~Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. The festival we were planning on going to actually got canceled because of damage from a big storm we had Friday night, so we ended up bbq’ing in the backyard, setting up the bounce house and we made a trip to Dave & Buster’s yesterday afternoon. I figured that was about as close as we were going to get to carnival games. The boys had a great time and so did B and I!
~I am making care packages for two of my cousins in college and I need some ideas. I have the makeup / nail polish / skin care stuff down, but what else should I send? They do have a car, so it doesn’t really have to be anything practical. Just fun stuff!
~I ask this every year, but when do you start decorating for fall? In September? Or do you wait until October 1st? I really want to get my stuff out, but is it too soon?
~And speaking of fall, has anyone else noticed the large amount of pumpkin spice / caramel apple flavored foods in stores right now? Oh my. It’s everywhere. Every fall there is just more and more of it too. I thought the Twizzlers would be good. They aren’t. In my opinion none of them are really that amazing. Except the Caramel Apple Pirate’s Booty. That is oddly good. B likes the Caramel Apple Oreo’s a lot, but even L avoids those. Have you tried any of these “seasonal” items recently? What do you think?
~This week I am expecting Hazel Lane (get here already), Blue Velveteen, Fancy Food Box, BOXYCHARM, Sample Society, Fair Treasure, GlobeIn, Fabletics, FabKids and *maybe* September’s PopSugar! I know that some people are reporting getting shipping information on theirs, but I haven’t gotten mine yet. Hopefully it ships today!
~I am still working on separating out subscription box reviews from other blog posts so that you can just view one or the other instead of all of them at once. I am hoping to have that done by the end of the week, but we’ll see about that! I am also going to try and do some updates to my tags so that it’s WAY easier to find things. If things look messy around here this week, it’s just me testing some things out.
What’s up for your Monday? Any big plans this week? And of course, what subscription boxes are you expecting?
