The Best Stocking Stuffers All in One Place

The Best Stocking Stuffers All in One Place

When I was a kid, a stuffed stocking was like the icing on the Christmas cake! I loved rushing over to my stocking after all the presents were opened to see what final surprises were hiding in there. Now that I’m a mom, I love finding just the right items to fill my family’s stockings, but I don’t always have the time to shop around. The solution this year came as kind of a surprise. While I was in Payless shoe shopping with my girls, it dawned on me what a perfect store it was to get the stocking stuffers I needed for everyone on my list.

3 Fun Family Shoe Traditions Your Kids Will Love!

I love a good tradition, especially ones that are unique to our family. Over the years, we’ve adapted a few traditions to fit our family. And funny enough, they all involve shoes!

Tradition #1: Saint Nicholas Shoe Gifts

I spent 18 months in the Netherlands as a missionary for my church, and I learned to love so many things about the Dutch people and their traditions!

Father-Son Star Wars Date

My husband and I try really hard to regularly spend one-on-one time with each of our four children. However, life gets crazy busy sometimes, so we’ve found it’s important to schedule monthly date nights with our kids. With the upcoming release of the new Star Wars movie, this month’s date night is a no-brainer!

I like Star Wars, but my husband REALLY likes Star Wars! He can’t bear the thought of his oldest son not being an avid Star Wars fan too.

With the holidays right around the corner I’ve already been thinking of ways I can make things easier on myself and family, so we can spend more time doing what really matters most. I want to focus my holiday on spending quality time with my family and less time worry about the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Eating good food is always a huge part of our family get-togethers. But I don’t want that to mean slaving for hours and hours over a tasty homemade meal, and that’s where this yummy, simple quiche comes in. It’s chock full of flavor and is sure to please your family and company this holiday season.

Hot Chocolate Bar – So Fun for Christmas Parties!

Hi there! Sierra here from The Blue Robin Cottage! Brrrrrrrr! Winter just got real in Idaho! We’ve already had our first snow which can only mean one thing … hot chocolate time! Sometimes cozying up with a mug of hot chocolate is the perfect way to warm up.

We decided to kick off the winter weather season with a super fun hot chocolate bar! We used NEW International Delight Milk Chocolate Hot Chocolate. It was super rich and creamy and all I had to do was heat it up in the microwave! No hot chocolate powder clumps! Super easy and yummy!

Snoopy Dog House Craft for Kids ~ Using Airheads Candy! (she: Liz)

Crafting with candy is a sure fire way to get kids wanting to get creative. When candy is involved, I know my kids will be up for anything. 🙂 My son is a builder. He tells me that all he wants to do is build. Knowing his love for building (and candy) we used some Airheads candy to make a Snoopy Dog house.

5 Diaper Changing Hacks Every Mother Should Know

My fourth baby just turned two months old, which means he’s babbling and smiling all over himself … especially when he manages to get his poop out! The faces that he makes when he’s working on a poop are hilarious.

THOSE faces used to stress me out with my first baby, but with my fourth I realize it’s just what babies do. And pooping is serious business for them! It’s one of a baby’s three main purposes in life, aside from eating and sleeping.
