Favorite Things {stocking stuffers}

After all the presents are unwrapped, the wrapping paper is cleared, and the joy of the moment  is lingering in the air- you look over to see that there is one more thing that has been left for you with care.

I'm a fan of stocking stuffers. I've always like the idea of the little surprises waiting for you in your stocking. As a child I remember getting silly putty, chap stick, and every single year my parents would put a slinky in our stocking because we would manage to twist our up by January. Honestly, I'm not sure how we did it but it happened every.single.year.

My parents didn't have a mantle to hang stocking from so they usually hung from the sill of their stained glass windows. Each of the children has a stocking careful hung every year and each Christmas it was filled with the little things that we loved. So last year, I decided to get my parents stockings so that they can join in on the joy of peeking in their stockings.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who care about stuffing stockings every year so here are my picks for great stocking stuffers!

{DAY 13} How else would I remember doctor's appointments, birthdays, or where I need to be this weekend? Technology... that's how! I have come to rely on my phone to help me manage this busy lifestyle I've taken on and I'm grateful for it! When I think about what I would do if I didn't have the calendar (or address book) in my phone I think back to when my mom would schedule a doctor's appointment for me and she would pull out her pocket calendar with a copious amount of business cards wedged in between the months and I shudder. And it's funny because I think she still uses it even though my dad gifted her an iPhone last year and her purse weighs the same as new born baby.

Pinspiration for my HHJ

I'm stuck in a hair rut. This isn't new and in fact happens every couple of months. There are days when I want to cut it or put it into cornrows withe extensions added for length. Once, I've eve caught myself thinking abut going natural! I don't think that'll happen at anytime but I'll never say never. Being in a hair rut sometime causes me to unnecessarily hating my hair. I'm almost desperate guys!

Over the weekend I was thinking about what I should be doing with my hair when it hit me. I knew I had a pin on my Glam Momma board that I could easily do to take me out of a hair rut (at least for a few days). So I went searching and found the pin I was thinking of:





You guys- I've been "pinspired"!
