Hauls Upon Hauls: Part 1, Christmas!

This is going to be a three part Haul series detailing everything I have received or bought from my Birthday on December 15th to just lately!

From Co-Workers
  • Beautiful Day Lotion from Bath and Body Works
  • Christmas Earrings
  • Candle from Walmart - I had actually looked at buying this, so I am happy I got it!
  • Snowman socks from Walmart and Earwarmers from Walmart both of which aren't pictured only because I couldn't find them... but I do like them!

  • Minion Peeps!


From Kaitlyn (aka my best friend ever!)
  • Oahu Bath and Body Works Shower Gel - I have the rest of the set, and this completes it!
  • Green and Purple Box - This might seem kind of odd, but I love little pointless boxes and bags :)

and I filled it with my love notes and paper bird from Maze :)
  • Cupcake Cook Book - It is amazing there are still ones I do not have…


Neighbors (who we have basically adopted as part of our family)

  • Slipper Socks
  • Battery Operated Tealights

  • Two Faded Glory Scarves from Walmart


Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins

  • Lace Cardigan
  • Cupcake Book - When I got this, I started looking through it and saw a whole section on how to make faces on cupcakes! I yell out “This book shows you how to make people!” Because my family is very sarcastic and goofy, the book was was immediately taken and inspected.  My cousin says “I always told you not to make people!”


From Grandparents (Both sets)

  • Purple Colombia Coat
  • Purple Boot Socks

  • Orange and Brown Scarf
  • Vanilla Bean Noel Perfume from Bath and Body Works

From “Santa”!

  • Brown Boot Socks
  • Planner from PlumPaperDesigns on Etsy - This is not pictured, because it actually has not come yet… When it finally comes and I start using it, I will do a while post on it :)
  • Camera Set - I wasn’t so sure what i though about this at first to tell the truth. It seemed like a really nice camera that came with a bag and everything, but I hadn’t asked for one, and when I take pictures I usually just use Mom’s amazing camera! So I had really considered returning it, and putting the money towards a new laptop for college, but i decided to try it out first.  I took it to a Carolina Basketball game, and then am using it now, but I’m still not completely settled on it! What do you all think?
  • Stuffed Simba :)
  • Earbuds - Desperately needed new ones, pictured in Simba's ears :)
  • Brown Boot Socks
  • Snackeze from AsSeenOnTV - I really couldn’t figure out why I got this, and then I used it, and I was sold :)
  • Maleficent DVD - Love this movie!
  • Cupcake Towels and Oven Mitt Set - Going in my hope chest for my future house :)
  • Love Comes Softly Series, final two movies
  • Message/NIV Bible - I know a lot of people don’t agree with different translations of the Bible, and even after specifically picking this one out and reading in it I’m still not sure I do! But as a study tool, it is the most useful thing I have ever had!
  • Pink Pepper Spray - Present from daddy :)
  • Home Free CD - If you have never heard of them you need to go find them!! They are an all men, country a cappella group! (Not pictured because it is in my car and it is snowing outside at the moment! :O)

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to  6:00-12:30 ...  That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.   As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life...  This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...

2014-2015 Plum Paper Planner!

This is my new  Plum Paper Planner , and is most definitely one of my favorite possessions right now!  It came packaged like this...  I got  this  design, and added on an extra six months, making it an 18 month planner.  That was the really cool thing about this company, everything is customizable.  You can get your name and monogram on certain planner designs for free, you can add extra months like I did, add extra notes pages, budget pages, and more!  The standard planner with an extra six months was $48.75, which was pretty expensive... but it was a Christmas present, and will last me through the first year of college, so I could justify it! It has tabs on the side, which are laminated and reinforced  One of the first pages in the planner is a full 2015 planner, and on the next pages a 2016 calendar.  Each month begins with two note pages, which...
