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!

The 10-20-30-40-50 Workout

I get asked what I do for exercise quite often. I, in no way, have the perfect body, but I am in pretty decent shape and I think it is always important to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle whether you're a mom or not. I don't think being a mom is an excuse to not be healthy (and just so y'all know, being healthy doesn't mean we don't have stretch marks or extra cushion. AmIright?) but I do understand dedicating a large quantity of your day to fitness is really difficult. In addition to having a desire to be healthy, I workout because food. I love it. And I don't want to stop eating it. So I workout. I take one kickboxing/insanity class each week at a local church (I LOVE IT!) but other than that I'm on my own for exercise. Running is usually my go-to - it has always been relaxing, calming and therapeutic to me. Then my kids turned 2 and 4 and I was like 'holy cow! Is there an actual COW in this stroller I'm pushing? One that won...

Each Day Has Enough Trouble of Its Own

Sometimes we hear exactly what we need to hear. That's what happened to me this week. Along with motherhood, as many of you know, comes so much worry. Worry about the well-being of your child. Worry about doing things correctly. Worry about giving enough time to your children and enough time to your husband. Worry about finding enough time for yourself. Worry about being a good mom and a good wife. Worry about getting enough sleep tonight so I can have enough energy to get through tomorrow. The list of worries and anxieties go on and on. They don't tell you about this when we sign up to be parent. Or do they? Anyway, last week I was reading the Bible. While studying the book of Matthew I came across this verse: "But seek first His kingdom and all His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34 Isn't that script...
