Mail Time

So.  The mail.  Lets talk about it.

As you know, I often pick up the mail for my out of town neighbors because (1) they ask me to and (2) I love, LOVE to get mail.  Even if its bills.  Even if its not for me.  No matter what, I love mail. 

First on my list of mail-time loves?  Citrus Lane.  Oh my.  You know I love baby gear.  And I love surprises. And I love the mail.  So my mind. was. blown. when I found this company.  They send you a box of age-appropriate baby stuff in the mail.  You can sign up monthly, or just buy one when you want it.  I'm waiting on my first one to arrive, and you can be sure you'll be hearing all about it!  Right now, they are offering the coupon code TAKEHALF for 50% off & free shipping.  Feel free to visit their website, or click through here to sign up (which does give me some perk [that I forget what is is] that I felt I should tell you about).

There's a similar company that sends you FOOD (I know, right!?), NatureBox, that I haven't pulled the trigger on yet.  But I'm thinking about it.  Have you used it?  Are they fabulous snacks?  Get 50% off with FB50, in case you're interested.

In other news, I love amazon, and even though amazon doesn't know who I am, I thought I'd tell you about my dirty little secret: I order my TP online.  And my mouthwash.  And, well, a bunch of other household things.  Now, I'm not an agoraphobic - I do go to the grocery store.  But I am a chrematophobic (not really.  that's a real phobia.  I'm just a cheapskate.) Which is to say, I like to get the best deal.  And I use Amazon's Subscribe & Save program to get me that.

Apparently this month's theme was blue & white.
Let's go Nittany Lions!

Mail Time! #IRLOMashup

So I've got some mail to share with you.

Mail Time!

First up, let's talk about the #IRLOMashup (in-real-life-online).  There's teams, you see, and I'm on a team.  But not just any team, Team Awesome.  That's just how we roll around here.  And I got this card in the mail, along with some instructions.

Tico<3Tina are some friends of mine, and they make these cards that have a blank canvas on them, so that you can write your own message.  For example:

or

I'm pretty sure I need a whole slew of these so that I can properly "your mom" all the people in my life.  You can read more about them here.  My job, once receiving these cards, is to take a picture of myself with the card...

Write up a little something something (more on that later) and then send of off to the next person on my team (also more on that later).  So consider this my submission photo.  Handsome was going to take it, but he's snoring right now.  When I mentioned that "later" when he is willing to take a picture, it would be dark, he said that "That says something about you.  Tells people you like to party."  He's sleep-lying again.

Anyhow, Team Awesome is still looking for people to be on our team, and if you're interested, let me know quickly!  There are prizes and all sorts of great stuff for winning teams!  If you're interested in applying, please be willing to (1) Write a "your mom" on the card, and (2) Take a jumping picture with the card.  Team Awesome has high standards, what can I say?  More information here.
