1. We have had some ridiculously warm and awesome weather this week. Some people are complaining that it’s too hot, but you will absolutely not hear those words come out of my mouth.
After the winter we had, bring on this warmth!!
2. Although, I am ashamed to admit…we did have to cave and turn on the air conditioning last night (gahhh!). We tried holding off, but the boys’ rooms get so warm…ahh well. Off it goes today. Or tomorrow.
3. All of this beautiful weather has made for lots of fun outdoors with the neighbors! From car chases, to water gun fights, and parents enjoying a beverage or two with each other (!!), these kiddos sure are in for a blast of a spring/summer.
4. Soo, word on the street is that we’re going to be getting cold brew ON TAP at our office (umm, AMAZING), so we had a local company back at the office earlier this week so we could try their Nitro Cold Brew.
Ohhh myyy, am I going to be in trouble once it’s here on the daily.
5. Sometimes I think our UPS/FedEx drivers must hate us.
I need to start putting out some goodies for them or something, at the rate we’ve been getting boxes delivered these days.
6. One said box that I was particularly excited about actually contained this cube organizer.
I originally wanted to purchase one in an attempt to somewhat organize our office/play/toy catch-all room like, three months ago, but the color I wanted (Rustic Grey) was out of stock. So when I randomly checked Walmart’s website last week and saw it was back, I quickly snatched it up and I loooove it!! Now I just need some a couple more/different bins (those wicker ones are also from Walmart, similar to these, which I purchased about 2 years ago).
7. So I think there’s something up with my right ear. For the past week or so, I get this odd, super annoying fluttering that will last for anywhere between a few seconds to a minute, and then it goes away. It started only doing it a couple times a day, and now it’s usually a couple times an hour. It doesn’t necessarily hurt, but my ear does feel really “full” if that makes sense. At any rate, I’m heading to the doc next week to get it checked out, just in case….anyone else every experience anything similar??
8. Are you guys using Boxed (affiliate link!) yet? I go on every few months or so and stock up on a lot of the stuff we use most frequently and we just got a new order this week.
If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it. Just like a BJ’s or Sam’s Club, but no driving, FREE shipping over $49, and it’s here in about two days. If you use this link (affiliate link) you can get $15 off your first box, too!
9. Heads up for those of you who like to shop on thredUP! They’re having a big sale this weekend, with approx 1,500 items priced at $0.99, and an additional 115K items between $1 and $5! I need to go on and try to find some shoes for the boys because they’re growing like weeeeds.
Alright my friends, I’m off for today! I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing <3
We have two of those cube organizers in rustic gray and bought a matching tv stand! Love, love, love the color and the prices we so reasonable. Such a random Walmart find. Would you mind sharing your gate hack for the stairs? Are those zip ties and a piece of styrofoam? We’ve been looking for a non damaging solution for my mom’s stairs.
Yes! Zip ties and a random, leftover piece of wood that was in Jay’s work room, haha. We felt the same way, didn’t want to be drilling any holes!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I am loving this warmer weather!! However, we haven’t put the air conditioner in yet so it is HOT in our apartment, so it is disgusting in there. I hope it turns out to be nothing with your ear! That doesn’t sound like a good time at all. Have a great weekend, Courtney! Xoxo
I had a weird ear issue last year around this time, and my doctor actually told me to take a Claritin!! I’ve never had bad allergies and didn’t feel stuffed up or anything, but she said some people’s sinuses get clogged from the pollen and it winds up affecting their ears. Idk if that’s your situation too, but you could try it!
omg I’m having the exact same weird ear issue! I am also 100 years pregnant (scheduled c section next Thursday) so I chalked it up to some weird preggo issue, but maybe I should have it checked out too. and yes please, may the warm weather stay forever!
I just let out the biggest laugh and snort looking at Alex’s ‘Mean Muggin’ pic! I shouldn’t have looked at my phone during my 4 YO nephews solo at his recital. I got a few mean mugs myself!
It could be wax buildup inside your ear, that you can’t even see or get to when you q tip. My brother had that once. The doctor flushed it out with saline or water or something and the buildup came out. Def don’t poke around in there yourself, let the dr do it!
I had that ear issue last November. It went away after a few weeks and hasn’t been back, it was a little worrisome though!
Glad to hear it went away! I felt like mine was going away, but just over the past couple of days it’s back again (and driving me crazy!!).
