Stocking Stuffers for Him

Stocking stuffers for kids (especially under the age of 10) are super easy. I mean they've got all the best treats and trinkets lined up in the aisle at Target. Stocking stuffers for husbands on the other hand can get tricky. Here what's in my husband's stocking this year.

1. Metal insulated tumbler with a straw (we love these)
2. Gum
3. Car air freshener
4. Candy candy cane (everyone needs this no matter your age)
5. Cologne/body spray
6. Scalp massager (mostly because I want it)

I'll probably throw in some more candies and the traditional orange at the bottom but this is honestly all that will fit. Here are some other ideas I've done in the past:

7. Single shot bottles of Fireball (or any of his favorite liquor)
8. Gourmet coffee
9. Favorite MIO or flavored water
10. Water bottle
11. Gift cards
12. Magazine (my hubs likes the Family Handy Man)
13. After-shave cream
14. New razor
15. Electric Toothbrush
16. Hand warmers
17. Socks
18. Beef jerky
19. Candied Nuts
20. Gloves (snow, riding, or even boxing mits)
21. Sleeping mask (if your husband works nights he will thank you for this)
22. Phone case
23. Wallet
24. Beanie
25. Neck tie
26. Head phones
27. CD (haha that used to be a thing)...as subscription to Spotify will do for now
28. Bottle opener
29. Screen protectors
30. Small tools (leveler, screw drivers, drill bits, etc.)

My gift giving skills have improved the longer I've been married to my husband. Not joking, he is an incredible gift giver...he asks a lot of questions and always gets the right thing. But, I'm always pretty happy with my stocking stuffing ability. Half of the time I buy too much so keep in mind only so many things will fit in the stocking, probably only 5 or 6.

Happy stocking stuffing, friends!

30 Gluten-Free Crock Pot Meals that Won't Break the Bank

In honor of my dad, this round of crock potting is gluten-free. Over the summer my dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and when I found out, I cringed for him. My dad, like me, loves food - all kinds of food but especially pastas, pizzas, bread. How on earth could we take out so many delicious foods that fall under the category of "gluten" and still be satisfied? Apparently it's not as hard as I thought. These recipes are REALLY good, completely satisfying, super easy, and very affordable. I did 30 meals for $168 (this includes a strainer I needed plus disposable trays for the two freezer meals). Keep in mind these recipes are NOT Paleo or AIP. They are simply GLUTEN FREE. That also doesn't mean fat-free or calorie-free. Sorry, folks! ;) You also won't find any cream of whatchamacallit or seasoning packets. Not because I'm completely opposed to them (though I do know they are highly processed and not good for us), but because most, if not all of them...

How We Painted Our Cabinets {and Totally Transformed Our Kitchen}

About 9 months ago I took the plunge and painted our kitchen cabinets. I feel like this is the DIY project that most people are afraid to tackle because, hello! It is the kitchen. So much time is spent in the kitchen and it really is the focal point of the home – if it’s done sloppy, wrong or doesn’t turn out as expected it would be a huge headache and a lot of money to fix. However, this is probably the best DIY project our family has done. Not only did it make a HUGE impact on our home and main living space but it was extremely cost effective at only $150. Once upon a time, our kitchen looked like this: Now it looks like this: It was pretty yellow before. Maple was everywhere. Maple cabinets, maple floors. I walked in this room and it felt like it was constantly glowing (even after I painted the walls a beautiful shade of “perfect greige”). Anyhoo, I knew I wanted a white kitchen. I feel like white cabinets appear decade after decade. They are timeless and cla...

A Humble Encourager

"Going from 2 to the 3 was the absolute hardest ," say so many mamas to the mama pregnant with her third baby with a plastered smile on her face. And it makes sense - you go from man-to-man defense to zone-defense. You run out of hands that can grab on to kids. The parents are officially outnumbered. I get it. It's a fair warning. I don't mind people telling me this because I think it's probably true. I don't think people purposely say it to instill fear or anxiety but sometimes I think people (myself included) can get so hung up on the hard, worn-out and exhausting parts that we forget to glorify the good stuff and give credit to God. Last week I was reading Titus. It is a tiny book squished in the middle of the New Testament. Chapter 2 is about teaching and it breaks it down into groups: older and younger men, and older and younger women. Verses 2:7-8 says: "In your teaching show integrity, seriousness, and soundness of speech that cannot be cond...
