Cara Box Exchange

I had the wonderful experience of participating in what is called a Cara Box Exchange. It is where blogging and non-blogging women can connect and exchange a care package to each other. I loved getting to know two girls throughout this month and getting to connect with them. ( I got to know a girl through email and make a box for her based on the theme of the month and also by finding out what she likes. Then a girl gets to know me and creates a box for me. That is how you get to know two girls every month.) I also loved getting to go shopping for someone else and find things that I was hoping she would enjoy. It was exciting to know that a box was coming for me as well and wondering what little treasures she would come up with. 

This is my Cara Box that I got in the mail last week. My partners name is Aukele (I mean how pretty of a name is that.) She included the cutest hand made note explaning what everything is. She knew I loved to bake so she got me the cutest cupcake kit with the July's theme Nautical  I am so excited to use them at our family reunion. Also included is some super adoreable straws and nail polish that go along with the Nautical theme. I absolutely LOVED that she included these two homemade seasoning and macadamia nut peanut butter from her home state of Hawaii. (It was super hard not to be jealous that she lives in Hawaii while I live in good ole Ohio : / ) She also made me the most beautiful handmade nautical water painting but the day it arrived in the mail it rained here and they left the envelope on my front porch! I was so looking forward to putting it in a frame and was so bummed to see it ruined. 

I loved participating in this exchange and can not wait to do it again! I loved how the rules were set up and that there is a $15 minimum. It can get a little pricey especially with two little babies at home but since I am a 24/7 Mommy I loved having something for myself and getting to know other girls and without having to find a babysitter and leave my precious babies!

Hoping that you all have a blessed weekend 

I hope to post more on this blog when I get the hang of this whole blogging thing.
