Ok, I have all addresses, and the swap order has been determined. I tried to do it by location for time purposes so we are not shipping it back and forth across the country ten times LOL. The Instructions, item list, and addys have all been typed up and the box is ready to go out. It will go out on Monday, so the first mama should get it at the end of this week

Right on! I was thinking about that too - if each mama has it for three days, that's 30 days to start not including shipping time! Doing it by proximity is a good idea, as is the surprise of it all!
I can't wait to see who gets it first and what they decide to take!
FAT FACT:
20 years ago a standard cup of coffee was 8 ounces and had 45 calories.
Today's 16 ounce cup of "brand" coffee has 350 calories.
You need to walk approximately one hour and 20 minutes to burn off the extra 305 calories in the "brand" coffee.

I am hoping each mama can ship it off faster but yeah with 3 days each that puts us at 30-45 days with shipping time. I leave for Cali for 8 weeks at the end of June, so I am hoping it gets back here before then If not, I will have the last mama ship it to my new addy. The first mailing will take the longest as it is quite a ways from me but the rest are fairly close to each other and shouldnt take long.
Ok mamas, my mom took the box to the PO today, so it is headed to the first mama on the list. I wont spoil the surprise of who it is, but I will tell you its headed towards the east coast first The first mama should have it on Thursday. Please make sure you get DC. You dont have to post the #, just have it JIC. Inside the box there are 3 pieces of paper. The first hsa instructions and the swap order. The second is a list of the swap items, that you will cross off what you take and write at the bottome what you added, and the 3rd is an excel sheet of all of the mama's addresses.
Post in this thread when you get the box, please, and let us know what you got So excited for the first mama to get the box.
Wooohoooo I got the box today Here is what we took:
I think the Boys enjoyed this more than I did. We should do a kids one
Thanks for organizing this, Angie!
Im glad you found something in there you (well the boys) would enjoy. I tried to do a variety of stuff, from kids stuff to mama stuff, so everyone would have something that appealed to them
And I think after this one, a kids one would be awesome!
Plus, this seems to be moving super fast, which is awesome!
