Mother's Day Exchange


This is my second year participating in one of my favorite blogger exchanges, the Mother's Day Exchange. I think all moms can agree that most of day to day life is all about the kids. I go to Target and find myself spending more time browsing monster trucks than nail polish and candles. If we're at the mall shopping for clothes I'll walk away with a bagful of toddler clothes and zero women's items. It's not even deliberate, it's just once we had kids my brain shifted and now I naturally gravitate toward kid's stuff. So it's much much appreciated when someone else takes the time to pick out a few of my favorite things. Especially when that someone happens to be my most favorite blogger of all, Courtney over at Sweet Turtle Soup. She is just the sweetest, most thoughtful person. Knowing that I like books, she actually went out of her way to scope out my Goodreads list and pick a book that's been top of my list for about a year that I still haven't gotten around to buying for myself. I'm already a third of the way through and I LOVE it. And you better believe those bath bombs are getting used this weekend. A little pampering and relaxation is the best way to spend Mother's Day, if you ask me. Thank you so much Courtney!!

Also, a huge thanks to Courtney and Liz for organizing this exchange. Not only did I have so much fun opening up all my sweet gifts, but I also loved getting to know a new-to-me blogger, Ashley over at Everything's Hunky Dorey. I had so much fun picking out Ashley's gifts and sending a little happy mail package her way. Be sure to head over and check out what she got.

And to all the mom's, have a great weekend being spoiled and pampered and loved on by your littles. Happy Mother's Day!

  5. The scented book marks started off the entire box!! I was like these are cute, so naturally you needed a book to go with it =) I'm glad you are loving the book so far. Chris was like that looks terrible, and I was like that is because you like reading books about dragons. I hope you like the bath bombs I passed by that dang lush store TWICE and forgot to check those out. Happy Mother's Day weekend!!
