I 100% didn’t think I was going to get a post out for the weekend because my internet has been down for the last 36 hours. I thought it was an outage from the weather earlier in the week because a lot of people were complaining about outages, but it turns out that our internet company dropped off our new modem and left it at the front desk for us to pick up.

They called Tom to let him know and he forgot to tell me, so our internet cut out when they transferred our account to the new modem that I hadn’t set up yet because I was unaware it arrived.

There is a 1980’s vintage toy convention this weekend and I am super excited to go. I can’t wait to spend the day in nostalgia, showing the girls all the toys we used to have and play with. I kind of want to hunt for a vintage Super Gonzo doll, because I used to have one and he is my favourite Muppet. For some reason the girls have enjoyed The Muppet Show lately so I’m sure they would get a kick out of it. I’m going to be super disappointed if it sucks, because I have some pretty high expectations in my head.

This week this post looks a bit different. I cut out the redundant numbers below that explain and correspond with the collage and just listed the numbers right underneath it. It left more room and time to include more interesting reads.

I feel like this entire week was thrown off schedule. Tom worked really late afternoons until 4 or 5 in the morning each day this week, but him being home during the hours that he is usually working threw me off.

Well thank goodness for the long weekend because I totally wouldn’t have finished this post today. Also, I thought I had finished my Easter shopping on Thursday but I forgot to figure out what we are having for Easter dinner. Blah. I hate cooking meals like this, I hate cooking in general but big meals extra suck.

Does anyone have any recommendations for vacuums? We bought ours last year and it seems to be not working already. I totally should have read the reviews before buying it because the issue seems to be a common complaint. I don’t want one that breaks the bank, but one that will work for both carpets and hardwood. It’s only 650 sqft in here so we don’t need something huge because there is no place to put it. Bagless preferably since finding replacement bags can be a pain in the ass. Thanks 🙂

First off we went to see A Wrinkle in Time and it was really good. There were some changes and modernization but all in all they stuck to the book and it was nice and inspiring. Not a fluff movie and I hope that girls watch it and are inspired too.

I am feeling yellowish at the moment because I am impatiently waiting for the daffodils and tulips to start poking through. I need some colour outside. I made no new purchases this week…..well, except for my Estee Lauder Doublewear foundation from Sephora. I always cringe at the price but it’s the only foundation that I have ever tried that stays on my face all day. I really love it. I even got my mom using it. Yesterday I had several Asos jumpsuits in my basket but I didn’t go through with any of the purchases because the exchange rate pisses me off, so back to the drawing board 😉

Side note: I am still waiting for the purse I ordered to come into stock. It’s driving me nuts and I should have bought it straight from the retailer instead of preordering through Revolve. It serves me right for trying to save money on shipping.

I threw in some Saint Patrick’s day (green shoes) and Ides of March pieces today for some fun, although I really want that pencil holder. I think Roo might have successfully finished cleaning her room this week. It only took how long? Now I am going to get to making that Star Wars Duvet for her from the Pottery Barn sheets I was able to score from Ebay on discount. I just need to iron them, but the problem is that I don’t have an ironing board. How does one iron a gigantic sheet without an ironing board? Any ideas?

I had another Zara return today :/ Not one item from the last four online purchases have worked out for me and it’s getting ridiculous. I truly thought that this dress was going to be a winner but it just didn’t look right on me, so I am a little disappointed. I’ll keep looking because I really want a few more dresses for the summer time. Have you found any good ones lately?
