~Good morning! This week has mainly been full of getting prepared for Back To School. We had L’s and WB’s Open Houses / Meet the Teachers and I am pretty darn excited about their classes. L’s class has lots of familiar faces from 1st grade and some of my favorite moms have kids in there! WB’s seemed to really like his classroom and took right to playing with a bunch of kids. We’ll see how he does next week when I am not there though ;). L got to visit with a bunch of wild animals and hang out with his favorite cousin. It’s been a good week for everyone.
~I don’t have too many more subscription boxes coming this week which is probably about right because of the upcoming holiday. I am still expecting August’s Hammock Pack (I don’t even know if it’s started moving yet), Julep, the POPSUGAR Fall Limited Edition box, The Fall Rachel Zoe Box of Style (that probably won’t arrive until next week though) and really, that might be it for this week. I still have some August boxes to get reviews finished on, so things won’t be boring around here.
~I have been busy updating the Spoilers Tab to reflect all the September Subscription Box Spoilers we know about so far, so if you are curious, go check it out. If there is nothing next to the box name it’s because we don’t know the theme or any spoilers yet, but we should find some out soon. If you know if any that I have missed, please share!
~If you aren’t on the thredup! train yet, you need to be. People have had mixed results sending in bags of clothing to them (you can read about my experience here), but I buy from them all the time for the boys. I usually gravitate towards brands like Crewcuts, abercrombie, Ralph Lauren, etc. because I feel like those deals are the best (and I do not want to pay full-price for that). I can score some amazing deals on GAP in-store clearance sales so I don’t usually shop for GAP on thredup! The stuff is used, but is generally in amazing condition. The website does a good job of letting you know what the issues (if any) are with the items and they always have coupons. If you are a new customer you can use my link to get $20 off your first purchase (I also get a $20 credit if you use it) or if you are placing a larger order you can use coupon code “40NP” to save 40% off your entire order (for a savings of up to $50). The mobile app has coupon codes of 10% or 15% just about daily and they work for returning customers, so it’s totally worth getting the app! So yeah, I love them.
~Did you see this Buzzfeed article on “How Much of a 90’s Kid Were You“? I was probably more of an 80’s kid, but I did pretty amazing on this test. There were a few things I didn’t recognize though. What were Hit Clips? And “Floor Scooters”? Nope. But the clear phone, the caboodles, gel pens (those are still cool by the way) and AOL Instant Messenger? Yeah, that was all great stuff!
That’s all from here! I hope you are having a fantastic day. Don’t forget to link-up your own Thursday Thoughts post below!
