I recently participated in the "Favorite Things Swap" hosted by Mamarazzi. For those of you who may not know, she runs a first class swap and I would highly recommend participating the next time another one of her swaps rolls around.
My partner for this swap was Liz and she sent me some great goodies...
She sent me a pair of oven mitts, a cute notepad, recipe cards and holder, a pie cookbook, room spray, and a water bottle. How fun! I will definitely put them all to good use! Thanks, Liz!

Thanks, Liz!Since Chris is out of town, the girls and I had a night on the town last night. We started off with dinner at Chick Fil-A...you all know how much I LOVE that place! Then, we saw the new movie "UP". We all enjoyed it a lot, but it does have some depressing moments. In fact, I almost broke down in tears a time or two! We finished up our night with a stop by Sonic for some Sonic Blasts! What a great ending to a fun evening!
Today, Abby and I lazed by the pool with one of her friends, which was heavenly! I started the book I got for Christmas..."Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks. He's one of my favorite authors. So far, so good!
Have a great rest of the weekend!

Hi April~
Love all of your swap goodies!! Sounds like you and the girls are having a wonderful "girl's weekend"!! Gosh, all of this talk about Sonic is making my crave one of their cherry limeades!! YUMMO!!
Hope you girls enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
Hugs!! Carrie♥
What a fun evening! A girl's night out!:) I wanted to join the swap, but it was closed. Maybe next time! Nicholas Sparks spoke in our area a few months ago and I almost went to go see him. He is one of my favorites, too, so you'll have to let me know how you like the book.... Lori
The swap sounds like fun!!!! I love to do those kinds of things....maybe next time!
And for your time with your girls, I give you a big thumbs up!

I just hope I can make it in to the next swap before the cut off!! LOL This has to be one of the best out there! Score on the goodies!
I can't wait to see UP! I have been anxiously awaiting its release!
Fun swap!
I have several friends who saw UP and they said they cried. John & I are hopefully going to see it tomorrow.
I've never done one of these swaps - but seeing all your great goodies makes me want to do one!! I wish we had a Chik Fil A so I would know how good this chicken is - LOL!!
I participated in a favorite things swap last year and had a ball...darn, I wish I would have known about this one.
Sounds like girls night out was lots of fun! I miss being able to do that since my daughter is at college. Enjoy it while it lasts.
This looks so fun, I'll have to try it one of these days :)
Great surprise package!
Awesome goodies sweetie.
AWESOME!! look at all that goodness!
and thanks so much for the shout out, very sweet!
Ya know, these swaps are a LOT of work, but I love when people receive their packages and love what they get. Just knowing that over 100 women all over the United States are receiving packages of awesomeness this week thrills me!! Not to mention the bloggy friendships that are forming, it’s just way too cool!
I am deciding between a Red, White & Blue Swap or another Favorite Things Swap for the end of June…did you vote? There is a poll on my sidebar
Hi April
Thanks for showing all your useful
swap goodies. What a lovely surprise.
Sounds like you are enjoying your summer already. Chick Fil A and lazing by the pool sounds wonderful.
Best Wishes

Sound like you and your girls had a glorious time!! There's nothing like a delicious sonic blast to end the evening!!
sounds a lot of fun!!
you really are lucky...
cheers!!!
I'm sorry to hear of the depressing parts in that movie. I wanted to go see it but now I'm not sure I want to! The last thing I like to do is sit in a movie theater getting all choked up over a cartoon and unfortunatly, it happens to me way too often! :)
Looks like fun, April! And boy howdy, do I love those oven mitts! I need to buy some new ones because mine are rat-ty!
Love to you on the Lord's day and every day...
XO,
Sheila :-)
The swap looks like fun -- cute stuff! Sounds like you are having a great weekend! Merit and I went to the Surf and Slide water park in town today -- it was so fun to swim and bask in the sun!
Looks like you got some great stuff!
Well, you know how I love Chick fil A. Yummy!
I just love Nicholas Sparks!
Get the tissues handy if you're reading Sparks.
I hope your hubby comes home soon! Going out with your girls is always fun too though!
What great stuff from your swap! Hope you enjoy them.
Sounds like a fun night with your girls. I'm thinking we'll have a girls night out when we go to Florida. My girls really want to see the Hannah Montana movie. I just want to spend some time with them.
