12 Days of Christmas Show Off

These last 2 weeks have been rough in our house, Zo got diagnosed with the flu and we've spent a few nights waiting 4 hours to see a doctor in E.R. for meds and to break high fevers. It's been no fun! Remember last month when I signed up to participate in the 12 Days of Christmas swap hosted by CG Swaps? Well, I got an amazing box of goodies that I was so eager to open and share with you all.

I was paired with Jackie from Precious Baby Pierce and she got me a box full of great items. I had a blast unwrapping all of her goodies.

First here's my little Christmas present!




                                                    Day 1: Starbucks Giftcard


Day 2: Cookie Mix


Day 3: A pretty scarf


Day 4: A coffee mug- I love it!


Day 5: A personalized Christmas ornament. It looked so good on our tree!


Day 6: Matching Mommy and Zoey cross necklaces. We love these!


Day 7: Ninjabread Cookies


Day 8: Pedi tools and socks!


Day 9: Vanilla Chai candle


Day 10: Another pretty scarf.



                                                     Day 11: Pretty Christmas ornament

Day 12: Nail polish



My little helper loved opening everything! Thank you so much Jackie for such a fun box of goodies. I hope you loved yours! It was so fun to shop for you!

Swapoween Package Reveal

You may remember a month or so ago I mentioned I was chosen to participate in the annual Swapoween Swap hosted by Beth and Angie over at Chaotic Goddess Swaps.


 Well, I received an awesome box of goodies from my partner, Ann. I LOVED everything in my package. This Swap is one of my favorites to do and I look forward to participating every year.








Zoey adores the book! The candy was delish! I might have hid them in my purse to not have to share :)

Local Flavor Swap Show Off

I have been trying for days to post this from my phone, but I guess I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do that lol. I am finally at my laptop and am able to get this up. Yay! A few weeks ago I received my box of goodies from the Local Flavors Swap hosted by Angie and Beth at Chaotic Goddess Swaps.


 I was paired with Lauren from Shooting Stars Mag. I sent her a box of Oklahoma goodies that reminded me of home and she put together a box of Kentucky and Ohio items because she lives on the border of both states. I got some awesome stuff!



These cookies were delish! I could eat them every day!



I love the towel! It's hanging in my kitchen :)



I never buy cotton scented things for my car, but this smelt sooo good. I will have to stock up!


This card is so cute!



These were also yummy. I loved the dark.


I love the shirt she sent me too!


If you want to see what I sent Lauren, go over and check it out. The Swapoween swap sign ups have just opened too! You better believe I signed up :)

Local Flavors Swap: I'm In!

It has been almost 8 months since my last swap. 8 months! 8 months too long! I've been wanting to participate since I graduated college in May, but I get side tracked and forget to sign up. This time, I made sure I remembered to sign up; I even wrote the day in my planner! Swaps with Chaotic Goddess Swaps are always so organized and fun!

So... what's the Local Flavor Swap you ask? This is the first time I have ever participated in this, but pretty much I'll be assigned a partner and send her 5 or more items that are native or remind me of home-I'm from Oklahoma, so my partner will get things from my small hometown and things from Oklahoma. They'll in turn send me a package with 5 or more items from their home. Pretty cool right?

There's still time left to sign up too! I'll include all the important dates and a link to sign up if you're interested :)
