~Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Let’s see, what do we have going on here this week? We gotta hit up the library, the boys are going to the Zoo with their Nana and Papa and hopefully we can squeeze in a trip to open swim. Oh and of course, I have PTO stuff. I also need to get some Back To School clothes for the boys. I have school supplies and backpacks all set, but they could use some new duds too.

~Did you hear that Target is pairing up with Aldo for a new line? The A+ Collection will feature 17 styles for men and women and will even include handbags.  From the sounds of it, this is NOT a limited edition thing and will be a regular feature at Target going forward!  Yay!  I also heard that Erin Condren is coming to Target, but that might just be a rumor.

Target + Aldo = A+
Target + Aldo = A+

~Subscription boxes! I’m expecting Citrus Lane, Loot Crate, Birchbox, Phone Case of the Month, ipsy, Something Snacks, Kiwi Crate, Doodle Crate, Koala Crate, BuddhiBox, EggDrop and Beauty Box 5 for sure.  There are actually quite a few shipments showing up in my USPS, but I can’t figure out what they all are.  It should be a fun week though!

~I haven’t done a review on them in ages, but we are still get Plated on a regular basis and just got our first Hello Fresh Box in ages last week too.  B posts pictures of all the meals he cooks on his Instagram, so if you are curious, check them out.

~Does anyone have any fun craft projects they are working on?  Are you reading any books right now?  Hooked on any new shows?  I am loving Lachey’s Bar.  I got caught up on all the episodes on On Demand over the weekend and it so reminds me of Newlyweds.  Minus Jessica of course.  I love that Nick and Drew are still trying to do all these projects on their own and I was cracking up when they planned on building that massive swingset on their own.  B (and my brother) built ours and it took FOREVER!  I think it had like 200 steps.  They did the right thing by hiring someone for that ;).

That’s all from here!  What do you have going on this week?  What subscription boxes are you expecting?

    this is totally bizarre, but i had a dream last night that we went to a conference and we bleached your hair and bronied it.

    obviously i have been traveling way too much. i haven’t even had time to think about back to school. the only thing we really need is new shoes i think!

      oh and it’s not 100% bizarre that i dreamt about you last night because i have a conference call with MSU and U of M people this morning. lol that makes it 100% not weird.

      1. Jennifer

        LOL! I am more concerned with how my hair turned out?? It doesn’t sound good!

    My book reading stalled for the summer. It soars when my kids are at school. But i do plan to make Pride and Prejudice happen due to the Little Lace box theme. And since i was pretty into Wayward Pines show i plan to get going on the Pines series by Blake Crouch
    At the moment im scrambling to make this summer awesome still and jam pack as much fun as i can since its quickly coming to an end. So much to do. Then. THEN!! First thing i do is get my hair done as soon as Sept 8th comes! Yay. The recovery of my sadly neglected appearance. Haha mom issues.

    OMG I would be in so much trouble if EC came to target. LOL
    I’m loving Lacheys Bar too. I’m a couple episodes behind but they are so brothers and I love watching them. I think brothers always think doing it themselves is a good idea and it never is. M and his brother and mine built our swingset and since I bought it off craigslist they had to disassemble and then reassemble at our house. It took forever.

    EC at Target would be awesome! As long as it is near me, the Staples are nowhere close

    Two shows I’ve recently started watching are The Jim Gaffigan show and Playing House. Both are comedies. Playing House had a recent episode with the Property Brothers which was pretty funny. Have you heard anything more about the Serendipity box?

    Love Lachey’s Bar too! Totally killed me that Drew got a little buzzed and bought a $12,000 barrel of bourbon! If you haven’t already, you should watch Wahlburgers. Oh, and thanks for the Not Your Father’s Rootbeer suggestion?. My hubby and I loved it. You’re right, only one or two will do…it’s really good but SWEET!

    1. Jennifer

      Yes! I watch the Wahlburgers too! I like the NKOTB stuff they show!
