Nautical July Cara Box

Cara Box is a fantastic inspirational gift swap hosted by Kaitlyn over at Wifessionals.
Every month she pairs you with two bloggers and you send a box of gifts to one and the other sends to you! It is a lot of fun! Head over to Kaitlyn’s blog to check it out is you want to sign up for August’s exchange.

This month’s theme is Nautical! I love the beach so this was a lot of fun for me. When I looked at the pairings, I laughed because I was sending a box to Jenny over at the Nanny Diaries. Jenny sent to me back in April.  I loved that I get the chance to send to her this time! I had such a blast planning what to send to her.

Jenny is such a sweetheart and she recently decided to go back to school so I included some things that would help her on her journey. I hope you enjoyed everything Jenny! You are such a sweetheart and I know you will do great in school! Check out what I sent her here!

Dara from Not in Jersey sent a box to me. I have enjoyed getting to know her and she has the cutest kiddos. I may have embarrassed myself by mistaking her youngest for a girl! She says it happens all the time and he is getting his haircut this month. Sorry again Dara!   Dara and her family recently went to Disney World. They drove from their home in Kansas all the way down to Florida. Plus made a stop in Atlanta to tour the Weather Channel studio since her brother works there. It looked like it was such a fun trip! 

Here’s my box from Dara:

Edited to add this caption of what was in my box from Dara! That really cute anchor necklace that I have worn every day since. Naughty Nautical Essie nail polish, a  journal and note cards with a sailboat that says Sail towards you dreams, a star fish air freshener that smells heavenly and really makes me long for the beach, and a tiny basket filled with tiny star fish. I loved this theme as the beach is one of our favorite places! Thanks again Dara!

Thank you so much Dara! You created a fabulous box of goodies for me! It also came on my birthday, but we weren’t able to get to the post office in time to get it. So my birthday was extended until Monday since my parents gifts hadn’t come yet either. (Our anniversary was also July 21!) So this past week has just been full of fun surprises in the mail!
