s one thing checked off the summer “To Do” list!

~I ordered my 18 month Erin Condren planner last night! I opted for the Turquoise Gold Foil and then did an extra cover with the “Scales” design with Kelly Green and White. I cannot wait to see how they look in person!

~B got picked to run in the annual Mackinac Bridge Labor Day Run again! He thought it was really cool last year so he’s excited to run it again. It’s a lottery and they only pick 500 people to run it, so he got lucky getting picked two years in a row.

~Our new internet is being installed today! Fingers crossed I can watch Orange is the New Black without it stopping 8 million times tonight!

~When these two smile, I smile!  We’ll all miss B for the next few weeks, but we are planning lots of fun activities to make the time go faster!

Happy Boys

~L is OMGSOEXCITED about getting a home phone line today. He’s been texting (his texts are hysterical by the way) and is equally excited about getting a home phone line so he can make his very important calls ;).

~Ashley over at Raising Our Little DevilPups sent me a Red Velvet Cupcake Chapstick in the mail this week. I looked everywhere for it and couldn’t find it around here so she was kind enough to surprise me with one! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Ahhhh, I love it!!!
Ahhhh, I love it!!!

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

    I’ve been reading your blog for the past few months and had to post how did I miss Red Velvet chapstick??? I didn’t know it existed. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I went to Greenfield Village when I was in kindergarten. Enjoy your summer break.

    1. Jennifer

      I missed it when it was out as well! They have a cake batter too which I was able to find and is fabulous!

    I’m so impressed with how many photos you can get of your boys together. LOL Mine will rarely stop what they are doing for a pic and never will they stop together.
    N would love a water area like that. I need to see if we have one around here. I know we have some splash pads but that’s about all I know of. Hmmm C could care less since he isn’t the fish that N is but he would have fun too I think.

      OMG I did DAD pictures today. It was pure torture. WB wasn’t having it at all. At all.

    Kelly Green is going to look wonderful! I’m thinking black + white scales and turquoise font. I plan to use mine mostly at work — I’m an assistant and need to keep track of a ton of executives’ stuff. 🙂 I tried someone else’s referral code last night & still didn’t get a coupon — so it’s not an issue with your code.

    Did you opt for any add-ons? I’m thinking the pen holder — I found a girl who makes bands in her Etsy shop, too, in different patterns.

    Happy summer vacation! Glad you got your car fixed. My first new car that I bought 2.5 years ago had to go into the shop 16 times until they finally bought it back as a lemon. I went with a different brand and haven’t had any issues for 6 months. Crossing fingers because that first car was horrible — I’m not jinxed!! 🙂

      I did a set of gold bands and a few of the new clip ins. I have some pen holders I haven’t used yet, so I am good on those! The site still shows that the person should get a code. I wonder what’s up. Try “WELCOME10”??? That could work!

      16 times! That is crazy! I think all these

    I’ve been eyeing the Erin Condren planner for over a year and finally broke down on release day and ordered one. I used your referral code and it worked for me.

    Do you think a pen holder is a necessary add-on? Is there any other add ons that you think are “must haves” and if so, what?

    1. Jennifer

      I don’t know that the pen holder is a must have. I usually get some extra stickers and the matching notepads that stick in the back of the planners!

    That water play area looks fantastic!

    Our Love With Food box came today! Unfortunately, my son is with his dad this weekend, so I have to wait until Sunday night to open it. Doh. I cheated though, and peeked at an unboxing video and it looks yummy.

    1. Jennifer

      You had to look!

    I never cease to be amazed how adorable your boys are!! And I’m going to have to do some searching for that red velvet chapstick! Your new EC planner is so cute!! I need to be better about actually using mine.. Ugh.

    1. Jennifer

      I need to get better about using it too!
