Five Loves on Friday!

{via}

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!  Hope you've enjoyed a lovely week, friends!  Here are 5 loves from mine:

1.  Sparkly Sweetness

Little One was given a jewelry making kit this week.  She immediately went to {sparkle} town, handcrafting cuteness for her family, friends, and dolls, of course! ;)  Check out that lit'l trifecta of friendship perfection up top there.  She made a simply sweet bracelet for herself and her two BFFs from church.  This mama's heart is oh-so-full!


2.  POPSUGAR Must Have + a $5 off coupon for Y-O-U!
I am SO EXCITED!  I ordered my first POPSUGAR Must Have box this week!!! Hooray for happy mail coming in March!  

Have you heard of POPSUGAR Must Have?

The best in fashion, beauty, home, fitness, food, and more delivered straight to your door. - POPSUGAR

I've swooned over POPSUGAR box reveals for so long now.  When I scored a $5 discount I thought it was the perfect excuse to pretend it was my birthday order a box of goodies!

I have seen a spoiler revealing one of next month's surprises!  I will just say that this goody goes for more than the price of box and scores 5 star reviews at Sephora! Curious? Here's a link to the item IF you can't help but take a peek!  Long story short, I've already got more than my money's worth! YAY!!!

Here's a link if you'd like to snag a March box too!

Upon my purchase, POPSUGAR gave me a code to share with friends!  Use coupon code:  REFER5 to save $5! ... Woohoo for deals! :)

3.  Loving my dishes with a dash of Disney magic!

We broke in our new plates last night with Enchiladas Cancun.  I adore every last Disney detail!  Looking forward to serving family dinners on these for years to come!

4.  I found out where the missing socks go!

This video made my heart smile!  I'd LOVE it if this was where those darn missing socks ended up! ;)


5. DATE NIGHT!!!

My parents invited the girls for a sleepover tonight, which means fun for ALL of us!  I'm excited for them to make some sweet new memories with Grandpa Bob & Grandma Kathy ...& I look forward to making a few of my own with my Lovey!  Whether we decide to go out or grab take out, it'll be a good night, no doubt! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  It's a joy to have you here!

Disney Store Haul!

Who wants to peek inside my Tinkerbell lined boxes to check out the magical goodies I snagged during Disney Store's Friends & Family Sale?  I can't wait to share!!!


Disney Plates

Gourmet Mickey Mouse Dinner Plate Set

We've been needing some new plates for a while now.  I've (obviously) wanted to add more Disney magic to our everyday lives too!  These plates made both happen!  They're regularly $99.95 for a set of 12 (which is a little steep for my budget).  I watched and waited for the right sort of discount to make them a reasonable purchase.  That 25% off code made it the perfect time to snatch them up!  Now I just need to whip up some Disney recipes!

Princess' Custom Made (by Mom) Gift Box!

I went with a mystery box theme for my family this Valentine's Day.  Little One got a Nerd Block Junior Girls box, and Jason received a Loot Crate and a Nerd Block Classic box.  I decided that I'd create a Disney box for Princess, choosing items I knew she had her eye on! Here's what she found inside...

Cinderella Nightshirt // She immediately declared this soft, comfy pj top to be her new favorite!

Cruella De Vil "Tsum Tsum" Plush // Who knew a Disney villain could be so cute?!  Can you spot her tiny red shoes? Adorableness!!

Beautifully Disney This Way, That Way Nail Polish // Her new mani is beautifully Disney indeed!

Minnie Mouse Lounge Pants

Minnie Mouse Lounge Pants for Women

I absolutely LOVE Disney Store's lounge pants!  This is my third, and favorite, pair.  They're covered in hearts, Minnie, and even tie up with a pink bow.  I don't know how they could be more perfect!  Originally $19.95, these were marked down to $15.  My 25% off brought them all the way down to $11.25!  Deal!

Toy Story Tsum Tsums

Toy Story Tsum Tsum Mini Plush Collection

("Tsum tsum" means "stack stack" in Japanese)

I know, I know, I'm a "grown up", but I can't resist the cuteness!!  These are just too sweet!  Disney keeps us all young-at-heart! :)  

The mini size tsum tsums are normally $4.95 each, but these Toy Story cuties were marked down to $2.99.  After the 25% off, the entire set (usually $44.55) was only $20.18!

Check out the sweet detailing on each...

I mean, really!  So stinkin' cute!

Shh!

I can't share what's inside this box, yet! It's a Mother's Day gift for my mom to enjoy during our Disney trip together later this year. :)  You know I'll share later, so stick around to find out what's hidden inside this box of pixie dusted perfection!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a magical day, friends!

Five Loves on Friday!

Happy Friday, friends! I'm going to keep this post short & sweet as I'm feeling unwell. :(  Let's get right to it...

1.  Sweets from my Sweet 
I've been enjoying my {early} Valentine's Day gift for a few weeks now, but Jason couldn't resist hooking me up with some chocolatey goodness too.  Does he know his wife or what? ;)  

2.  A Relaxing & Delicious Holiday
We enjoyed a really laid back Valentine's Day, spent entirely in pajamas.  *happy sigh*  When evening rolled around we ordered takeout from our favorite Thai restaurant.  It was a pretty perfect day. :)

3.  Valentine's Party 2015  
My mom's annual daycare Valentine's party is always so sweet!  She and my dad prepped boxes for all the kiddos to decorate. Cute cards were swapped, adorable goodies were gobbled, and a great time was had by all!  Thanks again for inviting us to join in on the fun, Mom! 

4.  One of my favorite parts of the holiday was having an excuse to give gifts to my 3 loves!  Check out what Little One received: Nerd Block Jr. Girls February 2015 Box!  At the end of that blog post, I also shared what I gifted my other Valentines. ;) 

5.  My Disney Store Friends & Family Sale purchases arrived this week!! I'll be sharing a haul soon!  The bottom box shown weighed 13.70 lbs.  Any guesses what it contained a dozen of?

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have yourself a lovely weekend!

Nerd Block Jr. Girls February 2015 Subscription Box Reveal!

For Valentine's Day I ordered Little One her first mail subscription box, Nerd Block Jr. Girls!  She was ecstatic when it arrived this week, and over the moon upon opening it!  Today I'm excited to share its contents with you all!

THE GOODS:

Wonderland Notebook
This 300 page notebook is so cute that I honestly wish that I had one for myself too!  The cover is a soft canvas, in the most beautiful blue.  She's already started journaling in it, recording daily events to share with her children one day.  How sweet is that? :)

Kirby Plush

He's super adorable and snuggly!  This lit'l guy was certainly one of the highlights of the box!

Elsa Figurine

You know girls everywhere were squealing over this lit'l toy!  Need I say more?

Nerd Block Exclusive Item - Cliccors
As the back of the packaging suggests, these are good for bending, twisting, and shaping.  So far hers have been worn as bracelets, bent into diamonds, hearts, and even shaped as Tetris blocks!

Nerd Block Exclusive Coloring Book

This coloring book features all sorts of cute monsters to color and games to play.  I love the advice on the front cover, "Don't worry about staying in the lines..."  I look forward to seeing this book come to life via Little One's crayon box!

Overall, her reaction and love for the box's contents made it a fantastic gift!  It was every bit as fun for me as the gift giver to watch her open it as the items inside were a surprise to me as well!

Nerd Block offers a variety of boxes, ranging in price from $13.99 to $19.99 per month.  The Nerd Block Jr. boxes are available in both girls and boys editions for $13.99 + shipping.  (It ships from Canada, bringing the total cost close to $20 for us here in the States.)  To see the other boxes available through Nerd Block you can visit their website at NerdBlock.com.  

Little One isn't the only one in our family who received a surprise box of goodies for Valentine's Day.  I ordered Nerd Block for Jason too!  His classic edition box is expected to arrive by early next week.  Along with that, I also purchased a one month Loot Crate subscription for him.  Many more surprises await the Platt family!  Anyone wondering what Princess' Valentine gift was?  She received a custom made (by mom) DISNEY themed Box!  I may share those box reveals soon too! ;)

Thanks for stopping by!  It makes my heart happy to have you here!
