12 Days of Joy - Day 8 | The Clutch Guide Goodies

Welcome to Day 8 of the 12 Days of Joy! It has been so much fun teaming up with local businesses to offer these giveaways to my blog readers!! Of course I wanted to connect with The Clutch Guide for a giveaway because they are currently in the middle of their Buy 5 Local campaign! Jennifer talks more about it below, but I do want to mention how much I love supporting the Clutch Guide and Hill City Bride because they offer so much support to other local businesses. I consider it an opportunity to be a part of anything HCB or Clutch and this is definitely no different!

Okay... so today's giveaway is a Five Stocking Stuffers!

Here is what Jennifer, the owner of The Clutch Guide and Hill City Bride, has to say about her giveaway goods:

Buying local is always fun! You never know what you are going to find, and getting to know the store owners makes the experience all that much better. Clutch is encouraging their "Buy 5 Local" campaign where you take 5 people from your list and shop for their gifts locally. A perfect way to start is with stocking stuffers! So, continuing with the "5" theme, we have 5 stocking stuffers for $5 or less each from 5 locally owned businesses. Fun!

Enchanted Beautiful mercury glass ornament - $4 - This would make a great decoration for the outside of a gift!

Farm Basket Delicious Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip from Robert Rothschild Farm - $4 - Perfect for a foodie or any man, especially when paired with the pretzels!

Magnolia Foods Chocolate covered espresso beans - $3.39 Fun for the coffee lover or that one with a sweet tooth!

Steger Creek Aromatique "The Smell of Christmas" candle - $4.75 A fragrant way to remember the holidays!

Urban Merchant Notepad block - $4.50 - Pretty enough to carry around in your purse to jot everything down!

12 Days of Joy - Day 3 | Cherishing

The events that happened yesterday in Connecticut make this 12 Days of Joy project seem... so... trivial. I am not very elegant with words, so even writing about how heartbroken I am over the whole thing seems near impossible. I just keep thinking about the Christmas presents under the trees of those families who lost their babies... the family of the shooter... those parents who sent their children off to school probably after some silly argument about what to wear that day... having no idea the day that would unfold before them.

All of it - it's all just horrific... tragic doesn't seem like a big enough word.

I'm really, really sad about it all.

I thought about canceling the 12 Days of Joy altogether. It just seems silly to run a campaign after something like that. Work isn't important. Families are important. Cherishing your loved ones are important.

So I'm going to do just that. Today, I'm taking the day off and spending it with Tommy & Sunday. Tomorrow we'll start again on Day 4. But today... today we'll make hot chocolate and curl up together and enjoy the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree. And we will be saying a lot of prayers for those affected by the tragedy.
