This week has been a mixed bag. We had some great things happen and lots to look forward to in the coming weeks, but I also fell down the stairs on Monday and have been laid up ever since. Essentially I’m bruised and sore. My shoulder popped out (and then popped back in on its’ own) so I’m keeping it mostly immobilized while I wait on followups. I’m trying to take it easy, but it’s been a rough week, mostly because I HATE sitting still.
Thankfully the internet has a lot to offer and I’ve been binging on Netflix shows all week long. If you have any recommendations I’d love to hear them! This week I’m naming our post after both the weather and the series on Netflix.

Check off your to-do list
Julie wrote this helpful post about online sites, apps, and more you can use to help you check off your to-do list. I so needed this! I’m drowning in paperwork and to-dos.
Ask. Listen. Learn. Tips from me (a parenting expert!)
This week I shared advice on how to change the narrative around alcohol with your kids. It’s a tough topic for sure, but having those tough conversations can literally save their lives. Bonus? The folks at Ask. Listen. Learn. called me a parenting expert. Totally putting it on a tee shirt and wearing it around the kids.
Sunday Deals
Free month of Rocksbox
My favorite deal right now is via Rocksbox. I’ve been very happy with their jewelry subscription service. Jewelry isn’t something I normally buy myself, so being able to try things on before I buy and wear them a bit has been so much fun. I look forward to getting a box each month. You can try it for FREE this month using code centsiblelifexoxo. There’s no obligation to continue, and if you decide you like it it’s $19/month. You also get a credit each month you get a box, and credits for referring friends. I get a credit if you sign up, which means I get more jewelry. It’s a win-win.
Head to Rocksbox to sign up, or read my review.

Sunday Picks
I’m Sorry Tee
I was shopping for a project (I know, tough life) and found this fun tee from Nordstrom. It’s made in the USA and even though it’s a Juniors style I picked it up. I’m young at heart after all. 😉
Wet Hot American Summer
I missed the cult hit movie when it came out so I started with the movie and then devoured the new series. It takes place on the first day of camp while the movie takes place on the last day. The fact that there are 15 years between filming the movie and series is pretty fun.
Find it on Netflix.
