The Spring 2014 Cara Box had a "hometown" theme. I was paired with  Rachel from Valparaiso, Indiana and Tiffany from Alabama. I had so much fun putting together a box full of SC goodies for Tiffany and Rachel seriously killed it with the box she sent me. Here's what was included: 1) a custom designed onesie for Joseph that she had made at her husband's family's sporting goods store. This is amazing, y'all! I mean, Mary calls me Tiffasaurus Rex. It's appropriate that JoJo has a dino nickname as well. Also, I've often said that JoJo loves dinosaurs! 2) adorable earrings from Uncommon Handmade, an Etsy shop based in Indiana. Earrings are my favorite way to dress up an outfit. I love these! 3) homemade lemon sugar scrub! Yum! I think I'll use this to give my feet some TLC. :) 4) The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, an Indiana author. I've been wanting to read this for a while now! 5) Orville Redenbacher popcorn. It ...

Like I've said before, I just love Cara Box! It's so nice to get to know other lovely bloggers and I just love making care packages. My two lovely partners for this round were Stephanie and Tracie. I sent  Stephanie a Cara Box  and  Tracie  sent me this one! So, I had big plans for taking great photos of the amazing Cara Box that Tracie sent me, but I've been neck deep in my new obsession (project life!) and Bella and I have devoured the box by now, so.... Onto the contents of this seriously incredible box. 1. A pair of earrings. Love these! They're gold & silver and I actually really like to mix my metals. And I really really love me some earrings. :) 2. Fleece lined tights. Um, hello. Black tights? Pregnant lady? Match made in heaven. LOVE that they are fleece lined because it's getting colder here, y'all! 3. Cinnamon bun candle. Love. I've been burning this constantly. This is the first year that I've burned fall-scented ...

This was my first month participating in the Cara Box exchange  over at Wifessionals and I am SO glad I decided to join. I heard about it ages ago on other blogs, but August was the first exchange I signed up for. I LOVE making and sending care packages and that's kind of what a Cara Box is! Cara means "beloved friend" and when you sign up for the Cara Box exchange, you get paired with two lovely ladies. One of whom you will send a box, the other who will send you a box. I got paired with Megan at Grad Student Needs A Hobby and Ashley at Splash of Ashley . I had so much fun getting to know these two ladies! This month's theme was "Seasons of Life." Ashley sent me the most wonderful and thoughtful box! Packed full of things that are perfect for this momma-to-be! I pretty much love everything that was in the box. Two LUSH bath bombs: French Kiss and Honey Bee! Yeah! I have never tried any product by LUSH as the nearest place to purchase is ...
