Christmas In July

Happy Thursday Foxy Friends! Today I have a special. Last year The Blended Blog ladies did a Christmas in July and we decided to repeat it again this year! So funny, we use this program called Elfster, have you used it before? It's a free program, you enter in everyone's email address, then they accept the invite and then Elfster partners everyone up, and it stores everyones mailing address and a wish list if they put stuff in it. It's super fun because then everyone gets someone different and no one knows, who got who.

So guess who Elfster drew for who got me? Yep, that's right Lana again! I think we're meant to be Besties, even Elfster knows it. I wear the necklace she got me last year weekly, if not a few times a week. This year she got me the best gifts, and things I wouldn't have bought for myself!

First thing's first, the card. Super cute right? Andrea bought these for everyone on our Toronto trip. I ALMOST sent my Blended Blogger this same card, hehe.

Such sweet sentiments.

First thing I opened were these super cute earrings. I have been wanting to get a pair of tassle earrings but haven't because...I'm not sure why. Glad that Lana did it for me.

How perfect is this shirt? Expect to see it on the blog soon!

And this, super fun, but I don't know if I have the stomach to particpate in doing it. The kids on the other hand? Are all over this and can't wait to try it!

Now head on over to Whitney's blog to see how I spoiled her this "Christmas" or hop on over to The Blended Blog to see who got who and what everyone got each other!

Christmas In July with The Blended Blog

Hello Foxy Friends! I have a great way to start off a Monday morning...it's The Blended Blog Christmas Exchange. What better way to start off a Monday? We use Elfster, have you used that before? I've used that for several different groups of friends, it's super easy and the computer tells you who is exchanging with who, super easy.

This time I drew Nicole, I was super excited because Nicole has been working super hard with her weight loss journey and I was happy that I could help her celebrate by sending her some fun things. Go check out her blog to see what I got her!

Now onto mine. The sweet Lana from the Pacific Northwest drew me. I just adore Lana and her family and how cute they all are. Her boys are doing fantastic and I hope that I raise my kids to be just like hers, they are the sweetest boys. Can you say that about boys, shhh, don't tell them I said that.

Anyway, I opended up the package and everything was wrapped! How cute and in fun floral prints.

After opening them I found these wonderful things.

The card was just too sweet.

The local made soap, oh my goodness I wish you could all smell how heavenly it smells! Seriously! I can't wait to start using it!

And the jam, yum! I haven't opened it yet, Deena sent me some of her local jam and we're still going through that, but as soon as it is gone, this is being opened STAT! Oh and I'm not sure if you knew Lana but Strawberry Jam is my favorite!

And the necklace, so stinkin' cute, what more is there to say?

Now go check out what everyone else exchanged!

Christmas in July

I know another post in the same day. What is going on here?! It just so happened that I'm participating in two different things and they both happen to fall on the same day, so you get me twice, not sure if that is good or bad, I'm going to chose good thing.

The lovely ladies Courtney @ Sweet Turtle Soup and Jenny @ The Chronicles of We put together a Christmas in July Swap. How fun to get something from an awesome Mama in July.

I got a gift from Jasam @ The Opulent Owl. She sent this awesome box:

Baby Fox wanted to open the box with his new scissors...

don't worry he just wanted to take the picture of him using them, I actually opened the box.

Once the box was open, Baby Fox could hardly contain himself, wondering what was in the box.

Water Balloons, he couldn't wait to try this out!

Cheers, margarita glasses for some fun drinks, although Baby Fox has claimed them as his and drinks milk and water from them.

Cheers!

Some silly puddy like stuff, we haven't had a chance to open it, but it sure does look fun!

He kept saying, wow, this is so cool! Look at this Mommy, this is for me?!

Jasam was so generous and we loved everything! Thank you for such a thoughtful gift from a new friend.

He was trying to use his safety scissors to get into it, I suggested his other ones.

Go check out Crystal @ Mason's Mama to see what I go her.
