hello all..
please forgive my absence the past couple of weeks and not being able to blog,
there have been some difficult burdens that have been placed on my plate that i have had to bear and i have been working through them.
God is faithful.
i have been faithfully leaning on His word, especially Hebrews 11.1
one of my daily doses and favorite promises ~

Hi everyone! I'm Kaitlyn and I blog over at Wifessionals.
Nowadays, everyone uses email and texts to
communicate. But remember a day, way back when, when you would actually get
cards and presents in the mail?
When I was in elementary school I was paired
up with different pen pals around the world. I used to love getting to learn
about another child's life and culture - and I REALLY loved getting gifts and
awesome things from them and their country.
I have absolutely enjoyed meeting tons of new
women since the start of Wifessionals. I especially appreciate the kind emails
and words of encouragement that we share with each other on a day to day basis.
So:
Cara Box
I started a monthly box swap. It has turned
out to be a lot of fun. Each month there's a different theme. Anything from a
season, to a color, to a topic (like fashion or childhood).
You get paired up with 2 other bloggers, email
back and forth to get to know each other, and crazily stalk their blog...in the
most non-creepy way.
Towards the middle of the month you create a
box or package, specifically for the woman you were paired to send to, and ship
it off to her.
Your other partner who was assigned to you,
ships your box to you!
It's like having a birthday 12 months of the
year!
You can participate as much or as little as
you choose. Need a pick me up this month? Come and join in! Don't have an extra
dollar to spare right now? Come back whenever you want!
Since you are re-paired each month, you can
come and go as you please (:

I heard about the Cara box idea from another blog and really think it is an amazing idea! I signed up in the middle of January and am SO VERY EXCITED to participate in February. You're so right that it is an amazing way to enjoy a pick-me-up and also to get to know different people, lifestyles, and personalities!
