Military Monday #3: Giving and Receiving (Plus a flash giveaway!)



This week's Military Monday topic is Giving & Receiving:

What has been your most meaningful or favorite military-related gift to give or receive? Did you special order something to celebrate your spouse/significant other's military achievement? Did someone gift you an amazing "wife" or "significant other" gift for being connected to our armed services?

The most meaningful military-related gift I've received was a cruise jacket while my husband was deployed in 2011. He got himself one too so we could match. He chose the patches himself to personalize the jacket. The sleeve includes all of the countries he visited during his deployment.

We both have Minnie/Mickey Mouse on the back because we're from Florida. The other patches are Support Our Troops, Navy Wife: The Toughest Job in the Navy, and my zodiac sign Libra (my birthday is in October).

Borax Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: Borax provided a free sample of their product so I could review them. However, all of the opinions expressed are my own. 

As a member of Purex Insiders, I got the chance to try out Borax. The first time I ever heard about Borax was when I was younger and my mom came across a recipe that used it. It was called Moco de King Kong (which translates to King Kong's Boogers). Pretty silly right? The recipe was basically making a cool, gooey ooze. When you're an 8 year old it is the best thing ever! 

Now that I'm older, using Borax is much more useful. Although, I probably would have fun making slime.
