Next one did not come from Jo nor Kelsey. This one came from my dear friend Claire, who sent me a gift straight from Chicago. She knows me so well! She got me a Groupon for one of the restaurants we used to go a lot when she lived in Dallas and a wonderful card […]

How adorable is this next gift? Trust me, if it helps me keep the wrinkles off I will definitely pit them under my pillows. However, I fear that Gato might eat them…lol

Next gift is sweet and colorful. I haven’t drawn anything with it (yet) but as soon as I do I will blog about it.

So, the back story for the next gift is that Jo and I have always talked about taking trips together. In fact, we even had a travel scrapbook with all the places we wanted to visit (and I am sure that one day we will go there). Therefore, this gift is very fitting: How cute! […]

This one is HILLARIOUS! So, a few years ago I went to this club…don’t remember the name of the club tho, and the DJ gave me a mixed CD. I made a copy of that CD and gave it to Kelsey. Every time we traveled for coaching we would put the CD on and dance/sing […]

The package dated November 10th is here and it is a puzzle to me. Funny, delicious, yet a puzzle. It is a can of condensed milk. Perhaps she sent me because it is a staple on Brazilian pantries everywhere. Perhaps it is because I like cooking desserts with it. Perhaps I should concoct a drink […]

The second gift from my birthday gift package dated November 9th is here (pictured)! It includes a hilarious card + a Starbucks gift certificate for $25 that I will definitely use up really quickly + a big package containing this mini travel bag that I had Kelsey borrow a while ago (not pictured). This is […]

So, my birthday is coming up on November 28th and I am turning 30 years old. Even though I have a trip to DisneyWorld (my favorite place on earth) planned for that week (which also happens to be Thanksgiving break), I didn’t think it would be very special. I WAS WRONG! I was surprised by […]
