~Happy Monday!  As you know we are off on an adventure and are having a great time.  The kiddos have been falling asleep fast and with smiles on their faces.  I am so impressed with how L has been swimming in the pool too.  He can do a flip under water!  I was impressed.  I think WB would prefer to get a little more sleep (it’s kind of impossible to sleep as much as WB, but he’s having fun too!

Nighttime pool fun.

~I am expecting an incredible amount of subscription boxes this week. OMG, it’s going to be crazy. And fun. I should be getting Austin Lloyd, Beauty Box 5Birchbox, Citrus Lane, Dottiebox Mini, Founded 1776Googaro, Hatcheryipsy, Kelly Rowland Fancy BoxLove With Food, PetBoxPopSugar (which is on the longest journey to me ever) and Sample Society for sure.  And I am sure there are quite a few I am forgetting.  I love weeks like this and am going to be super busy when I get back in town.  Can’t wait!

~Guess what I got yesterday?  A Disney Grab Bag!  Eeek!  We happened to take a wrong turn and ended up RIGHT at Downtown Disney.  Of course I yelled “LETS STOP AND GET GRAB BAGS” so we did.  They are $11.95 each and are sold at a store called “Marketplace Fun Finds” right in the middle of Downtown Disney.  So anyway, we got three (my mom got one and then I got one for L and one for me) and were all thrilled with them!  Mine had a black & white Goofy, a Minnie Mouse bracelet, Magnet Hooks and a pen.  L’s had a black and white Donald, a Minnie Mouse Bracelet, a light-up feather pen and a regular pen.  I didn’t get a picture of my moms, but it had the same as L’s, except instead of the feather pen it had a magnet clip thing.  We were all very pleased and plan on going back for a few more.  LOL.  The cashier was telling us that they contain different stuff every few days.  I will certainly try and verify if that is true!

~Did anyone watch Real Housewives last night?  I thought it was great (I stayed up late just so I could watch) and didn’t even mind that Caroline and Jacqueline. It’s different, but not worse. I do like Dina a lot and would really love to know what went down between them all. There must be something more to that fight.

~If you missed it over the weekend I am giving away a Fall Nina Garcia Quarterly Co. box! Just head over here and get yourself entered.  I’ll have winners picked / posted for a few of the giveaways that have ended recently (FabFitFun and the Just for Fun Friday ones) in a few days.

~Has anyone checked the Target clearance today? Is it 90% off yet?  Or still 70%? I went on Friday and my Target was cleared out.  Well, cleared out of everything good!  But I would love to hear what you scored.

 What’s up for your Monday? Any big plans this week?  And of course, what subscription boxes are you expecting?

    Our target is only at 30% so I resisted grabbing an extra sophie. Going to wait and see. I did however score a sand and water table for $28! They had 20% off little tykes and then price matched walmart and then the red card 5%. It was originally 54.99!! I was very proud of myself. LOL

    1. Jennifer

      That is a deal!!!

  2. Lucy

    If you have time here in Orlando, check out the Super Targets 🙂 They’re bigger than what I was used to in LA. Hopefully you missed out on the power outage on the Monorail yesterday?

    1. Jennifer

      We weren’t on there during the monorail. The kids would have loved that though.

      I’ve been wanting to go to super target here but oddly no one else wants too!!! Lol.

  3. lia

    Haha! Of COURSE you got mystery bags. That is awesome and it looks like a pretty good value.

    I’m really looking forward to your review of Founded 1776. I’ve been curious about that one.

    1. Jennifer

      Of course I did! You know I needed it!!!

  4. Jenny

    EEhhh Grab Bags!!!! Those are so fun. I really need to get me some more of them 😉
    I was at a different Target this morning and it was still 50% I mean really so many people are posting that they are at 70% and mine are still 50%. I even scanned some things to make sure. We did grab a couple things at 50% the other day at a different Target but I’d love to get some more stuff with a little higher percentage.
    I’m having a huge box week this week too. Actually I think all the boxes I get are coming this week. LOL Crazy but so much fun.
    Have a great rest of your trip.

    1. Jennifer

      So much fun! I love when we get tons of boxes!

      OMG I’m obsessed with those grab bags! They are awesome!

  5. Jill

    RHONJ is my favorite of the franchise! I miss Caroline and Jacqueline (Kathy too) but I’m glad that Caroline is getting her own show. Can’t wait to watch that one!

    1. Jennifer

      Me either! It’s just one more show to watch.

  6. Crstina

    We are going to Disneyland next month.. I wonder if they have the grab bags? If so, I am getting one, or two 🙂
    I am expecting my Ipsy glam bag today, and birchbox and Citrus Lane this week as well. Can’t wait!

    1. Jennifer

      Hmm I’m not sure??? I bet you could google and see??

  7. Gina Ortiz

    Glad you are having a great time with your boys! You have me best on the boxes. I am waiting for my Birchbox, Love with Food, and UrthBox. I also know the Conscious box and Ipsy should be on the way, I have no shipping info on these yet. There’s a Living Social deal for Hatchery…I’m on the fence!

  8. Jessica

    We try to go to WDW every 2 years . What I used to do is buy one (or 2) of the grab bags, and then take it back home to open when you are at home and having the “I miss WDW ” blues. lol

    1. Jennifer

      That is a great ice! I am headed back for a few more grab bags today 😉

    RHONJ is my favorite. Grab bags look like a lot of fun. I don’t think there are boxes coming this week. Question about Fancy. Do you know if they ship their boxes on time? The Nicky Hilton box still reads payment received although the description says it should ship on the 10th. Are they slow at updating their system and the box is coming? Or is this a box that will show up whenever they decide to ship it? I’m soooo curious about the box.

    1. Jennifer

      It all depends with Fancy. I don’t pay too much attention to their ship dates. They’ll ship it when they are ready! LOL. The box isn’t on it’s way. You’d get a notice when it ships.

  10. Chelsea

    I am so happy that you and your family are having a good time! Seeing their smiling faces brightens my day. GOOD JOB!

    1. Jennifer

      Thank you!

    I didn’t know they had mystery bags at Disney!! I’m dying to run the Wine and Dine Half Marathon there though, so once I round up some friends to go, Mystery bags for all!

    1. Jennifer

      You must! They are so fun!

  12. Bethany

    Yay for Disney and grab bags!!! Seems like you guys are having a blast. (Despite this insane heat/humidity, amirite?) How fun to come home to piles of boxes!!! Sometimes when I’m home I consider skipping checking the mail for a day or two in hopes things will pile up, but then I end up building up anticipation and only have bills or something. Enjoy the rest of your time here!!!!

    1. Jennifer

      This heat is wild! It’s like walking out into an oven. LOL!

      My pile of boxes is going to be crazy. I am cracking up just thinking about it.

  13. Crstina

    This is kind of random, but I just got my shipping notification yesterday from Citrus Lane, and I checked the tracking and it’s already at my local post office and it will be coming today. That was fast! But I wonder why I got the shipping notification so late? Anyways, yay!!

    1. Jennifer

      I just got a CL ship notification today on one of my boxes! It won’t be here for at least a week though. It always takes forever for me.

      1. Crstina

        I live about 3 hours from where they ship, so I usually get mine really quick.
