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!

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...

Am I pregnant or stupid?

I've read stories about people getting the "pregnant stupids" and while I think they're hysterical, I think I've got them...bad. All the time. Every day. My guess is that because I lucked out with morning sickness (or lack of), God decided to turn me into an idiot. Case in point. Thursday afternoon, I drove all the way home from work (about 20 minutes) only to realize I forgot my work keys, which I needed to open the office the next morning. So I had to rush back to work before my co-worker left at 5 p.m. to grab them. She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her I was. Then when I got home, Darren and I were going to meet my aunt and uncle and cousins downtown for dinner. So we rushed off to dinner and as soon as we hit the busy grid of downtown, I realized, I FORGOT MY PHONE. This would be OK any other day except for the fact that 1) I was the only one that had any of their phone numbers and 2) We didn't even designate a spot to meet - we were just going to...
