Picnic Basket Box Gift Idea and Caprese Salad {GlobeIn}

Picnic2_650
Happy Friday! I hope everyone has everything almost done for the holidays! We baked cookies yesterday, the gifts are wrapped and today I'll be going to the grocery store and prepping food for my family that is coming over on Christmas Eve. 

Today I want to share a really neat subscription box company with you called GlobeIn. Their boxes would make a great gift idea for a hostess gift, January birthday (because it can be SO hard to gift someone after the holidays!), to cheer up a friend or just for yourself!

Every piece in the GlobeIn box empowers women artisans around the world through job creation and fair wages.

There are SO many boxes to pick from. The box that I selected was the Picnic Basket Box. 

They had several other great boxes, though:

The Cozy Box (Left) and The Memory Box (Right)

You can click on each box to see what the handmade contents are and many of the boxes have great reviews and photos that tell you more about the quality and fine details of the box.

Here is what I received with the GlobeIn Picnic Box. On the website it said that colors would vary, so I received a different plaid print for my picnic basket blanket than you'll see on the site.

With this box I received:

Peace Picnic Blanket
Wood Travel Cutting Board
Painted Travel Cup
Bottle Basket


All of these were great items and I will put them to use! I know it is the winter now, but we have a lot of picnics on the floor at home when we can't picnic outside!

The wood travel cutting board is what sold me on this box! I decided to dress it up with a simple caprese salad. I placed fresh tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil and some garden seasoning on top. Delicious and perfect for a picnic!

The painted travel cup is pretty and will work great for travel and at home!

You'll see that the picnic blanket is waterproof on the backside, which is perfect if the grass is a little dewey!

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...

Kitchen Overhaul Part IV - THE REVEAL

No, I'm not finished... is anybody ever finished?? lol I still have two walls & the ceiling to paint and the floor to refinish BUT pretty much everything else is done! Welcome to my quest to create a light, bright farmhouse kitchen from a room with no windows, 4 doorways, un-salvageable original cabinets and a miserable 3' of counter space.  The only thing going for the space was the oak floors.
