Citrus Lane June Box: Look at the Loot

It's that time again where I am anxiously awaiting a package at my doorstep. OK, maybe I should say my toddler is anxiously awaiting a package, but who am I kidding. I get pretty darn excited about Citrus Lane {referral link} boxes too. The last two boxes have been pretty great, my favorites in fact. This box had quite a bit to live up to.

Since life has been busier that normal, here is the past week summed up in photos:

Thankful Thursdays #33

I am thankful for...

• A great head start in my new business goals

Make Yourself Uncomfortable

Don't worry. This isn't a TMI post that is going to leave you answering that question with "Very." If you want to read one of those, I suggest this one about my period. This post is something completely different.

Britax Free Ride Event

I have mentioned in the past how much we love our Britax Car Seats, but I never shared how we got our infant seat as part of an AMAZING deal. After researching and deciding on The B-Ready stroller, I shopped around for prices. It just so happened that we got our Britax B-Ready Stroller during the Free Ride Event and had our choice of either an infant seat, bassinet, or second seat for free! I calculated our savings at well over $280 with the combination of the free infant seat and the Amazon low price with free shipping. I am not affiliated with Britax (even though that would be awesome). I just love their products and wanted to share that the Free Ride Event is going on again right now! I am, however, an Amazon affiliate, so the links and images in this post will send you through my affiliate link. I'll explain all the details of the sale a little later on, but I want to tell you all about our B-Ready Stroller first. 

Thankful Thursdays #32

I am thankful for...

• I say twitter a lot, so this week I'll say the cool people on twitter
• Being able to watch some good 'ole reality TV
• Hiring a new manager at work
• Taking part in the Diapers for Daddies giveaway
• The movie Office Space for being so good
• Pesto, for also being so good
• The blue tooth in my car for making phone calls easy
• The First Mate sleeping in until 9am on Wednesday

Shiver Me Timbers Tuesday - June

This is usually a look at the hilarity and the OMG moments of parenting. However, I found this month's Shiver Me Timbers Tuesday to be pretty difficult to write. Either The First Mate has become amazingly well behaved, or I have become accustomed to all the crazy things he does.
