It’s tie again for the Super Stocking Stuffer Giveaway Hop brought to you by the wonderful gals over at The Mommy Island, and The Kids Did It! I love these hops because they are just so much fun. One thing I always do is try to keep these simple.
Sometimes I have products or other wonderful items but this year I am all about the cash and gift cards. I know how much some are struggling and I know that this is the best way to get things you want or need without having to spend the money. With Christmas right around the corner this will certainly come in handy.
We have been in Holiday mode around here the last week or so. Making plans and trying to figure out just what we are going to be doing for the holidays. My younger brother voted we all go out to Colorado for Christmas so we will have a white Christmas. I am with him because it has been so long. Chances are we won’t, simply because Ma and my sister in-law will veto us but hey we can wish. It’s fun to toss that that out there every single year though. One of the years we are going to get to go and will love every single second of it.
I have also been making my gift giving list, checking fifteen times to make sure I haven’t forgotten anyone and ordering things that can be ordered now. I have such a large list I do my best to make sure I have as much of it done by the end of November as I can On top of all of that there is all the Thanksgiving planning and dealing with Ma recovering from eye surgery. Things went well and she is doing good. Better than we thought she would. The doctor is pleased so hopefully she will be able to see well out of one eye at least. If we had waited any longer to have it done she would have been blind in that eye.

Honestly I shop very chaotically for a month, then I freak out and lay out all the gifts to see if I’ve bought for each kid evenly.

I do try to use a list app to keep track of who I am done with though, so it helps some.
