Don't you just love this time of year?! I thrive in cold weather and I'm so excited to start wearing scarves and riding boots again. I swear, I was born in the wrong place; I was not meant to be a southern girl!

Of course, I can't wait to hang the stockings and decorate the Christmas tree either! This is the first Christmas in our new home and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else! This year, it'll just be us and our three fur babies: Zoey, Firefly, and Tucker :)

With the holiday season, comes presents! And if you know me, then you know that I can be a hard person to shop for! That's why I decided to start creating these online wish lists! So, if you are looking to buy me something this holiday season, just stick to the list and you can't go wrong!

Earlier this year, I signed up to be a part of the Chronic Illness Bloggers Network and it has been one of the best decisions that I could have made! I've met a great group of bloggers, found an awesome support group, and connected with some amazing businesses!

And while that's all fine and dandy for me, it's time to give back to you! So, the CIB Network has banded together to put together their first holiday giveaway and I've got to say, it's pretty amazing!

Between all of us and all of our wonderful sponsors, we've managed to craft 11 different prize packs valued between $400 and $600! In them, you'll find e-books, products, services, gift cards and more!

Plus, if you're the lucky winner of Prize Pack Three, you'll get one of my Charmed by Simplicity Surprise Packs. Inside you'll find three to five pieces of jewelry handmade by me, with a value of $50 to $120! And of course, all the other prizes listed in that prize pack as well!

Product Reviews:

Thanks to this wonderful network, I have had the chance to test out a few of the items we're giving away and I've compiled a list of my reviews for you!

And for the products that I can't attest to, I can say that I've been wanting to try them and that I've heard great things about them! But don't just take my word for it, check out the CIB Network's Blogger Directory and check out those blogger's reviews too!
