Jerrica's 28th Birthday Wish List

Can we briefly discuss the year of being 27? It was somewhat challenging, but at the same time... so rewarding. Promotions, vacations, and so much happiness. I had this complex about turning 27, but I welcome number 28 with love and excitement. With that said it's time for Jerrica's 2nd Annual Birthday Wish List.

1. Clear Makeup Organizer- If you've followed at least the past month, I've accumulated quite a bit of makeup. It probably doesn't help that I have a few monthly sub boxes. The girls in my facebook makeup groups have raved about this organizer :)

2. Eye-Vac Touchless Vacuum- If you have critters- two or four legs- you need to check this item out. It's literally an automatic dustpan. 75% of my home is hardwood floors, so sweeping becomes quite the chore. With this bad boy, you just sweep it over to the opening, and Shwoosh... it's gone. Check it out here :)

3.El Dorados. I've begged everyone I know to go with me over the past week. 

4. Bunn Coffee Maker- I jumped on the single cup coffee maker train for a while, but since I was a little girl, my mamaw had a Bunn on her counter. Plus, my coffee addiction has grown since I learned to add my Atkins shake in for flavor. Check this out :)

5. Carnival Cruise Gift Card- With our 2nd cruise in October, extra boat cash is always a plus. You can pick these up about anywhere. 
 

Most of all, I would like your prayers and support. As many of you know we started our baby journey recently. After years of struggle, we have a lot of hope this round with a new doctor and already positive news. 

27 isn't too bad.

Once again, I've been missing for around two weeks or so. I try to write at least once a week, but sometimes that doesn't happen. Especially with a birthday, doctor, Poshmark, Plexus, and hair appointment in between.  Plus... I've been laptop-less- not to be confused with topless. Writing blogs is really difficult when you don't have a laptop. I tried.

Turning 27 wasn't too bad. The outpouring of love and well wishes was absolutely stunning. Not to mention, some really thoughtful, really great gifts. I was even to celebrate with food and friends TWICE.

The husband absolutely outdid himself.

Not only, will we be cruising to the Bahamas in October- I am writing to you on a fancy-smancy new computer. Since he confiscated the laptop, he knew I needed something to write my blogs, create digital cards/invitations (did you know that happens on the side?), and.... officially be able to play Sims. (I also bet you didn't know that?!)

I fully suspect this new computer will allow me to focus a little more time on all the technology-based things in my life. Prepare yourself for some grocery list, organization, DIY, pale girl, pet loving, probably some complaining blogs. Have something specific in mind? Let me know! 

I'm now patiently awaiting my staycation in June and Bahamas in October.

Jerrica's Partially Realistic Birthday Wish List

Holy smokes. In two days, it will be a full 30 days since I've posted a blog. I have no excuses except that life happens, and you have to deal with what is in front of you. I also realized next week is my birthday. I'm inching closer to 30, and I don't really like it. That is an entirely different story, for a different day.

My birthdays are usually low-key and spent with my Dad/stepmomma. Again, that thing called life changed our plans this year. Joe is pretty great at getting me a really thoughtful gift for my birthday. For the past few weeks he's been hinting around and asking what I really want. Of course, I couldn't think of a thing. Which got me to thinking.... Hello?! A wish list. Some are entirely unrealistic, but some are within reason. (Also, I'm making this list, so when Christmas rolls around I'll have a reference point. HAHA!) For the record these are in NO order (maybe except the first and last one- they might be my favorite favorites)- just typing as they come to mind.

1. A subscription to Owlcrate- There are a million monthly subscriptions out there, but this one in particular is geared towards readers, and readers who enjoy Young Adult (YA) books. Plus, they include some really awesome book related items. If you've not heard of it, it's definitely worth checking out. Owlcrate Website

2. Cricut- I just think it would be neat to have one of these, so I can sticker all of my possessions. I also need more cats on my stick family decal. (Kidding, but... really though.) I have a few friends who own one and make the cutest things! This takes my childhood sticker obsession to a whole new level. You can find more info Here :)

3. Amazon Firestick- Yes, we already own one of these, but I want one for the bedroom too! We cut cable/satellite some time ago and solely rely on Hulu/Netflix for entertainment. I've especially grown to love our Firestick in the living room. I would even take one without the voice control. If you're a prime member and you don't have one of these... you are missing out!! It is well worth the $40-50 to purchase. In case you needed help finding the link- Here :)

4. Frozen, The Little Mermaid, and/or Mary Poppins on DVD- Yes, I'm in my late 20s, and I still enjoy Disney movies. I have a few in my collection, but I am always looking to add more.

 5.Juicy Couture Crossbody- I looked at this in store over the weekend, and now... I realize I really want it. It's the softest, shiniest pink. Aghhhhh.... drool. Check it out Here :)

6. Charm Bracelet- I had a charm bracelet through middle school and high school. Then... one night at the movies the ball came loose, and I lost all but 4-5 charms. I was heartbroken. By the time I realized they were missing, the movie theater had already swept and cleaned the theater. It was forever lost.

My super, super unrealistic (for now) wish list item: KitchenAid stand mixer!!! Any color, any model.

I'm sure there are some of other items I could list, but these were the first to come to mind. For example, I didn't even include beauty related products ( because I am pretty sure I did a beauty wish list not too long ago).  Here's to counting down the days until I am one year older...
