~Good morning! Let’s see, what’s happening here? B unexpectedly had the day off yesterday (there was a power outage at his work) so we got a ton of errands and other running around done. Then, after L got out of school, we went to see the Easter Bunny and took the boys to Dave & Buster’s! Wednesdays are half-off game days, so if we are going to D&B’s, it’s going to be on a Wednesday.

~Believe it or not, there is a new Oreo flavor coming.  “Strawberry Shortcake” is supposed to hit shelves next month and sounds pretty darn good. Also good is the new “Caramelized Honey Latte” from Starbucks.  I tried one yesterday and it was good, but I am not sure it tasted like honey?

~Subscription boxes still coming this week include FabFitFun, For the Faithful, Loot Crate, Birchbox Man, Beautycon BFF, Splendies, Hammock Pack, ZENBOX, and a few others.  Also, how excited is everyone about the POPSUGAR Mini Box?  I can’t wait to see what they do with that one!

~Does anyone know anything about kid’s activity trackers?  L (my almost 8 year-old) uses my old fitbit sometimes (when it doesn’t fall off), but I think he’d prefer something with a screen / display that shows some numbers (instead of just bars) and maybe even the date / time. Does something like this exist for children that’s not crazy expensive?

~Just a quick heads up that the Victoria’s Secret gift card from the February POPSUGAR box expires on 3.31.16.  Also, the Deny Designs coupon code (for the pillow) from the February Little Lace Box expires on 4.19.16.  I still haven’t selected the pillow I want to order but I need to get looking because time is going to run out before I know it!

That’s about it from here! What do you have planned for the weekend?  Any Easter plans? What boxes are you still expecting this week?

    I am PSYCHED about the PS mini box!! If I had to cancel everything and only keep one box it would be PS so to get two boxes from them a month? MAGIC.

    Man I didn’t even know they had red velvet Oreos, I saw them at Target a few weeks ago and had to get them. They’re delicious!!! The lemon ones are awesome too.

    So the kids activity watch/ tracker I think it’s called kid zoom. there 2 different brands if I google. It’s NOT the vtech brand that’s more games and camera.

    I agre about the honey latte it tasted more like a plain latte with caramel drizzle but it was still good!!

    Check out the Swatch Brand activity tracker.

    There are 2 models, one was $100 and the other $130 (when I looked at them in store last month)
    If you have a Swatch store near you you can check it out in person.

    I got my Avenue A box today, and it’s amazing!!! Excluding the pure boost shoes, I got a running jacket, 3/4 length running pants, and a sports bra, but my favorite item is the Stella McCartney bag.

    I like the idea of a mini popsugar box to save money, but I read on mysubscriptionaddiction that it is going to only have two items in it. Which I don’t know where she got that from because I haven’t seen it elsewhere. But I, in my opinion, usually hate the jewelry they send and can’t eat the snacks (due to a diet). So if they sent out the mini with everything but those items I would be thrilled. But if it is just two items and one of them ends up being the jewelry it would be a waste of money for me.
