I’m so glad I decided to participate in the Sweetheart Swap that Meg and Kristin hosted.  Everything in my package was perfectly tailored to ME!  Maybe Jessica is a great gift gifter, or maybe I’m just unbelievably easy to buy for because I’m pretty good and sharing what I LOVE and the entire world usually knows.

Jessica blogs over at Pretty Physicist and she was a sweetheart {ha Sweetheart Swap}! I enjoyed getting to know her and learning about her love for all things London and the fact that she, too, loves Reese’s (or the peanut butter part anyways)!  — Then again, who doesn’t love Reese’s?  You know what, don’t tell me… I may not want to be your friend!

Here is what Jessica got me!

A Dumbledore’s Army key chain.  Yes, please, I would LOVE to be a part of Dumbledore’s Army!

Also on my keys: Mace, Disney Dopey, Monogrammed ribbon, Korean gift, flashlight, and the obviously – keys!

Deathly Hallows Necklace.  Seriously, LOVE this necklace!  I’m a Harry Potter nerd, late to the party, I know.

Reese’s Hearts.  I kind of KNEW that I’d get Reese’s.  I always know.  It’s sad really that I love this candy so much… I can’t remember a box from a blog friend that didn’t involve Reese’s… seriously, it doesn’t happen in this life!  I’m not complaining though!  These babies are getting me through the work week.  All I need — Reese’s and Water — Fueled up!

Do you ever have those moments in life where you’re overjoyed with something?
It could be a product you just started using with which you fell in love.
It could be an old friend with whom you got to spend quality time.
It could be a new blogger you started following.
It could be a specific moment in time that you wish you could re-live.

I have those moments ALL.THE.TIME!  I get excited about a new product and I want to share it, I spend girls night with some BFFs and I giggle thinking about the memories we made, I start following a new blogger and just wonder where the heck she (or maybe he) has been all my blog life!

Meg and I both had this similar realization one day, so we decided to start a link-up that showcases all of our favorite things – month to month.  It’ll be super fun and super easy.

Feel free to grab our button, link-up with us on the last Wednesday of February (the 26th), and have fun!

But wait, maybe you’re a “wanna be” blogger without a blog or maybe you really do find 1,000 favorite things throughout the month and you don’t necessarily want to devote an entire post to all of those things?  Well join in on the fun with Instagram!  We’re using #bloggerbliss to document our favorite things throughout the month, so you should too!

Go ahead and jot down the last Wednesday of the month in that blog editorial calendar that I know you have lying around (or maybe just make a note in your phone… err head?) and come back to link-up your favorite things post while seeing what other bloggers are raving about too!

This weekend was a good weekend.
The weather was BEAUTIFUL.  The company was EXCELLENT.  My buns are SORE.

Friday night wasn’t much of anything.  I stayed at home and watched TV and did some blogging.  I entered probably way too many giveaways and set myself up to believe that I’ll at least win ONE of the cash pots I entered haha.  I even started making a giveaway spreadsheet with what type of giveaway I entered, the date it ends, and the link back to the giveaway post.

I also decided to start the 30 day squat challenge that I heard about from Michelle.  I started watching CSI:NY last week and it’s nice because I don’t really care about “keeping up” with it, but I like having it on and I can zoom in and out of the show depending on what I’m working on.  It helps get me through my squats right now too!

Saturday, I woke up and all of a sudden bloomed productivity.  I washed some clothes, did more blogging, and went on my first run in a long time.  It was 30 minutes and it was good.  My sisters came into town and we did some shopping.  I purchased 2 new pair of work pants and I love them.  I’m so excited because I’ve been getting way too much use out of my one pair of black pants.  I finally have variety.  We also made tacos for dinner.  I chose mushroom, onion, and bell pepper for my taco filling!
