It’s time for another Thursday Thoughts! If you want to participate, but have no idea what a link-up is, you can check out my explanation of it here.

~This week has been sort of a wild one. B was suppose to be out of town all week, but he ended up getting back yesterday instead. The weather on the East Coast messed up his plans which was okay with me because it let him come to L’s swimming class last night and we all went out to dinner after. Speaking of L’s swimming class, he graduated to the next level (GO L) so we had to switch up our swim class days. B had never been to a lesson with L and was totally amazed at how much he’s learned since he started. So proud!

~My second (and final?) Pineapple Cocoa & Hearts painting arrived and I might just love it more than the first. It’s gorgeous. I am going to have B hang them on either side of the window in my office. I was thinking about trying to get another one and stacking them in a line on the wall, but I guess I forgot that the bottom half of my wall has paneling, so that’s not going to work! I’ll post a picture once it’s done! I had to sign for the package (and be over 21 to accept delivery) and the UPS lady was cracking up when I told her what it was. I think she was thinking it was something a tad more “adult” in nature. Umm, not quite!

The Pineapples

~My heart was shattered into a million pieces yesterday when I found out that Ryan Gosling and Eva Menedes were expecting a baby together. WTF. I wanted him to knock ME up! LOL! I guess it does give us one more thing in common (we both have kids), but still. I’m sad.

~In case you missed the announcement (I know I did), the July Birchbox Bookclub Book is The Bridesmaids: True Tales of Love, Envy, Loyalty… and Terrible Dresses by Eimear Lynch. I quite liked The Vacationeers which was their last pick, so I am going to get this one as well.

Birchbox July BookClub Pick

~Oh, and speaking of Birchbox, check out these goodies I got in the mail this week from their PR team.  OMG I was so excited.  A Birchbox mason jar mug?  I mean seriously.  Two great loves in one right there.  Why don’t they sell this?  Because I’d so buy it!  Anyway, it was for the #sunsavvy promotion they have going on right now.  You can check it out here, but basically you just snap a picture of how you are being safe in the sun and tag them with #Birchbox #Giveaway #SunSavvy and you could win some fun stuff from Supergoop!

Birchbox Goodies

~Okay, just as I said that I wasn’t loving this season of Big Brother, last night happened.  What a mess!  I love it.  I ran to get some spoilers to see what happened after the Power of Veto, but still can’t wait for tonight’s episode!

~I took everyone’s advice and ordered the Ugly-Where Chairs for the boys from UglySofa.  And I can confirm that they are totally Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere Chairs.  Tags and all.  SCORE!  I got both of them the Regular sized chair and and with shipping and the 20% off discount they had for the 4th of July, they were $135.77 total.  On Pottery Barn it would have been $261.98.  That’s like a free chair.

Boys in their chairs

~If you missed my Instagram about it yesterday, I was downright forced into getting these adorable little Jenna Hipp nail polish minis.  And I picked up these awesome travel cups for the boys.  For whatever reason my mom thought it was totally necessary for me to get more nail polish (even though I already have enough to paint my house with), but wondered why I needed more cups.  LOL!!!

The Costco Haul

~I’ll be back in a few with the ipsy and Birchbox reveals!  But for now, what’s happening with you today?  Expecting any subscription boxes in the mail?  Have any fun shopping hauls you want to share?  If you want to talk about Big Brother, I am cool with that too!
