Hello and happy Monday!…except now that it’s Monday, that means Thanksgiving break is over, and it’s time to head back to school. That’s ok because I actually like December at school. I feel like the weeks usually fly by as we wrap up first semester.

Speaking of “flying by,” how is it December?! I’m linking up with Tanya to share my recent Amazon purchases.

This month’s post has quite a few purchases thanks to the kids’ birthday and prepping for Christmas.

I needed file folders for school, so I bought this pack. So much of what we do is digital, but I still have plenty of hard copies to keep up with in my filing cabinet.

I loved my fall “Cozy Girl” coloring book so much that I purchased the Christmas version. It’s just as cute as the fall one.

Bummer! BOTH pencil trees that I have (but have had for four – five years) needed some help in the light department. I bought two packs of these hundred bulb strands to use on mine and Hadley’s bedroom trees. They worked perfectly for what we needed.

I’ve had these remote controlled outlets for quite a few years, and I purchased another pack because Hadley wanted one for her room. I’ll use the other two for our outside lights.

This set of three is truly so handy. From my original set, I use one for the Christmas tree in the living room, one for the set of trees on the chest in the living room, and then the last one for the tree in the bedroom. I just use the remote to click them on/off in the morning and then before bed at night.

Well, my life changed forever when this label maker arrived! I actually had it on my list as a suggestion for Christmas, but once I got out all my Christmas decor, and I have quite a few remote controls (like for the set above), that I wanted to get organized. I use the app on my phone and then it prints! I’ve been a labeling fool since it arrived!

Hadley requested these slides for her birthday. They are a great price and all the rage for teens!

Hadley also had this cute little cotton bag on her birthday list. The price is less than $9 and such good quality. I filled it with cosmetic things she uses which was a good refill for what she needed.

One of the things I put in her bag was this blush stick by e.l.f.

One of Hayden’s requests was this brush to clean his golf clubs. He’s really into golfing this year!

‘Tis the season for shopping…and finding good deals! I’ve purchased a few things via Amazon, but they are Christmas gifts. I never know who reads my blog, so I don’t want to give anything away!

It’s Cyber Monday, so I’m sure Amazon will have some great deals!

In case you missed my last “gratitude” post on Saturday, here it is.

Happy shopping,

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Ours was really good. As how the last few weekends have been…Saturday was busy and Sunday had a little more downtime to prepare for the week ahead.

It’s the first Monday of the month, so I’m linking up with Tanya to share my Amazon purchases this month.

This month, I had a few new things, but more than half of my purchases were repeat purchases.

Repeat purchases:

Hadley and I both still love the “Magic Wand” for fluffy and shaping our eyebrows.

A couple of weeks ago, I thought I lost my favorite sunglasses, so I ordered them again. Then, later in the week, I found my original pair. For less that $10, I think it’s good to have a couple of pairs of these.

Here I am wearing them at Keeneland a couple of weeks ago:

I’ve been using this same meal planner for a few years, and I only have to order it once a year. It sticks to our fridge, and it’s where I write what we have going on the for the week, what we’re having for dinner, and my grocery shopping list. I can’t recommend it enough!

I guess I probably share these under eye patches every month because there’s thirty sets of patches! I keep them in the fridge, and they are a part of my morning routine while I drink my coffee.

This is the third time I’ve ordered this retinol stick, and I use it morning and night. (It has a $3 coupon right now)

I shared that I ordered this blouse in blue last month and sized up just not knowing how it would fit.

Well, there was a “flash sale” on the blouse, and I ordered it in my regular size. Honestly, since it’s a flowy top, there’s not much difference in the fit. Once the weather cooled off a bit and I’m back to wearing pants a bit more often (bummer!), I realized I could use a few more work basics in my closet. This blouse comes in so many colors, and I know I will wear with them with jeans too.

New purchases:

Shay “influenced” me with one of her Saturday fall posts, and I ordered the “Cozy Girl” coloring book. Don’t be surprised if next month, I’m sharing that I purchased the Christmas themed one.

Of course, that meant I needed a set of markers, and these have been perfect for coloring pages when I can. Coloring is so therapeutic for me. I really think the coloring book and markers would be fun stocking stuffers or small gifts for tweens and teens.

Fun fact about Hadley…she knows how to order from Amazon. haha

She needed another charging cable, and ordered this “fast charging 10 ft” two pack.

I got a new phone last spring, and I’m rough on my phone…so I was in need a of new screen protector. I grabbed this three pack because I’m sure it won’t be the last time I need a new protector.

What have you primed lately?

Well, this Monday kind of feels like a weird one knowing we don’t have school tomorrow because of Election day.

I’m happy to have an extra day off, but I’m even happier to hopefully not receive any more calls and texts in regards to candidates and voting!

Also, hop over to my other post for the day as I’m continuing with the “gratitude challenge” for November!

Hello and happy Monday!

Well, all good things must come to an end…it’s back to school we go after a week off for fall break!

It’s the first Monday of the month, so I’m linking up with with Tanya to share my Amazon purchases this month.

I had quite a few purchases this month:

First up is this over-sized t-shirt. It’s perfect to wear with leggings or wear as a sleep shirt.

I did a quick change after school before running off to a volleyball game.

I had this set saved on one of my Amazon lists, and I decided to order it before our fall break trip. It arrived right before we left, so I quickly tried it on and new that I loved it.

To me, it doesn’t look exactly like the Amazon pic because the sleeves (on me, at least) are regular length and don’t go past my elbows. Anyway, I wore it more than once in Florida, and it was perfect to just throw on and go. I got my normal size.

Last month, Tanya shared this blouse that I’d also seen and saved to a list. Well, once she shared it, I went ahead and ordered it. I sized up and didn’t need to, but I love it. It’s lightweight, flowy and forgiving.

I ordered these pants as something to wear year round with a tank, a t-shirt or a sweatshirt. They are so comfy and cozy, and I just love the pockets and the hem at the bottom. This is definitely something I might order in another color.

‘Tis the season for congestion and allergies. Travis ordered this “boom.boom” nasal stick three pack for the kids to use. These are great to clear up your sinuses!

You know I watch lots of volleyball games and track meets, and I’ve had the same chair for a few years, but wanted one with arms and a bigger back. An influencer I follow, @bobbiwiththeeye, shared her favorite chair when it was on sale, so I snagged it right up. It’s worth the full price too, but I was happy to get a bit of a deal.

I shared this flag in an earlier post, and it’s so cute.

It’s been the perfect update for the front yard.

Again, I ordered my “tried and true” eye mask that I use every morning. I keep them in the fridge, so they are nice and cool under my eyes. With a new pack, the first few seem to be extra drippy, but I always just rub the extra retinol on my face or neck.

Well, due to one of Hadley’s volleyball games, I had to miss one of my facial appointments. Since I missed my September dermaplane, I took matters into my own hands. These Tinkle razors were very easy to use. I think I can get a couple of touch ups out of each one. (Also, these say eyebrow razor, but they can be used on your face)

Last but not least, Hadley had one of these wallets on her phone, and has had it for a few years. It was stretched out and falling apart, so I got her another two pack before we left for our beach vacay. The last thing I needed was her losing her debit card in Florida!

I know tomorrow and Wednesday are big days for Amazon, so some of these items might even have a better price.

Happy Priming!

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Overall, ours was really good. We went out to dinner Friday night at a pizza place we hadn’t been to in a while.

I spent most of Saturday watching the Olympics and doing things around the house. Then, Hayden had a basketball game, and Travis and I joined Hadley for the family picnic with her volleyball team on Saturday night.

After the volleyball picnic, Hadley and her teammates had a lock in at school. She got home yesterday morning around 7:30, and slept most of the day. I spent most the day being in denial that I head back to school today 😉 Oh well, the time has come!

As always, I’m linking up with Tanya to share my Amazon purchases in July. Buckle up! haha

Here are my purchases this month:

Me:

Well, I jumped on the layered necklace trend. I’ve been wearing this one all summer, and sometimes add in this beaded necklace. I’m so trendy. haha

I’ve seen this striped sweatshirt shared by quite a few people, and when I saw this color way, I decided to purchase it. I got my typical size large, and it’s over-sized, but not too much. The material is more structured, and not typical sweatshirt material. I’ve already worn it quite a few times lounging around at home, with jeans, and with shorts. It did arrive sooner than originally stated.

After two years of doing SNS/dip polish, I decided my nails needed a little break. Well, when I went to look at my nail polish collection, most of them were pretty dried up. So, I turned to my tried and true brand: OPI and got my favorite neutral color: Bubble Bath.

My eyebrows have always been a lot, and now I’m thankful that thick/bushy (am I explaining this correctly!?) eyebrows are in. Hadley likes to brush (again, not the right word?) hers, and when I saw this brow wand, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m liking how it’s working to tame my brows.

Kids:

Trav bought these Drip Drop packets for the kids to use in their water for hydration.

Before running camp, Hayden needed a few more pairs of socks, so Travis ordered these for him. There are lots of color options.

Fun fact: Hadley used to have twice the laundry as Hayden, and now that’s reversed. Depending on the day, sometimes he runs (one outfit), works out (another outfit), and then has his regular clothes. Throw in swim trunks if he’s been to the pool , or hot and sweaty after mowing the grass, and numerous pairs of socks from all his running and sweating, his laundry piles up quickly!

This summer, Hadley requested a matching set of pajamas. I got her this pair, and she wears them non-stop!

Hadley needed a couple more sports bras, and she found this one. It’s less than $20, and has 41,000 reviews, so I picked up two of them during Prime Day.

More Prime Day:

Other Prime Day purchases include:

A new makeup bag for me….

I had my eye on this one, and ordered it. There are many color options, and it’s been perfect for me as I was looking for a makeup bag that was more compact than the one I’d been using the past few years. Right now, it has a 20% off coupon.

Also on Prime Day, I ordered the viral “snackle” box. There are various sizes, but I got the one with eight compartments. I haven’t used it much yet, but it’s come in handy for fruits and veggies.

If you have one, what do you put in it?

Travis is a patient man until it comes to dealing with our Tupperware. He hates all the odds and ends, and we don’t have a good storage system for our various sizes of Tupperware.

When I saw this set on sale during Prime Days, I asked him if I should order it, and he said nothing would make him happier. #sodramatic

I know I will use these a lot for lunches and leftovers. I did take a moment to get everything organized, and toss some of our older Tupperware or those that were missing lids, etc.

Anyway, I feel like I’m really adulting with these glass containers!

I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but I ordered this shirt, in a THIRD color. I just love the over-sized fit, and it can be worn with leggings or demin. It goes on sale off and on, so I snagged it during Prime Days for a lower price. It does have a 10% off coupon right now.

I hope you have a great Monday. My alarm is going off at 5:30 to get Hayden to cross country practice before I head to school for a day of professional development. I’m really jumping back into the school year with both feet! #sayaprayerforme
