The Pampered Ladies Package Train

[Trinimoneysaver]

Sheesh...my headache is now gone and I thought I would backtrack and read stuff I missed. I wish I saw this earlier so I could have asked for the mason jars because I also use chia seeds but have them in the zippered bag that they came in and it falls over everytime I open the cupboard...lol! Always wanted to try matcha but I'm chicken

Mine was seriously hard to think of!
Thought of the things that I really enjoy though, here are a few examples...

Indulgence Items;;
Cold Cup With Straw - 12oz
Mason Jars - to store my hemps seeds, chia, wheat germ, tea leaves, etc.
Cake Pop Kit (saw them on clearance at starbucks. LOL )

Me Time Items;;
Matcha Green Tea Powder
Recipe Box
Blank Recipe Cards
Funky Apron

Mommy Only Items;;
Skinny Girl Cosmo -- I'll need this daily if I am to survive the terrible two's. I thought it was just some urban legend. LOL.
Feminine Wipes/Wash
Dried Fruit -- Pineapple is my FAVE.

Pampering Items;;
Full Leaf Tea
any Hemp Body Products
Essential Oils
Incense
Handmade Soaps


Of course I put stuff for DH, DS and my fur baby as well.

If I found a $20 I would probably get a pizza or groceries or something unoriginal like.

ps. Are we finding out who are person is tonight? tomorrow? I am getting overally excited

I`m thinking tomorrow. We`re just waiting on one wishlist. And I need to hear back from Jez to make sure I didn`t pair anyone up with someone they have recently sent to.

I may go ahead and start sending wishlists out to some people who I know have the `right`buddy, just to speed up the whole process, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not post in the thread saying that you have your buddy or give any information about your buddy until all buddies have been given out.

caramilk coolers???!!!! want some!

They are sooooo good! Peachy got me hooked on them from the last Mother's Day train!

Side note - hubby didn't bring me any but I am going to get some on Sunday because the LCBO near my auntie's house always has them!

My son is 2 and has started noticing me taking coupons off the sample source hangers, etc. So we were in the store the other day, I just needed to grab a gallon of milk, so he's trotting beside me. He noticed the hardware for the $1 off Ahoy chewy cookies and rips them all off, and hands them to me grinning from ear to ear, he was so proud!

So if anyone needs any $1 Ahoy chewy, LOL ... kidding! I put them back! There was like 100 coupons!

On a side note, maybe with that $20 I should put it towards an iphone or smart phone so I can take pictures of these moments. I have a "dumb phone" a flip phone that's still pay-as-you- talk. I know! Archaic! But DH says with no full time job, no fancy phone!!

i just updated from a 7 year flip phone to galaxy S3!

Sooo...buddy....here's the post where I'll be answering all of my questions!

1.) Do ya'll get Mother's Day presents(other than the ones your kids make at school?) ? Flowers?
This is my first Mother's Day so we'll see what happens. We have a bit of a deal though that Valentine's Day is not a necessary holiday (he actually HATES it and I kinda feel like it's a bit of a gong show myself). Mother's Day/Father's Day however, are "to be observed"...I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to do that for their mom/kids' mom to be honest.

2.) Buddy do you any favourite Easter chocolates that I could pick up for you on the post Easter sales?
Anything but cream eggs...caramel eggs are fab.

3.) Buddy do you want anything from Michaels?
Hmmm...Yes! I have some serious Michael's needs due to the whole wedding thing! Here's my list:
- disposable icing bags (the bigger size, not the smaller ones)
- table seating cards (they're the traditional folding style, but they're made of chalkboard paper with a thin white border on it)
- a roll of wide white satin ribbon (to help decorate Alexa's wagon with the flowers I have for it! )
- sock yarn (two rolls of the same dye lot please!)...this isn't wedding related, more of a "me likey"
- knitting stitch markers

4.) What size are your feet?
9 - 10

5.) What is your favorite color?
Typically blue, but I've really been enjoying teals and turquoises as of late

6.) Are there any books you want? Any specific titles/authors/genre?
Gone Girl in paperback
Let's Pretend This Never Happened, in paperback please if it's out

7.) Do you have an E-Reader?
I have an iPad that I use the Kindle app on. I enjoy Kindle books, and I also enjoy dinosaur books although with Alexa's 7pm bedtime, Kindle books are the way to go these days since I can't use a light beside the bed (Alexa sleeps in our room).

8.) What are your family's names and birthdays?
Pam - March 31
Don - May 23
Alexa - October 17

9.) How do you feel about knit dish cloths? Homemade socks?
Love and unsure

10.) Is there anything from The Body Shop you would like?
I love all of the Body Shop tea tree oil facial products and mango or satsuma body scrub/butter...peppermint foot scrub, almond or hemp hand/nail care products, sea weed facial line...oh, the list goes on.

11.) How tall are you?
5'9"

12.) If you found $20 and had to spend it on yourself, what would you buy?
Today? A friggin' manicure. Poor mommy needs a baby break!

Things I forgot to put on my wishlist:
- Vileda cleaning cloths (the yellow ones)

what about a head lamp? Bahaha someone suggest that to me, so I had to pass it on. I just wait til she falls asleep now the turn the light on the lowest setting.

[MrsSunshine]

agreed. no problem Nat.. go ahead.

[shawlightning]

can't wait to get my buddy!!!! going to the city next week so would like to get some shopping done there!!!!!!!!!!!

but i am patiently waiting...............................

[couponsrule]

if you found $20 and had to spend it on yourself, what would you buy??

I think it would be Physician's Formula blush and some eyeshadow...I HATE paying for that stuff!

[chesterjes]

HA HA HA I made myself a very similar deal! I love my ink, but need some more

I agree...i love my ink and have a few more in mind

[chesterjes]

I don't know why I bother either, especially since most of the time my 2 oldest run around in just their underwear=) The rule is that when we have company they have to wear pants, and my oldest literally takes his pants off as soon as people walk out the door!

my DD hates wearing clothes also and we have the same kind of rule lol

[shmeelady]

Don't get me wrong in the earlier post -my inlaws are great (most of the time anyway )....however.....a little bit of time with them goes a long way. Given they live in England we never expected to take them in. We are currently caregivers for my Grandfather (who already lives with us) and love him to bits -but it is exhausting being on call 24/7, 365. We've only recently found a nice balance to life, and it really feels like my inlaws are turning that upside down.

buddy question.....
if you found $20 and had to spend it on yourself, what would you buy??

Ummmm. I'd likely save it for scratch tickets or starbucks, lol. My guiltiest pleasure of all is a grande skinny caramel macchiato. *drools*
I save my tips from work for my starbucks during the week. I only get starbucks if i walk there, which takes 20min or so. In my eyes the walk evens out having the drink. LOL.

what a cool idea! Those chipits are a small fortune sometimes.

I buy the Easter Bunnys for baking. Way cheaper then choc chips!!

[Momto2Ks]

Caramilk coolers sound yummy!!!

I am in a much better mindframe today. Thanks for all your supportive words. Sometimes I just need to give me head a shake and get out of the poor me mood. I went tonight and spent 2 hours making cards! So much fun and I learned a new technique.

Looking forward to getting my buddy and getting some shopping done this weekend

This train is going to be good for a lot of us and help with self image.

[hijinx25]

Oooo! Do tell! I just bought a Cuttlebug today from Michaels because I plan to do the same!! Hopefully will open an etsy shop!
