~School is out for summer and we are THRILLED!!! I think we are going to just try and take it easy the next few days and then figure out what to do with our summer. I am thinking about making my own version of the popsicle stick jar with activities on each stick it for a fun way decide what to do that day, figure out what to do when we are bored, etc. I am going to write down all my summer ideas (splash pad, playground, picnic lunch, playground McDonalds, water balloon fight, make tie-dye t-shirts, etc.) and just let the kids decide when we need to pick. Some we’ll put back in the bucket and some will be one-time only things. I will post on Instagram when I am done.
~This week started off a little crazy subscription box wise and they are still coming in! Slower than earlier in the week, but they are arriving. I still should be getting PopSugar, ipsy, Beauty Box 5 (which I thought I canceled), bluum, Citrus Lane, Genuine Articles, Birchbox, BuddhiBox, Box Furr You, Dottiebox Mini and one or two more. I am guessing they all won’t arrive by the end of the week, but I know they are all on their way to me.
~The winner of the Summer 2015 POPSUGAR Summer Must Have Box is Mary Ann C.! Congrats Mary Ann, I will be e-mailing you soon. I need to do some closet cleaning this weekend and I know I have a few giveaway goodies in there so if you didn’t win, there will be more chances.,
~For L’s Teacher Gift this year I went for the “Orange You Glad it’s Summer” theme and did a few little orange gifts. I got an orange Starbucks cup and then put a Starbucks gift card inside (okay that’s not orange but still), an Orange Leaf (fro-yo) gift card, nail polish, sunscreen, lip balm, hand sanitizer and tic tacs. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out and it certainly was an easy one to do.
~Speaking of orange, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK is back tomorrow! Is anyone planning on binge watching like I am? I am pretty sure I will be able to get through the entire season by the end of the weekend.
~Have you tried any of the new Starbucks Frappuccino flavors (Caramel Cocoa Cluster, Cinnamon Roll, Cotton Candy, Cupcake, Lemon Bar and Red Velvet Cake)? L, WB and I tired the Cupcake and the Lemon and I think we all agreed the lemon was where it’s at! I want to ry the Red Velvet one next! In case you are wondering (I always am), the Lemon, Cotton Candy and Cupcake ones are cream based – i.e. they have no caffeine.
That’s all from here! What are you doing this weekend?
