I have been buried under piles of laundry and stacks of things undone since the baby was born. 

I felt that I had got NOTHING finished EVER.

For someone who always got a ton of stuff finished in one day, the idea of not even being able to fold the laundry really overwhelmed me. Still does at times. 

Today I read a post by a blogger with a 5-week-old. 

She knows how to take joy in the things that she does get done and not worry about the things she doesn’t get done. Her post is one of the many reasons I started this blog. 

To those ladies out there who are still working hard to get things done… 

I announced my pregnancy to friends and my lovely readers.

I also created a set of free party circle printables. 

Made two sets of free Super Bowl printables.

This year I participated in the Lovely Package Exchange from Oh, Hello Friend.

The Lovely Package Exchange is a gift exchange with another blogger with an emphasis on packaging. I loved participating in this and had a lot of fun wrapping up a gift for Katie over at Modern Eve and anticipating the gift coming my way.  

Here is the package I sent out in the mail: 

I used craft paper, book pages, pearls and fabric roses to decorate my gift to Katie. 

Oh, and the super awesome gift box from Target.

She sent the cutest gift ever— It was such a pleasure to open!

I love the tag she added— Her writing should be a font. 

She used bakers twine, a doiley, different tissue papers and ribbon to deck out her gift to me. 

Such a fun exchange. Thank you to Katie for participating with me and to Oh, Hello Friend‘s Danni for putting on the whole shin-dig.
