Christmas Swap Box



Earlier this month I signed up with Northeast Blogger Network for their Christmas swap. I got teamed up with 2 great bloggers to exchange with.



I got so lucky and received a swap box from Amy over at Love and Hot Chocolate! It couldn't have been a more appropriate partner considering I can't get enough hot chocolate these days! Yay for pregnancy cravings. Any is super sweet. She was such an awesome and thorough partner. Plus, on the day packages were to be sent out the North East was hit with a mega storm and she sent he husband out to make sure I got my gifts on time. They arrived in 1 day and I couldn't have been happier with all the amazing stuff she picked out for me.

Look at all of these goodies!
Of course she won me over with the adorable puppy dog Christmas card!


Here are the goodies she sent:
"I Love You More"- A book for me and baby! I read it immediately to baby before opening any more of the gifts. The whole time with tears in my eyes! It was such a beautiful surprise that she also sent something for our little baby
Wash clothes for baby- The are so perfect. Of course she got the color dead on. All of baby's things are gray and yellow!!!
Chocolate Goodies- Dark chocolare covered cookies and chocolate peppermint!
Cozy Socks- They are adorable and look just like little (swollen) elf feet!
EOS lip balm- My all time favorite and not a flavor I have ever tried. I have one opened so I have to contain myself to not open this one just yet. Not the easiest task!
Pier 1 frame ornament- Although I haven't filled it with a picture just yet it is already hanging on our tree! 
Car Airfreshener, and antibacterial hand wash- Both are already staples in my Jeep.
 

Already reading to baby!
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH AMY!
You made this swap so much fun.
 
I had the pleasure of sending Katie a bunch of goodies too.
Hop over to her blog to find out what I sent her.

Happies and Crappies



The Vintage Modern Wife: Happies and Crappies Link Up


Happies:

- Having 2 days off this past week. Made the week fly by! I'm still thinking today is Tuesday. BONUS!

- Matchbox 20 concert was ridiculous! They put on such a fun show. Two hours of constant good music. Lots of their old stuff I really love! Plus, we ate out at Cuban Pete's. I've heard amazing things about this place for years and now I know why. The food was amazing! Lots of authentic options. I went with crispy shredded beef, black beans and plantains. It was a great time with my mom and my husband!

- I am surprised but I'm really loving bootcamp. It's really difficult and I'm really sore but I love the way it makes me feel. I love all the women in class and my instructor. They are all so amazing. It is such a great and empowering environment! I've never felt better doing planks, push ups and jumping rope!!!

- I made some really great spring purchases and I can't wait for the warm weather to break them out of the closet.

- I'm now a member of the North East Blogger's Network. Check out the link on my sidebar. I'm looking forward to being part of a network and meeting some new bloggers!


Crappies:

- Looking outside my window today to find THIS. Come on its March 8th!!! I'll a little worried to even drive to work in this. We are expecting 8-12 inches but tomorrow 50 degrees.


-Bootcamp was rescheduled for tomorrow morning due to weather.

- I'm getting used to waking up at 4:45 in the morning so even on days I don't have bootcamp I'm up way to early but I did get a lot done this morning. Wiped down Brian's car, made him breakfast and lunch, washed dishes. So I guess I do feel a bit accomplished today and its not even 8am.

Happy Friday everyone!!!
