Giving Thoughtfully

November 12, 2016 By Marta Darby

Do you know what’s better than receiving a super thoughtful gift in the mail? (Maybe some fresh baked homemade Pastelitos de Guayaba, but that’s not important right now.)

I’d say there’s nothing more fun than having a package land on your doorstep and getting to unpack some awesome. I don’t think Receiving Gifts is my particular brand of Love Language, but it sure is fun!

Very recently I did some work for a client and a few days later I received a box from Thoughtfully.com. It was a Beer Bread Lover’s Gift Set and it was indeed love at first sight.

Back in the day, it was all the rage to make beer bread and I loved the yeasty smell coming from the oven. I confess I haven’t done that in a super long time.

When I unpacked that beautiful box and mixed the simple ingredients together I was transported back to that wonderful time. Also, my family was incredulous. “You baked bread today?” (I know. I am totally winning here.) 

Included was the Beer Bread Mix.

A perfect bread loaf pan.

A beautiful antique-looking bottle opener, and a very cool “Born to Bake” apron. The beautifully illustrated story of Beer Bread and instructions are also included.

I’m delighted to share today that my friends at Thoughtfully have very graciously offered to host today’s giveaway. How would you like your very own Beer Bread Lover’s Gift Set? (Do I need to remind you that Christmas is coming?)

To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment on THIS POST and tell me:

  • What’s your Love Language? What makes you feel valued?*

I’ll be choosing 2 winners on Friday, November 18th, 2016. You have until then to enter. 

*In case you were curious, my personal Love Language is Words of Affirmation. That’s why I love your sweet comments. 

Disclaimer: I received a Beer Bread Lovers Gift Set as a gift and as a giveaway item. I have not been compensated otherwise. The opinion that this is the coolest thing ever is my own.

UPDATE 11/18/16:  The winner is:

    My love language is gratitude, giving and receiving. I like being able to help or give to others… a thank you note, words of inspiration, a hug when needed, a shoulder to cry on, a small gift just because. Must be the mother in me. But, I also do enjoy receiving… who doesn’t? When I don’t expect it and someone is grateful for what I’ve done for them or I get a little extra for an order I’ve placed. It feels nice and helps me feel loved!

    My Love Language is Appreciation. I appreciate when others do things for me and I respond in kind. When I feel appreciated by others, I tend to do more for them because I know they are grateful, and so am I for being in their lives.
    Giving to others and appreciating them is my kind of love!

    My love language is a combination of acts of service and quality time with some physical touch thrown in. Actions and quality time speaks much more volume to me then words and gifts.

    My love language is gratitude, appreciation, acknowledgement, coming from both parties! It is always better to give than to receive. It satisfies/gratifiesthe heart and soul.

    My love language is Touch. I love getting hugs from a friend or when my husband holds my hand when we’re driving in the car or walking together. Or when my grandkids put their arms around my neck. It makes my heart melt!

    Acts of service. I am seriously the worst gift giver because I can’t ever recall what things people like but I can usually remember what food or cookie they like and I’d rather bake or cook a meal for them than have to buy a gift. Wash my dishes and I will love you forever.

      Not true Aida! You are one sweet lady. You sent cake my way just the other day! ? I’m sure I never said thank you. ?

    My love language is prayer. I love when The Lord reaches out and touches me from my friends prayers. And when I can do nothing to make a situation better, it is a comfort to know Jesus knows just what they need. I love your blog!

    In particular my language of love equates to my family/my girls!! I am most appreciative of my girls and when they recognize me for doing something for them (not that they have to but it doesn’t hurt either). Random acts of kindness are essential. Everyone should be KIND and THANKFUL. Thank you Marta for this opportunity <3.

    My Love Language is Words of Affirmation with a value of 10 and My Quality Time was rated at 9.

      Also, I feel valued when my wife goes out of her way to compliment me regarding the meals I prepare. Cooking is a passion of mine and its important to me that those eating are happy!

  11. Beatriz Lopez says

    My love language is giving. Giving of your time, kindness, love, attention, gratitude, knowledge, etc. It’s so fulfilling. It makes the world go round.

  12. Yesenia says

    November 16, 2016 at 6:45 am

    My love language is affection. Whether it is a hug just because and a simple I love you from my husband or daughters.

  13. Alexandra D says

    November 17, 2016 at 11:15 am

    My love language is quality time! Sit with me and a cafecito and I’m happy!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️ Today I’m O’C Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️
Today I’m O’Cuban. But my mom used to say I was “sinvergüenza.”
It tracks. 🙄Sláinte! 🍻😉#belikemarta 🖖🏼😎
My family left Cuba in early 1961.My brother was My family left Cuba in early 1961.My brother was on the first Pedro Pan flight in December of 1960. Happily, my family was only separated for a few very tense months. But we were part of the lucky few who managed to leave the country rather quickly.Once reunited, my father vowed we’d never be separated again and so when my older sisters were to be married in California, he packed up the family and we never looked back.We lived in Miami for the first 3 years of our exile, before my parents moved us across the country, and so we made our lives in Southern California.As Cubans in California – “en el exilio del exilio” – we managed to find other Cuban families and connected with the familiar community of people who spoke our language and recognized our customs and our food.I’ve told the story of my family’s exile many times using whatever words the Lord sees fit to give my feeble brain.Tonight, I’m a white haired 70 year old grandmother (call me Wella😉) living in Southern California with the family my husband and I have created.My parents passed away years ago. (And I unabashedly miss them daily💔).What’s happening tonight (on the island that saw me born) is that the people have taken to the streets armed with nothing but pots and pans and have been banging them for 12 hours as of this writing, calling for “Libertad!”Who could believe we would actually see this day?
Who can sleep when freedom is so close you can taste it?Praying for the brave people of Cuba. May liberation come quickly! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Also, I’m shining up my own pots and pans. It’s almost time.
There are just no words for this moment.
This is OUR Berlin Wall moment and the cracks are already stating to show.#patriayvida

Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Mart Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Marta? 🌎 👀I’ve been so super obviously absent from all my socials, let alone my blog itself.
For a while there, I was overwhelmed by the once easy task of documenting my day-to-day life.Everywhere I looked, people moved on to high production video and I was hopelessly lost, so I put writing on the shelf and happily got caught up on all the seasons I’ve missed from the Great British Baking Show.But then, as I often say, “life is in session,” and my life was accumulating entire chapters before I could even type, “Oh, the Cubanity!”Which brings us to today. I’m starting to dip my toe back into writing online. Mostly, I miss the writing and telling about my extraordinarily ordinary life and the daily happenings at Casa de la Loma.So, tell me: Do you have any questions for me as I get back into the over-sharing of my days? 👀#mybigfatcubanfamily #belikemarta #callmewella #mbfcf
