It was my birthday last week. However, yesterday it felt like it was all
over again. In the mail I received not one, but two lovely gifts from two amazing
women. It is no secret I am a huge fan of old fashion mail, but receiving parcels
is heaven!
The first is a Raw Food Recipe Book, which Bella from Sea and Salt gave
me, The Art of raw Living Food. The second parcel contained Natural Instincts Baby Range
In the middle of the chaos of moving home, I was thinking how wonderful
this blogging community is. So I wanted to stop packing (well who blames me, no
one enjoys packing) and hop on her to say thank you to two women who underline
why I love blogging. No, not the giveaways, but the sense of community.
How lovely :) Happy extended birthday ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like being 45. But even more I love getting mail. So it was such a bonus!
DeleteHappy birthday for last week! I agree with you, the blogging community is just wonderful x
ReplyDeleteI have had such a positive experience with the blogging community. It does my heart proud of how many inspiring creative types there are out there who share their world with others.
DeleteHappy Birthday Sweets.
ReplyDeleteI so get what you mean and what you feel about the sense of community. I'm being blown away by the kindness and sweetness of others, especially and even more so in the last three weeks since having bubs.
Enjoying those lovely gifts and products. X
It blows my mind. I started my blog as I felt isolated after having Jarvis. I know no one my age who has a baby, most women my age are becoming Grandparents. I was good to connect to other Mums. But also like minded women, women who like sewing, thrifting, living a meaningful life.
DeleteHappy happy belated birthday, I hope it was as wonderful as you despite being in the process of packing.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice day. Tamika took a half day off work and took me out to lunch. Then had dinner with the family that night at a Mexican restaurant. Oh and don't forget the Basking N Robbins birthday cake!
DeleteHa ha...I didn't realise that Jarvis was so dedicated to moisturiser...it really is perfect for him then!
ReplyDeleteDedicated is almost an understatement. After each shower, full body massage with moisturiser. Before each sleep/nap he wants his hands and feet moisturised, and he will often come up to me with hand cream and climb on my lap asking me do his hands. He will also do the same with Tamika, get a bottle of moisturiser and go lay on her, as if to say pamper me! Justin calls him the pampered Prince.
DeleteI love good old fashioned snail mail too and even better when it is treats and not bills. I'm looking forward to receiving my Raw food copy that you kindly nominated me for. Thanks so much. How good do the Baby Organics look?! Elaina xo
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you get it and we can all see which are the best dishes.
DeleteI LOVE snail mail and packages <3
ReplyDeleteSome times I think I buy stuff off Ebay just so I can get parcels in the post
DeleteOh Julie, I am truly touched. Thank you for your kind words and for sharing so much with us through your thoughtful blog.
ReplyDeleteBella @ Sea and Salt xx
Much love to you all and happy belated birthday. x
