~Good morning!   How was your weekend?  We had a great one!  B was home all weekend (he was away with the National Guard last weekend and was then out of town all week for work) so the kids loved that.  Plus we celebrated both B and WB’s birthdays and the weather was gorgeous (well it was only half nice out yesterday) which allowed us to spend most of the weekend outside.  I got nothing done around the house though, so it the next few days likely won’t be quite as fun as the weekend!

~I am still exhausted from staying up way too late messing with the Lily Pulitzer + Target launch on early Sunday morning. It’s going to be a minute before I recover from that mess. LOL. All the stores around me are basically wiped clean (and have been since about 10 minutes after stores opened yesterday), but my girl Dana (DANA) picked up a bunch of stuff for me from her Target (best.Target.ever) which I should be getting in a few days.  I cannot wait.  And I am hoping my online orders all end up going through as well.  I still can’t figure out what they were thinking with that launch.  They hyped it like crazy for 4 months and then there’s just not enough stuff.  You’d think they would have learned from Missoni! Anyway, I’ll post some pictures when it arrives.  I don’t want to get too excited before I see it.

~We are planning on starting Baby Foot tonight.  I have explained more of what’s going to happen (basically all the dead skin falls off your feet) to B and he’s getting a tad concerned.  LOL. He started out all into it, but the more he learned the more concerned he is.  But he says hell still do it.  I think it could take up to 2 weeks for the process to complete, so I’ll report back in a few days.

~Lots of subscription boxes coming this week! I am expecting Birchbox Lovely Day Limited Edition Box, Citrus Lane, Kloverbox, Little Lace Box (I think they start shipping today?), Loot Crate, Phone Case of the Month Something Snacks and there are a handful more showing up in USPS that I just can’t identify.

~Is anyone else planning on watching the Bruce Jenner interview this week?  I have to admit, I am fascinated.  I am quite curious to know if anyone knew before he told them or if he had told them years ago or what?  And how do you even broach something like that with your children? It’s going to be very interesting to say the least.

~That’s about it from here!  WB has his 3 year well visit this morning so we need to start getting ready.  What do you have going on this week?  What boxes are you expecting?

    That Target thing was a mess! I think they deserve to have all of it sold on ebay for an outrageous amount! I was bidding on a few flip flops but I refuse to pay over 2X the amount they were in the store.
    I am waiting on Wantable Makeup, Splendies, SoSusan Lip Love, and Little Lace Box.

    Yeahhh the target thing for me was a disappointment. I will not ever attempt that again. Also some people made a good point that at the prices those things are going for on ebay you can just buy the real LP line. Yes. The target line was lovely, yes im bummed i missed out. But target did a crap job planning this out. Terrible.
    I can not wait for lootcrate this week!! It looks awesome so many goodies to split amongst my kiddies.
    Im soooo hoping for some PS CFDA leaks/spoilers something.
    And i opted in for the bianca jade misfit quarterly. I hoping its a good one. That will come this week i think.

    A busy week, getting hair done, chores around the house, laundry, lunch with the Navy Moms and going to the San Francisco Movie festival. No boxes for me, I subscribe to Birchbox, FabFitFun and PopSugar Must Have Box and those boxes already arrived and I loved all my fab goodies.

    Ugh! I closed the tab by mistake and lost my response!!!

    Sounds like you had a fun weekend. My 6 year old’s very first baseball practice was cancelled last night and might be tonight because of the rain.

    The Target thing annoys me. I don’t understand why the hype. the Look Book, the publicity etc. if it was going to be extremely limited in stores, nevermind the internet mess. I’m still a little tired from that too. I’ll be reading about the Jenner interview, but won’t be watching it.

    I am expected Jouer Le Matchbox, Kloverbox, LLB, I have tracking for Splendies, Bianca Jade, GoodeBox bonus box and Awesome Pack should ship today. I don’t know if those 4 boxes will arrive this week. I also have a tracking number for the SmushBall Fancy Box (the cat box) with no activity on it. I received the Twined Mother’s Day box today.

    The Target sale was a fiasco!! I got 3 of the about 20 items I wanted.

    Just as an FYI – I emailed Allure to see when we would be charged if we pre ordered all of the beauty thrills boxes, according to them we will be charged next Monday when they ship!

    I work in the starbucks Bruce frequents. We all had a feeling something was up, he’s been coming in for years wearing nail polish, but we never judged nor cared. Bruce is one of the most genuine and kind people I know. Always stops to chat, always thanks us for our time, just a sweet, sweet person. I hate that what he’s going through has been so public, transitioning is so difficult even without the hype. I have a few friends that are transgendered and have gotten the full operation done, it’s a very emotionally trying time. I hope Bruce will be ok.

    I totally can’t wait to hear how the baby foot thing goes. I’m hopeful that it works for you so I can get it. After getting pedicures last season at the walk in places instead of making appointments at salons ( $25 vs $45 ) I thought I was getting a deal but apparently not in the long run. I never had bad feet but ever since they have been pretty rough, ugh.

    I liked baby feet. It only peeled for like 4 days for me but my feet are soft now so I think it did its job.

    I ordered a decent amount of Lilly stuff but not even close to everything I wanted. Hope it ships soon. I was able to get a couple things that were returned today too: the pineapple train case and the appetizer plates. That was the excitement of my day. If I had known then what I know now I would have went to targets before they opened Sun.

    I already have my DVR set to record the Bruce Jenner interview, It took me all day yesterday til I got up this morning to recover from my Lilly + Target all nighter. I ended up having five items in my cart at one time and ended up with two tunics, still not sure how that happened. I think it went through on my Target app. I did not have it in me after all that to get up and go to my nearest Target to shop and from all that I read I am glad I didn’t. Anyone got a tracking number for their Target.com order yet? And does anyone know around when Lilly Pulitzer websites have their big sales?

    1. Jennifer

      I have had two of my three orders ship so far. I really hope my other one ships today!

      I am not sure exactly when they do them?? Hopefully someone else knows!

  10. PA Anna

    Over 36,000 items on eBay. I wonder if people will return them to the store?

    1. Jennifer

      I think the returning has already started!
