I have been so incredibly busy lately! I have to actually write myself notes or send myself reminder emails to do every little thing – such as email my mother-in-law just say hello or to check something out online. I knew that being a full time student on top of working full time and having a family would not be easy, but I am seriously pooped!

I’m looking forward to the weekend. I’m getting my hair colored at the salon. I don’t think I’ve ever had my hair professionally colored before. I usually do it myself at home. I’m getting it colored chocolate brown with highlights – something else I’ve never had. It’s going to be nice to have 2 hours at the salon and “new hair” when I leave. =)

So, last week I bought a Girasol Costa Del Sol 4.4m from a lovely mama on the BC swap board. It’s the first woven wrap I’ve owned and I had it for all of a handful of days before trading it on the DS FSOT board today. I just couldn’t get into the colors. I do have another woven on it’s way (not the one I traded for) and I’m very excited about that! It’s a Didymos Lavendel Cotton Indio 4.8. Yes, it’s long, but I can do any carry in it. I am also looking forward to the shorty I traded the Gira for because I want to be able to do a reinforced rear rebozo rucksack carry! (I’ll post a video later)

Here is a picture of the Gira I just sent off to a new home:

Wow, it’s Wednesday! I guess I could use this pictures as my Wordless Wednesday post, eh? It’s not wordless by any means though, is it now? Oh, well. I’m entitled to break the rules now and then.

I’m giving away a 6 pack of Party Lite votive candles! If you have ever ordered from PartyLite then you know these are premium candles that burn for many hours and smell like heaven. If you have never ordered from Party Lite, you’ll just have to take my word for it. I’ve actually run an small experiment and burned a Party Lite votive and a votive that I bought from CVS. The Party Lite votive lasted 2 hours longer!

To the point: I love Party Lite and order candles way more frequently than I should (just ask my husband)! I’ve decided to pass on some scented goodness to my lovely readers. Every mommy deserves to have a little “candle light” time – whether you’re snuggling up with your significant other, relaxing in a nice hot bubble bath, curled up in bed watching a good movie, or just want to make your house smell scrumptious.

For a chance to win just leave a comment on this entry telling me what your favorite candle scent is. For an extra chance to win follow me on Twitter and Tweet about this giveaway including a link to my blog. For yet another chance to win, blog about this contest and link to my blog. Please let me know in the comments what you have done for your chances to win. A winner will be chosen using Random.org on September 25th and contacted by email. Thank you and good luck!
