~Good morning!  We’ve got a pretty normal week around here.  I need to get WB registered for preschool (OMG) and L has a few half days and conferences, but other than that, it’s a standard week. Wait, no it’s not.  It’s the first week of March Madness.  It’s the start of my favorite few weeks of the year.  The Spartans don’t play until Friday, but I love watching ALL the games ;).

~Thank you to everyone for your tips last week on applying Jamberry’s!  I just did it the “normal” way this time, but I think next time I am going to give the ziploc bag method a go. I have some bubbles in my nails, but from a distance you can’t tell too much.  This is probably the dumbest question ever, but are the packs supposed to be for one set of nails or two?  The nails are big and I feel like I could get two full sets out of them.  Should I be cutting them in half and then applying?

~Is anyone into Dateline: Escape as I can?  I cannot look away.  I think this is the last in the series of these specials, but I have loved them all. I hope they turn this into a regular thing.  In other tv news, Dancing with the Stars starts tonight!  WB saw a commercial for it last night, stopped what he was doing and started dancing too.  I guess he’s excited about the new season too.

~Lots of subscription boxes coming this week! I am expecting Austin LloydBarkBox, Bespoke Post, bluum, Citrus Lane, FabKidsPopSugar, Fathom Quarterly Box, Loot Crate, Yogi Surprise and a bunch more.  I should be getting ipsy, but I haven’t even gotten a tracking notification yet for that one, so we’ll see.  Oh and the PopSugar Resort Box shipped so we should be getting spoilers on that one this week!  It’s shaping up to be a great week.

~Did anyone go see Cinderella over the weekend?  How was it?  I’d like to take the boys this week and I am curious if they’d like it?  I think L would veto it if it was a cartoon, but it’s not so how was it?

That’s all for now! How was your weekend? What do you have going on this week?  And of course, what subscription boxes are you expecting this week?  Oh and if you missed the details on the Bracket Challenge I am hosting make sure to go check them out.

    I really hope Robert Herjavec does well on DWTS! I know it’s a long shot, but he’s my favorite shark. I’ll probably stop watching once he’s gone.

    I should be getting Treatsie, Nerd Block, Citrus Lane, Bramble Box, and CandiGirl this week. My Happy Mail package should have been here last week, but apparently hasn’t even been accepted at the post office yet. PSMH isn’t expected to arrive until next week, but we’ll see.

    I just did m first jamicure the other week too. I only did a couple accent nails but my instructios said to cut them in half and it is for two nails. So the curved part on each end goes on a different nail. I guess if your nails are really long that wouldn’t work but for normal nails it seems to. I did do the baggie method and didn’t have any bubbles but it wasn’t that easy to do on my dominant hand. That is going to take some work. LOL

    I joined your bracket. Now to see if I can win 😉

    yep! I cut the nails in half so each set is actually 2 🙂

    The boys are growing up fast!

    This week I should be receiving my Wal Mart Beauty Box, BirchBox, BarkBox, and Collectible Geek. I may receive Loot Crate, LLB, and New England Sack. The last 3 do not have tracking numbers yet.

    My 16 year old saw Cinderella with his girlfriend. Sniff, Sniff. He said there were a lot of families there and that his little brother (6) should go and see it. That’s all I got out of him. It was his birthday celebration with his girlfriend – movies, meal, and then he went over her house for a few hours. What is really cute is that he wore a Bespoke dress shirt and a Bespoke tie. She gave him a Dark Knight tie clip. She’s artistic and is also making a present for him which is not done yet. She is also making her semi-formal dress!

    I LOVE your nails! I stopped biting mine a few months ago (I know gross… but that’s all in the past! 🙂 and now I’m so flippin’ excited about nail stuff! I must do this too.
    Temp tattoos… I wore one a few weeks ago (as a bracelet) and it was beautiful. Maybe I’m too old- but who’s gonna say that to me? lol. bring it.

    Yep – cut those babies in half! Each sheet will give you two full manis and two full pedis and then you’ll still have some leftover for accents. 🙂 Metallics are a little harder to apply – sometimes they need a little extra heat and pressure. You did a great job!

    Is WB potty-trained? Preschools around here won’t take your kid unless they are FULLY potty-trained and can completely do it all without any help. My son will be 3 a month from today and is not even remotely interested in going potty. I have a feeling he may be 4 before we get to preschool.

      Not quite, but we have like 6 months and he’s getting the hang of it so I am not too worried.
