~Good morning! Let’s see, what’s been going on here. It was L’s 100th Day of School yesterday which is a big thing in Elementary School. His class made adorable t-shirts with 100 dots on them and they wore them all day yesterday. Last year they were supposed to dress up like they were 100 years-old, but I love this t-shirt thing 100x more! Way easier.  WB has been climbing out of his crib on a regular basis, so it’s big boy bed only for him from now on.  He has always liked the big boy bed better and would switch on and off between the two, but he falls asleep way better in the crib.  Well, until he started climbing out anyway ;).

~The Bachelor this week was extra good.  First of all, when Kelsey was talking about how the other girls don’t like her?  And she realizes (well decides on her own) that it’s because she’s “blessed with eloquence” and is just basically so much smarter than everyone else.  Uhh, no. I almost popped open a bottle of champagne with the other girls after Chris gave her the boot.  I actually think the girls are what is making this season so great.  I thought Chris was going to be a great Bachelor, but he’s just kind of there.

~I have gotten shipping notices on quite a few subscription boxes, but I don’t know what will appear before this week is over and what will end up coming next week.  Between now and then I should be getting Bespoke Post, Birchbox, BOXYCHARM, Love With Food, Your Bijoux Box and probably ipsy – although I haven’t gotten tracking for that one yet.

~If you hadn’t yet heard, the Kate Spade Surprise Sale is on now.  It actually ends up 11:59pm TONIGHT, so if you want to check it out, do it before then.  I just bought a new wallet, but I for sure would have grabbed this one if I hadn’t gotten one.  Make sure you check out your local TJ Maxx / Home Goods for Kate Spade stuff right now too.  I got a cute mug and paperweight and I’ve been hearing that they have a lots of other little odds and ends as well.  The boxes are usually pretty beat up, but you can easily repackage and put together some great gifts!

~Have you heard about this new trend of women shaving their faces?  I guess it’s supposed to be a great exfoliator?  It scares me a but (okay, a lot), but I am curious to hear if anyone I know has tried it.  Does it work?

~And since we all know how addicted I am to all lip balms, I thought I would share the latest EOS set.  It’s got Watermelon and Passion Fruit and is about $6 a pack.  I love their watermelon and will be picking it up soon I am sure!

That’s all from here.  What’s going on this weekend? Any big plans for Valentine’s Day?  I still need to pick up B’s gift and get the Valentine’s gifts ready for L’s classmates, but I have a general idea of what I want to do, so it shouldn’t be too bad.
