I had about 18 drafted posts, ready to publish, and some of them were just from forever ago, and I just didn't feel interested enough to post them.. so, I deleted them!
With the Holidays, I have had so much going on and have been super busy, and unable to blog as much as I should/want to! I still have about 8 drafted posts to publish currently though, and I will be updating regularly again, after Christmas.
Sorry! This is a time I need to spend with my family! So excited for Piper's First Christmas and for Aiden to open his gifts! :)) I will be doing a Christmas Haul too!
I cannot even believe it's already Christmas! wow!
I wish I had more time to update this post, but I have a little Miss at my feet staring up at me, jabbering away wanting some Mommy time before our Christmas festivities kick off in a bit!
Off to get us ready and spend time with my family :)
Have a Merry Christmas!! :))

Stocking Stuffer Ideas
Running around last minute on Christmas Eve (shame, shame:-P) scrambling what to stuff those stockings with? I've got some great stocking stuffer ideas for you right here! I will just group them into categories :)
Music and Gadget Lovers:
*iTunes gift cards! A lot of times during the holidays, you can find three $10 gift cards together, making it a $30 purchase, but if you separate them, you'll have them for 3 stockings! With iPhones, iPads, and iPods being so heavily popular, you really can't go wrong here.. And if they don't have one of those.. they can still download books, movies, songs to their computer with it :)
*Ear buds! There are so so many adorable/cool ear bud options out there, so you can easily find something for whomever you're looking for! These are pretty inexpensive too, most of them are around $5-10. Last year, Justin put some adorable pink owl earbuds in my stocking! :)
*iPod shuffle! These are one of less expensive iPods, and you won't be able to play games and such on them, but you will be able to listen to music, and if that's what you're in the market for this is perfect! I have one of these and it's so light and portable, I can just clip it to me and go! This is a really good deal on these, right here... This one also comes with an accessory kit! :)
*Colored charger cords for iPods, iPads, iPhones! You can get these so inexpensively on eBay! Just type in iPhone charger usb cord or something of the like and they will pop up! I got, I think, 4 light pink usb ones, WITH the wall adapters for around $1-2 each, with free shipping! So definitely check that out! :)
*iPod cases, iPhone and other phone cases, and iPad, nook, kindle and other eReader cases for our gadgets! Amazon and eBay are definitely the places to go to get some really cool ones for really inexpensive! This is a really nice one for those beauty girls who love their iPhone :)
*Silicone speaker for iPhone: These run about $2-4 and they are so handy.. we got Justin's brother one for his stocking and it works! You can pick these up at Walmart! You just stick your phone down in the case and listen away; it even stands! :)
Beauty Obsessed:
*Cologne for Guys is a good one! Here is a 12 pack fragrance sampler from several good brands at Sephora, for only $50. $50 is pretty expensive for one stocking stuffer, in my opinion anyways, but I like to put one nice gift with the stocking, personally. So this could be the perfect thing, if you've got a guy in your life that LOVES smelling good! :)
*Perfume! Girls LOVE smelling good, or at least I hope they do... I wouldn't wanna walk around smelling bad! haha! There are many options when it comes to perfume for ladies! You can go with a full sized bottle, a mini bottle, a roller ball, a fragrance sampler like above, or you can get an atomizer for her stocking, and buy her a perfume for her gift! (To me, I would love the last option, I have always wanted one of those! haha)
*I definitely recommend the EOS lip balms, I've been using them over a year now, and they are amazing and super moisturizing! And they're really inexpensive.. I have several of them, but I love the Sweet Mint and the Lemon Drop. You can get these at Rite Aid, Walmart, several different places I believe!
*hook ups by mark! These are perfect you can decrease so much clutter in your purse by using these hook ups.. snap a lip gloss, and a mascara together and throw it in your purse and you're good to go!
There are so many beauty products you could have in a stocking.. whether it be drug store or higher end products.. there are many great ones out there.. I recommend going to Sephora or Ulta and checking out some if you have a beauty lover on your hands.. There are many nice and good quality brands at each of these stores and some are very affordable, in my opinion. :)
Book Worm:
*Books obviously.. now each person differs in their reading taste.. so you will want to take that into consideration.
*Book marks: I don't really use a book mark, because I always remember where I last read, but Justin and several other people I know do use them.. Well, Justin just uses a make shift one, so that would be a good little stocking stuffer for him.. find one that goes well with their personality or something they love, or you can even make this yourself.
*Book light: Again, I don't use this myself, but I know several people, who are book worms, swear by these, and these are really inexpensive!
Definite Additions:
*Maybe some bath/shower things.. always nice getting stuff like that in a stocking..
*Definitely an ornament!
*Scratch off lottery ticket, these are so fun!
*Try and go by categories.. something for you, something for home, something entertainment wise, etc..
There are a ton of things to get for someone for their stocking.. I definitely recommend food/snacky items too! You really just wanna go by their personality and what sort of things they like.. Stockings are one of my many favorite things about the holidays, and I enjoy filling them up with goodies for others! I have done this every year for the past 7 years I believe. I always tell Mom, I don't really care what I get for Christmas, if anything, just fill my stocking! :))

December Scentsy & Velata Specials :)
This month, I will be offering free gift wrapping, and I will be putting together gift baskets if you're interested in those.. There are several different gift baskets to choose from, I will put each of them down below :)
Scentsy and Velata both have so many awesome products for Christmas gifts! There are so many things to choose from, and there is something for everyone!
I'm going to jump right in and give you my specials for Scentsy for the month of December! :)
*Fragrance Foams are Buy 1, Get 1 Free! You can get fragrance foams in this promotion in the following scents: Cocoa Clementine, Duke, Flirtatious, Jumpin’ Jelly Bean, Just Breathe, My Dear Watson, Quiver, Rio Beach, and Titanium
Fragrance Foams are about 5-6 BBW antibacs! They're a pretty good size, and last quite a while. Emollient-rich, lusciously scented, and alcohol-free, Fragrance Foam kills germs without drying hands.
These make great stocking stuffers or teacher gifts! I grabbed up a few at this deal for Aiden's teacher and her classroom helper! :)
*Scentsy Buddies are Buy 1, Get 1 Free until December 31! Some of these favorites have already sold out of the promotion, but you can still purchase them at regular price... those are Patch the Dog, Pooki the Polar Bear, Lenny the Lamb, Wellington the Duck, and Mollie the Monkey. However, still available in the BOGO promotion are the following: Scratch the Cat, Roarbert the Lion, Penny the Pig, Ollie the Elephant, Ribbert the Frog, and Barnabus the Bear.
They are so adorable! And you can choose a scent pak, and then Scentsy sends you the second of their choice.. which when we ordered our BOGO, and a few customers, we all received Clove & Cinnamon, which was perfect for the Holiday season! :) This is a GREAT deal because you're getting a product valued at $25 for FREE! :) Aiden has two Scentsy buddies and Piper has a baby buddy! They're awesome and smell great! :D
*December Warmer of the Month, Comfy Cozy Premium Full Size Scentsy Warmer
There’s something so snuggly about slipping on your favorite sweater when it’s chilly outside. Comfy Cozy warms things up with a cableknit pattern in rustic red that glows from within when lit, while tiny buttons keep things cuddly. This warmer is adorable! Especially when on! :) It is available all December at 10% off, making it only $31.50
