This is kind of like “What I’m Loving Wednesday”, but I felt like posting it on Tuesday, so “Tops on Tuesday” it is. It’s not as catchy, but whatever. It’s my BIRTHDAY(*) and I’m going with it!
1. Walgreens. No one else seems to have the “yes To Coconuts” line yet, but you know who does? Walgreens! Well, they have a few items from it, but that’s more than most places! Plus, they have coupons to use on the stuff right there with it. You want me to make sure that I save money when I buy something I totally don’t need but would probably get even without the coupon? Don’t mind if I do.
2. Mason Jar Sippy Cups. WB and I ran into these yesterday and we knew we had to get them. They are so cute and WB picked the mint green one for himself and the silver one for L. I think L will be happy with his choices.
3. Designer Lines at Not So Designer Prices. I’m talking Nate Berkus for Target. Happy Chic by Jonathan Adler for JcPenney. You know, that kind of thing. I love when stores do this. Sometimes I want to pick up a nice set of sheets, apples and shampoo all in one trip.
4. Nice People. You know what’s tops? Nice people. L’s up-north and my uncle happens to know someone (everyone knows everyone up-north) who has a train set up in his backyard. Like remember that train from Silver Spoons (I loved that show)? Like that, except it’s well over a mile long. So they all went over there yesterday and hung out there and rode around on the train. And L loved it. Like loved it. We’ll be back!
5. Prize Candles. Umm, I am not sure if I think these are “Tops” or if I am flat out obsessed with them! My first candle had a ring with a yellow stone in it (worth $10) and my second one had a ring with a bright blue stone in it (worth $25) (you can see it on my Instagram feed to the right). Their website lets you check what they are worth using a code that comes in the ring package in the candle. Anyway, I have one more left to burn and I am hoping to get my prize tonight. I am a complete sucker for this kind of stuff. A complete sucker. Bella J ones are cool too, but they have charms instead of rings.
6. Getting Organized! I think I finally have my “products” organized and it feels amazing! I have them separated by type (skincare, makeup, hair, fragrance, tools, etc.) and I can now easily grab something when I need it.
7. Smart Kiddos. WB has not only figured out how to get into the fridge on his own, but he has also started to ask for things when we are at the grocery store now. His main requests are “elmo pouch” and “candy”. Two of the major food groups. And then when gets an elmo pouch he shoves it back at me and says “open”. He saves his talking for only the most important things ;).
That’s what’s tops for me right now! What about you? What have you been loving lately? You know what’s not tops today? The fact that I have to go get my license renewed (in person) and the fact that I saved this fun task until the last possible minute. Lesson learned!
Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday!!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you have a great day!
Thank you!
Wishing you a Happy Birthday! I’m sure William will help make the day special.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday! Reading your site is my favorite way to start my mornings!
Thank you!
I was wondering, how do you have your products organized? I love trying out new things with subscription boxes, but it’s starting to get to the point where I have to make a plan to sort everything out. lol Do you have each category in it’s own container or a bigger storage thing with compartments or what? Pictures and more details on your organization plan would be greatly appreciated. haha 🙂
Oh gosh, I would be embarrassed to post pictures! I bought a few of the drawer organizers – you know those plastic ones – and grouped the categories by drawer!
Oh, and happy birthday! I can’t believe I forgot to say it earlier! 🙂
Thank you!
Where did you find the mason jar sippy cups!!
Target!
Happy Birthday! I hope you’re not stuck at the DMV for too long today. I’ve heard it’s much faster/easier to go to AAA if there’s one near you.
Love the mason jars with straws. I bought some at Walmart after xmas, and just saw more at Target the other day. I resisted buying more though…. For now.
I had one of those candles too! I’m not really a candle burner, but I burned that thing every night until I got my ring! It was really pretty! I forget which brand candle I had, but it didn’t tell you what your ring was worth. I think mine was in the 30-40 dollar range maybe? I have seen similar ones on jewelry sites for around that anyway.
We can only go to the Secretary of State here in MI. I wish I could go somewhere else!
Happy Birthday, love those mason jars.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog!!!
Thank you! And Thank you!
Happy Birthday!! I hope its fantastic!
Those collections for Target and JcPenney have me hooked! I NEED the Johnathan Adler comforter set.
Thank you!
The picture of WB on the chair is so adorable. Every time I see pictures of your children they are always so happy. They always put a smile on my face. And I was at Target last night, and I did not see those cups. Bummer!
THanks!
I found just a few of those cups. On one of the end caps!
I was going to ask you where you found those Mason Jar Sippy Cups… they are adorable. My cousin is thinking of them as wedding favors. 🙂
How much was one?
Ahh, I don’t even know. I feel like maybe $3??
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
I hope Nate Berkus can finally have a successful line. Linens N Things bombed even before they closed. HSN didn’t work, and despite Oprah’s backing, his show only lasted a year. Personally, I find his products to be lacking in quality, but you never know what the public will love.
I didn’t even know that he did anything with Linens N Things. I need to google that!
Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
Thank you!
They have the aladdin mason jar cups at Costco! I got 3 colored ones plus extra straws on sale for $14.99! Happy Birthday btw!
Thank you! I love those Costco sets! I didn’t know they were on sale though!
Sure! They are in my area (NM). Usually $20 but on sale for $15. They are really fun straws too!
Yes! I think they are normally $19.99 or so? I have bought a bunch of sets. Don’t ask me why since I am the only one that uses them, but I can’t resist!
Girl, me too! My hands just can’t resist the urge to put another set in my cart!
Happy Birthday!!! So exciting a day 🙂
C is so funny and can get about anything he wants. He is also the one who when he wakes up comes downstairs and gets his Ipad off the charger and just lays on the couch chilling until someone else comes down. I have taken to making him a drink at night and putting it on his shelf in the fridge so he can help himself. LOL I’m normally upstairs but getting ready but I love that he just does his own thing. On the otherside N can not walk past my door without coming in to make sure I’m up too. 🙁 He is however my night owl so he rarely wakes up before me.
That is so funny. He is just like L!
Happy Birthday! And congrats on all the organization. I always mean to sit down and focus on that and it just gets away from me. What did you use to swatch your Julep nail polish? A q-tip? I need to start organizing ans well and am always looking for tips!
No I just used the brush that’s in the polish. If you pull straight up the cap comes off and leaves you with a smaller inner cap that has the brush attached.
Awesome! Thanks! 😀
Happy birthday!!! I’ve learned that if you arrive at Secretary of State 20 minutes before they close they will rush everyone through so they could get out of there. Good luck
I learned today (after I went of course) that you can check in online before you go to get a number so your wait is less when you get there!!! Why didn’t I know this??
OMG i had no idea!!! I’ll have to remember that. Thx!!
Someone once had to explain it to me too. I had no idea.
Happy Birthday Jennifer!! Enjoy your day with your little man! OMG stop finding those mason jars! I have a small kitchen and have no storage for them (I have 6 from Costco that I may put in the trailer)
I’m loving 12 days of vacation, I only slept for two hours but I’ll sleep tonight~!
OMG I know. It’s bad!
Happy birthday! Have a lovely day!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday. Hope the wait isn’t too bad at the DMV. I was at Target yesterday and didn’t see the mugs. I think my area misses a lot of the fun stuff. They are cute.
Thank you! It wasn’t too bad of a wait!
Yay, happy bday to you!!! I can’t believe you have to go renew your license today!! But that is better than having to take the driver’s test again. Ugh. I love/need those mason jar sippies and I am totally checking our Walgreen’s for the YesTo Coconut stuff! 🙂 Btw, the graphic is totally cute and not poorly done at all! Hope your day is awesome and box-filled!!
Oh it’s not a good graphic. LOL!
I went earlier. It only took 35 minutes. Not too bad. WB was really good so it was fine. I *think* you have to renew in person every 8 years here??
Happy Birthday!! Wishing you all the best!! Hope you had a great day today! =)
Thanks!
Love the candles. Are the rings adjustable?
They are not adjustable.
Happy Birthday! Hope WB got u a super nice gift at the mall 😉
Thanks!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!! Hope you celebrated with some Starbucks 🙂
Thank you.
UM HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I was like, why does this thing have 73 comments?! 🙂 I just outfitted myself with a totally new Happy Chic bed. Purple and gray. I LOVE IT. Seriously. I had a 40%off coupon and it was during the big ebates sale so i got everything. like duvet AND quilt and all the pillows, everything. I also finally have a bedskirt! And i bought an actual headboard (from Costco) and my life is complete. My kids crystal-lighted one of the shams but i oxied it out.
But seriously, happy birthday! Just came by because I was like ohhhhh I haven’t talked to jennifer in like 2 days! I know you will have a great birthday party when your husband comes back! 8 days for me, counting every one of them!
Ha!!! Thank you!!!!
OMG I need to watch for that 40% off / ebates deal again!
If you love prize candle you should check out some of the smaller businesses that do the same thing. I’m currently hooked on the ones that guarantee real sterling silver and above jewelry with retail value $50 and above. I currently have a list of about 10 companies I’m trying and I’m working my way through lol. My current faves are Southern Belles Gems and Smells, ScenSei, Scarlet Raine, and I’m waiting on Starlit Candles and Fire Bling Candles to get to me 🙂 They all have FB pages too, so you can see the bling people have gotten.
I will check them all out! Awesome!! Thank you.
Happy Birthday!! I hope it was great!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday! I hope it has been a great one!
Thank you!
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Thank you!
