Shoebox of Love 2012 - MOTHER'S DAY PACKAGE TRAIN

[Bear25]

I love Vanilla anything. Years ago the body shop use to sell Vanilla oil purfume, everyone use to say i smelled like a birthday cake but i liked it.

I also love vanilla scented stuff! I do bake a lot of cakes so I usually smell like it anyway but it's always nice to relax in a nice tub full of yumminess!!

I like vanilla, but much prefer fruity scents. I once had a gummy bear body spray form walmart, I loved it.

[Deanc]

trying to remember all of the questions! I should have multi quoted as I went but it didn't strike me....

scorpio, november and I like the idea of horoscopes but never remember to bother with it.

I like coconut, but dislike vanilla.

Bigmomma, sorry to hear about your loss.

[MrsSunshine]

first. so VERY sorry Big Momma on the loss of your MIL were just nearing one year after of his Dad's death.. its been hard.

I love Vanilla scents. but NO bubble bath of any kind.. my body vs bubble bath = complete body rash. not fun.

hi guys, sooooo sorry haven't posted in what seems like forever!!! so much has happened that i'll give you a brief run down of the last two weeks -

MIL - really sick for a few days (she has been unwell for many years) then passed away last week. Her funeral was yesterday. Lots of my hubby's family we have not seen in over 10+ years. so there was quite a bit of catching up to do and preparing.

Kids - got sick. went to doctors and was given a prescription inhaler for our youngest who is 2. they also recommended that we get a youth mask ($45!) if you ever try getting a sick 2 yr old kid to hold still while trying to hold a mask on their face plus use an inhaler - i would love some tips!

House - recently we came to the decision of selling our house and moving. it is a sore point for us but we have high hopes for our future. anyways last week the realtor was looking at our house/property info - it turns out when we bought - there was a clerical error and our property was entered for NORTH BAY, ON. Same property description, similar street address (# and street name) but very different cities. (we live west of barrie, on) Anyways it took about a week to sort through as technically we werent allowed to sell our house because we didnt own it?! We are now trying to get ready for showings - URGH! (with small kids, im gonna hate this)

School - I decided to try to upgrade my education and change career paths and apply for college. I had applications packages due last week. I had to ship via Canada Post, with their overnight Priority Post. It didnt make it. According to their website there was no one to accept mail, so a notification card was left and someone from Sheridan College was suppose to go to a CP depot and pick it up. When I called CP they told me - sheridan college did not have a mail/ shipping/receiving department to accept packages. I freaked. needless to say - sheridan college got their parcel the following day. The day after, sheridan college had me withdrawn from ALL programs due to another clerical error. . . . several phone calls later I was candidate again for various programs. now waiting to hear if I get accepted

Work - dont want too even start . . . .

I know i havent posted or anything but my buddy is always in the back of my mind hopefully this upcoming week things will have quieted down and I can get everything ready!

hope everyone is having a better go at things!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, momma....

As for the inhaler, a pharmacist told me to use it while the little one is asleep. Less squirming, I guess!

My little guy is SOOO strong whenever I try to give him an inhaler.... or a haircut.... or well, anything that he doesn't wanna do! Lucky for me, he'll take medicine like a champ!! Actually comes running when he seems me measuring it out.

[MrsSunshine]

I only have one last thing to do before I prepare my buddies package.

[hogama]

P.S. Could mail day hurry up as my package is out growing the box I have...

Sorry!!! The whole point of this train is to send your gift for your secret buddy for Mother's Day.... if you send it early, I'm sure she's not going to save it until Mother's Day.... I know I wouldn't!! I've been known to bust open my packages while sitting in my car at the Post Office.......

Gotta be firm about this one rule, ladies!!! haha

[YellowTamborine]

Bath and Body works has a Jasmine Vanilla sent that is unbelievably fantastic! I'm typically not a huge vanilla fan but i LOVE that stuff!

PS Buddy, my husband ate your chocolate yesterday bah! This kind of surprises me because i bough at least one kind that i never would have thought he would like....no worries though more shopping trips planned before mail date. I would never dream of leaving you without chocolate!
