#BoyMOM Box Swap

Calling all boy moms! This post is for you!

 Are your days filled with dirt, trucks, super heroes and all things little boy? 
Then this #BoyMomBoxSwap was made with you in mind!


I still remember it like it was yesterday. Seth and I went to the OB for my 12 week ultrasound when the ultrasound tech said "do you guys want to know what you're having?"
I'm sorry, what??
I thought we couldn't find out until the 16 week appointment so I was beyond excited to know. I looked at Seth and before I think he even knew what was going on, I said "YES!" And she said...
"You're having a BOY! Congratulations!"
And BOOM! Just like that, I found out that I was going to be a BOY MOM!


 To be honest, I always envisioned that I would be a girl mom. I'm a girl. I know girl things. It just made sense. But life is funny like that and throws you a curve ball and takes you in a direction that you never thought you would be in. Regardless of the fact that I never imagined that I would be a boy mom, I would not change one little thing. I love my days as Mason's Mama. From trains to planes to reading books about diggers and dirt, my days (and nights) are filled with all things boy.

One thing I never considered as a boy mom was how few mommy and me activities are tailored to moms raising little boys. Girl moms get the luxury of mani/pedi dates, shoe shopping together, sharing each others clothes, visiting the ballet and so much more. Even Dad's get Father/Daughter dances.
But what is there for the boy moms?

Let me tell you.

As many of you are familiar with, I hosted a #BOYMOMS series last year. This series is what prompted Stephanie and I to think about a #BoyMom Box Swap. Nothing against you girl moms (we love you too!) but as you know, our little men hold a special place in our hearts. This Box Swap gives you and your little fella(s) a chance to enjoy a box filled with goodies for each of you to enjoy and share! Whether you are spending the day racin' cars, going on insect hunts or making slime, this box will give you plenty to do with you son(s).

Here are the details on our first annual #BoyMOMBoxSwap.



The value of your box should be $20 BEFORE SHIPPING. Think of things you love doing with your son(s), your favorite snacks and activities and share that fun with your fellow #boyMOM during our box swap.

  13. such a cute swap haha! bugs! slime! I think Aria has started to really live up to her girl status....her 27 month day dress I grabbed out for her approval...PRINCESS DRESS!!! And immediately started striping. And her princess playdoh...mom make punzel hair. And now bugs make her grab my leg, which is probably my fault because bugs make me freak out. I tried so hard to not in front of her, but it wasn't successful. However...dirt, might just be her fave thing ever.
