If you weren't around to read my last post on the CARA Box, let me refresh your memory:
You get linked up to another blogger/participant (a few don't have blogs) and you interact with them through email, twitter, etc. to get to know them.
Every month there is a theme and this month's theme was sparkle.
I was particularly excited about the sparkle theme because sparkle is just fun! And, if I'm being honest, its one of those things I don't usually buy myself. So I was excited to see what my CARA Box partner sent me.
First let me tell you about the person I was linked up with (this time around, we gave to someone different than the person giving to us.) I was given Krista. Upon emailing her, we realized we were at very different stages of life, but had many common interests/hobbies. Krista is a mother of four and has been married to her hubby for 20+ years! I was so excited to get to know her and hear all the positive things about marriage. I don't know about any of you newly weds, but I have run into a crazy amount of cynicism toward marriage since joining the club. Any of you?
Knowing Krista is a mom of four and assuming she probably devotes the majority of her time to her family, I decided her CARA Box was going to be about pampering herself. I included one of her favorite magazines, some sparkle nail polish, lotion, and polish remover pads.(as well as a few other little gifts) I also included some fruit snacks for the kids so that they would be entertained while she had her "mom time."
Now, my CARA Box buddy did a phenomenal job. Her name is Teressa and she blogs over at Newborn Momma.
