Everyone's favorite week of the year is near: BASKET WEEK!

Let's be honest, it's like Christmas morning all over again. You're being showered with presents, food, and so much more. Day after day there is something new and exciting waiting for you by someone who loves you more than you know.

I know it seems crazy, how could someone love me this much already? Many hours of crafting, baking, and prep go into these baskets. I honestly didn't know how much work went into them until I made them for my own little.

I'll be the first to say that I am not crafty, I have no comprehension of the color wheel, and glitter is not my thing. However, for you Little I made it work and I learned to love it all! Yes, there were days when I wanted to just scrap all of it and start over, but in the end they turned out great.

Bigs: Don't be afraid if you are having anxiety about your baskets because your littles are going to love them no matter what. Just go for it!

Stressed and need some help? Go to Pinterest. Pinterest is your best friend and go-to for all things basket week. If you're drawing a blank or just need some inspiration, you'll find more than you need on Pinterest. From crafts to cake designs, Pinterest is your life line.

Also remember not to kill yourself over your baskets. Remember all the crap you got in your baskets that you hung up in your dorm room that now sits in a box under your bed? PASS IT DOWN!

You haven't looked at any of those canvas, headbands, notebooks for a whole year. Why let it sit under your bed collecting dust, just hand it down. I know you may not think a hundred stickers with your letters on it are that exciting, but your littles will.

**Tip** If you feel like your basket doesn't look full enough, load it up with food! By now you should know what your little likes to snack on. Food goes a long way, and she will be so happy that her dorm room is stacked with food for the next month and half.

Leading up to reveal your little will post pictures with her baskets saying how much she loves them and you! I can honestly say there was no better feeling, and seeing her posts made me feel at ease about reveal.

I had no doubt in my mind that she wouldn't be running into my arms at reveal once she received all of her baskets. But I will admit I was nervous at first because I had only known her for about 4 days before I had to put together all of her baskets.

Things happen for a reason, and I got myself and wonderful little!

Bigs, good luck with your baskets and finding your littles. Just remember to have fun and flood your baskets with love.

Littles, enjoy basket week while you can because before you know it, you will be the one making the baskets. And remember to give your big a shout out because she has been working so hard.

Happy Little Hunting!
