Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

Today I’m smiling because:

~It’s the weekend and we are off to have some fun!

Yesterday's Fun!
Yesterday’s Fun!

~Michigan State won their first game last night. Sure they were “suppose” to win it, but you just never know. GO GREEN!

~B came to the Dollar Tree with me the other night and declared it to be full of “junk” as we walked in the door.  A few minutes later he was asking me if everything was REALLY only $1.  Umm, yes.  He was amazed you could buy a 2-pack of those eco-friendly light bulbs for only $1 and bought like a dozen.  LOL.  I think we have a new DT fan in the house.

~Not only did I find the washi tape I have been hunting for at Marshalls and Home Goods yesterday, I also scored a Glam Glow for 50% off! I had been hearing of people finding it and was SO excited when I found it myself. SCORE!

~I got all my pictures cleaned off my laptop!

~B is loving the beef jerky that came in his Carnivore Club box this month.

~Pick Your Plum is having a Mystery Box sale this morning and I am READY. No idea what’s in them or how much they are, but you better bet I am going to try and snatch one up when they go on sale (9am EST).

~My PopSugar Fall Box is making its way across the country to me.

~L’s new school looks to be fantastic and I cannot wait for him to get back into the swing of things next week.

~One of our local new stations is opening a newsroom downtown and you’ll be able to see it from the street.  For whatever reason I find this very exciting and hope a few of the other stations follow suit and move downtown as well!

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

    does l have school of choice, why new school, love the washis!!!

    1. Jennifer

      The new one is closer to is. Yes we have school of choice.

    Enjoy your weekend! I’m glad that you like L’s school. It makes things much easier when you know he is in a good school. Popsugar is making its slow trek across the country to me. It will take 2 weeks to arrive which will be 9/10. I really do need to drive the half hour to TJ Maxx. I almost bought the Plum box and then decided it was a little more than what I want to spend. It looks like Quarterly MSA and Arianna Huffington are going to bill next week. I’m hoping that the Ariana Huffington will be good. She must have amazing connections.

      I can’t wait to see what the Ariana huffington box has! Report as soon as you get it!

    Be sure to read the extensive instructions on what to do with those bulbs if they break and how to properly recycle them. They’re really quite dangerous, and the uv rays are bad for the eyes (cumulative exposure help cataract development). I wish my stores carried the washi tape.

  4. Kelsey

    OMG I am so excited for the Fall Style boxes! They’re only 2.8 lbs, is it sad I was kind of bummed that it’s pretty light? I hope mine gets here ASAP…it originated in Gilroy, CA which is less than 3 hours north of me. If only they could hold it and I will go get it, if that would make it quicker!!

    1. Jennifer

      I am so curious to see what it is!

  5. Beth

    Have you notified the winner for the Fall giveaway yet?! Please say no so I can still have some hope! Haha I want to win so bad!

    1. Jennifer

      I have! And she responded this morning!

    I want to see some of your washi tape projects. I see things on pinterest and think of you also I forward things to your poor mom on projects that you both might do. I buy enough stuff from the Target $1 area so its a good thing the Dollar Tree isn’t close. I also got a couple Graze boxes that have been really yummy.

    1. Jennifer

      I don’t really do any washi tape projects! I just decorate my planner with it.

    50% off Glam Glow? That’s great. I saw it at TJ’s, but it was NOT 50 % off — I think it was $39.95, which is still a good price. It was weird because it was in

    1. Jay

      some serious security packaging.

    2. Jennifer

      You are totally right. I thought the price was $80/box, but it’s $70, so it was like 40% off??

      1. Krista

        I’ve found the Glam Glow at 2 different tj maxx’s and one was $30 and one was $40!!

        1. Jennifer

          I need to find the $30 one!

  8. Jennifer

    Jen I am such a nerd asking you this (I think it is the teacher in me). What do you do with all that tape? I love it but I can’t think of what I would actually use it for.

    Jennifer

    1. Jennifer

      LOL. I use it in my planner mainly. And I send it to friends, share with my sister-in-law, etc. It’s about the only “craft” I have been doing lately.

      1. Jennifer

        If you are feeling the art bug I really enjoy glass blowing lessons and pinot’s pallette. Would recommend them both. My husband and I made glass hearts for Valentine’s Day and my mom and I made glass flowers for Mother’s Day. I took my daughter (22) to Pinot’s for her birthday. I don’t know what is out your way but they were great times.

    That is so much washi. It is so so so cute. I’m in love. I pulled mine out yesterday and the kids decorated sub boxes with it. LOL they were making habitats for their fake lizards. So much fun.

    1. Jennifer

      LOL. I know. So much! I got some for my SIL too, so it’s not as bad…

  10. Hilda

    Please let me know what you think of Glam Glow. I’m hearing so much about it that I’m curious if it lives up to the hype.

    1. Jennifer

      I really like it! It’s expensive though so I never want to pay full price.

  11. Pristine

    I got one of the Pick Your Plum mystery boxes this morning. It was more expensive than I was expecting, but I really liked what I got in the last one. I’m hoping this one has some good stuff in it too. Did you snag one?

    1. Jennifer

      I did snag one. I have never gotten one in the past so hopefully I will like it! How much was the last one?

      1. Pristine

        I think it was $30, but I don’t remember if shipping was $5 or free. Maybe it worked out to be the same price as this one.

        1. Jennifer

          That is an awesome deal. And way easier than hunting it down at tjmaxx.

  12. Krista

    I was hoping to get my PSMH Fall box before I left for vaca Friday but it says it won’t be delivered until Thursday the 11th!! Doesn’t that seem like a long time? 2 weeks for it? I am all the way across the country in Mass but still.

    1. Jennifer

      I feel like it’s going to come sooner than that. Mine is saying the 10th and that is a crazy long time! I bet there is a chance it will get there by Friday??

  13. Judy

    What?! Ok I’m making another trip to TJMaxx lol
