Blogmas 2014 - Day 18 Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Ok, in the years past we've done tons and tons of candy and cheap little dollar tree items or things from the dollar aisle at Target. This year, I was determined to do better. My kids are playdoh obsessed so I bought a case of it to split between them. I also bought figurines from some of their favorite shows or little toys. Ben got Scooby Doo, Sydney got Littlest Pet Shop, Rylie got Peppa Pig, and Scottie got Disney princess. I do need to try and find chocolate coins. That is their favorite and they always get them from Santa, but that might be pretty close to the only candy that they get. They just don't really eat that much candy. They love it but get side tracked, and lets be honest, they don't need the sugar, especially with all the other cookies and such around at Christmas. I also got the big girls two plush Disney Princesses each, Ben a plush Olaf, and Scotland one plush Disney Princess. This year I was determined to not get a bunch of stuff I'll be throwing away a week after Christmas, and I think I accomplished that.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

I'm beyond obsessed. Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations. I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies. I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley! I'm so in love with Vera Bradley. I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house. I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
