Today for Discover & Explore, we are each sharing our favorite gift ideas for kids — and I get to share ideas for stocking stuffers!
I will admit when I first had kids and started helping Santa with the stockings, I needed to learn a thing or two. There is an art to finding just the right items for the stockings — fun but useful, engaging but seasonal and something that Mom probably wouldn’t give to the kids (let’s face it, Santa is waaaay cooler than Mom).

We are on countdown in our house — only 9 more school days left for us!
Yep, only 9 days, 4 finals, 3 school activities and 1 graduation event — then we can enjoy sleeping in, long days without schedules, fun day trips and some relaxing time to connect.
I do love summer!
Yes, some days are longer than others and the kids do get bored by mid-July — but we wouldn’t trade it for the world!
