I was worried that this week would be a disaster. This past weekend, my Fitbit Versa 2 just quit on me, black screen, non responsive. I just bought that for myself this past Mother’s Day. Don’t judge, I am a single mom of four boys. If I wanted it for my gift, I had to buy it for myself. I actually use it too, so it has been a huge adjustment to live without it.
For whatever reason my kids have been off school the past two days. I was concerned that I would come home to black eyes, empty cupboards, and huge messes. To my surprise, they haven’t been horrible. I did fantasize that I would get home from work and find their chores done, rooms clean, laundry done, folded and put away but, alas, that was not the case either. However, they are alive, they are well and they are happy. I can’t ask for much more.
Today when I arrived home from work there was a package at my door. It was not just any package, it was my Genuine by Jess box!!! Eeeek!
So, little fact about me, I was/am a HUGE Duck Dynasty fan! Something about Mrs. Kay and all her sons, her love of faith, family and food just made me feel connected. When I first saw Jess Robertson say that she was doing a box of some of her favorites, I was super excited. Then when she mentioned that the contents of the box were products from small businesses and non-profits, I knew I had to order one.
So when I saw what the package was, I knew it had to be opened without all the chaos. I got the kids doing whatever it is that boys do and put the box on the kitchen table. I think I actually held my breath as I opened the box, which is very pretty itself. It was over flowing with packing paper but I was instantly greeted by a photo of Mia Robertson on a card explaining the Mia Moo Fund and how a portion of the purchase of the box has been donated to her fund. (Made my heart smile.) One of the many things that I appreciate about the Robertson women is that they are stylish, classy but also comfortable, approachable and simple in the finest of ways. Jess’s box exudes all of those things. From the stunning Rosette Medallion Necklace to the Kind Lips lip balm to the Robertson Family Recipe Cards. This box absolutely met my expectations and I am so happy to be a part of this new venture of hers. I also found a card inside that says that she is doing a Holiday Box!!!! I probably shouldn’t have said that here as this one sold out, twice, but this is a box that everyone should purchase. I have added some photos so that you can see all the goodies inside and a picture of the front and back of the description card. I honestly cannot get over how inspiring, heart warming and sensational this box is and the support it has for others behind it.
Check out her website at GenuineByJess.com and let me know what you think when you receive your box!
Until then, let’s pray that this week continues to go smoothly and that we continue to carry light and love in our hearts. Be well!
