We are officially 9 days away from Christmas (how??) and hopefully most of your shopping is done. I know I'm still thinking of little things here and there. Today I wanted to talk about stocking stuffer ideas for toddlers and babies. Let's be real, the last thing mom's want are more tiny toys/pieces/parts anything that will just end up in the trash. I put together a list of things I'm planning to put in my kids stockings if you're at a loss. Everything is in stock and will arrive before Christmas.

Something I'm trying to be intentional about this year is shopping small businesses. They need our support more than ever right now. Whether it's getting a coffee from a neighborhood coffee shop instead of a chain, doing take out from a favorite local restaurant or finding unique gifts from a small business - these are great ways to support small businesses. This year I'm trying to do some of my holiday shopping this way and have found some really fun and special gifts along the way I wanted to share 10 of my favorites.

Last Christmas Crosby was 8 months old and completely unaware of the holiday season. We got her a swing for our backyard and she was set. This year I'm so excited for her to experience the season. We already visited Santa and got the quintessential crying photo (see below). But there's a lot of other fun things I'm excited to do with her before the end of the year. I also wanted to share a gift guide for toddlers.

The holidays are always a fun time but having a baby this year makes them even more special. Even though Crosby has no idea what’s going on, I like to think seeing things for the first time (like our Christmas tree and decorations) is stimulating for her. Plus she’s in the phase where she’s pulling herself up on everything… so the bottom of our tree is without ornaments.
