Well I know I have been absent from the blog for a while and I apologize. It will probably stay that way for a bit longer as life with my active 6month old is getting kinda crazy. I'm hoping once she starts to take longer naps I can get back in the swing of things but I'm not sure. For now I have a post that I'm a little late getting up but wanted to make sure I gave a proper thank you for the opportunity to get to know a few new bloggers through this "event". A couple months ago I signed up for something called "Cara Box" initiated by another blogger. The purpose is to match each individual with two other individuals who have signed up to participate. Over the course of about 6 weeks you communicate through email and get to know one another. At the end of that time, one new friend compiles a box of goodies personally for you and you compile a box of goodies personalize to the other. You exchange, open and enjoy the thoughtful gifts that were put together just for you. I was matched with Melissa and Shannon. Both of these ladies were such a blessing to get to know and I am so glad I was able to participate in this exchange and have the opportunity to get to know them and start following their blogs. It's so exciting to me when I am able to meet other moms who are believers and struggling through this new territory of mommydom. I feel like I have someone who understands and can also be an encouragement.
So Melissa was the one who put together a package for me and man did she do a beautiful job!

| Here's all the goodies!! |
Her sister is a rep for Scentsy flameless candles and so she sent me a beautiful warmer and some cinnamon wax for Christmas time, some inspriational cards so I can write notes to people, a little daily devotional, picture frame, a beautiful necklace some really neat wood letters (one for Alythia and one for the family), some notebooks, EOS chapstick that I have always wanted to try and of course the coveted Starbucks card!!
I was truly overwhelmed when I got the package in the mail. She really outdid herself and it continues to make me smile! I very rarely get packages in the mail and getting one that was filled with personalized goodies for me was a major bright spot in my week! Please go check out her blog and give her some love. She is such a sweet lady and I hope to continue to keep in touch.
