I mentioned last week that I had a pretty busy week. I accomplished a
lot of things that I wanted to get done while fighting through some sickness
and really having to focus on my WOTY J Anywho, it was
my birthday last week and on top of that, I got a lot of cool stuff in I want
to share! First off, I entered a
giveaway over at Babblings and More for a set of their earrings for Valentine’s
Day and on my birthday, they emailed me and told me I had won! I was so
excited! I never win anything! Wait—I lie. A couple years ago, I did win some
tickets to a comedy show and a home & garden show on my birthday. My
husband and I got ready to go, dropped the kids off at the sitter, and headed
out only to discover that we never picked up the tickets L My kind of luck.
Back on subject, I received my earrings a couple days ago and they even sent me
the ring that I mentioned I liked on
their page as well! Are these not the
cutest?!
You should check them out because they have some really cute things!
They had also sent me a sample of a natural candy that one of them makes that
was delicious. You can find out all the details on their blog.
Next up is something that I showed a couple weeks ago that I wanted. A
culinary torch, which I’m super excited about. I’ll try not to go completely
pyro and burn down the house, but I can’t promise anything! My aunt sent it to
me with the stipulation that I make an awesome Crème Brulee when they get to
come out. Works for me!
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, I’m
not really sure what the way to a woman’s heart is, but if you ask me, I’d tell
you it’s through books. Of course, diamonds are always nice, too However, you
can’t escape from reality with diamonds. My amazing husband got me six (one is sitting
on my ottoman) new books for my birthday. Yes, he’s pretty perfect. Along with
several other little goodies, I think I made out pretty good!
Something I’m super excited about is the fact that my Baker’s Creek
Heirloom Seeds catalog came in! I can’t wait to go to the store/farm that’s
here and get all my seeds for our garden. Yes, we WILL have a garden this year!
No excuses this year!
Lastly, my Birchbox came in yesterday. If you’ve never heard of it, it
is a monthly subscription that costs 10 dollars for a box of “high-end” beauty
samples. They send 4-5 samples each month and normally they are pretty good.
Here’s a little walkthrough:
