Boy Mom Box Swap

You might remember last year when I guest posted about being a "Boy Mom" on Elizabeth's blog Chasin' Mason as part of her #BoyMoms series (you can read the full post here).  In connection with that post, Elizabeth and Stephanie (of Wife Mommy Me) put together a Boy Mom Box Swap, where us boy mom bloggers could share a few of our favorite things with another little boy (and his mama).  

Mac and I were paired with Katie and Keegan, from Top Knot Mama.  Katie is an amazing photographer, DIY enthusiast, gorgeous redhead and kick-ass single mama to Keegan (age 2).  I just discovered her through this swap and have quickly become a huge fan of her honestly, design talent and gorgeous photography.  Mac and I has a great time picking out a few of our favorite things for her and Keegan - head over to her blog and check out the box we sent them.  

But first, here's what we received in our box from Katie and Keegan!  
Katie was so sweet and threw in a few fun items for me - a couple new dish towels (that will go great in our kitchen), a notebook, a journal and a couple small boxes of fancy chocolate peanut butter cups!  She definitely knows the way to my heart! 
Of course, Mac was not impressed with the card and books and just wanted to get to the good stuff.  He scored big time with an awesome Melissa & Doug Water Wow book about vehicles, a dinosaur, some bubbles and a dump truck!  He was so excited! 

After sneaking the chocolate from me before I even realized it was gone, his next favorite thing in the box was definitely the rubber dinosaur.  The dinosaur (affectionately named "Blue Belly" by my dad) joined us for snacktime later that afternoon and was a big hit with both Mac and Papa.

Wife Mommy Me

Thank you so much, Katie and Keegan!
I hope you guys enjoyed your box as much as we loved ours!

    What a great idea and those Melissa and Doug water books are great. You can't go wrong with a dinosaur, dump truck and bubbles.

    Mac is SO CUTE! I love your pictures of him. And, I love how similar all of these boy boxes are - dinosaurs, bubbles and trucks seem to be the common theme! :)
