Having 8 children means that we are always on the lookout for frugal fun! If you’ve watched my video about our Christmas traditions, you would know that my husband and I fund the kids shopping trips to pick out Christmas gifts for each other instead of us being the ones buying the gifts. Our kids have LOVED this tradition, and it has been really special for me to watch them put time and thought into choosing what their sibling would like.
Since the kids are doing the gift shopping, Jason and I get to have fun filling the stockings. That’s our gift to our children. we don’t celebrate Santa around here, but getting a stocking full of fun little things is a Christmas Day favorite.
We generally choose a couple fun items like what I’ve listed below, something practical like chap stick and toothbrushes, and then “bulk it up” with fruit, chip bags, etc.
Here is my list of Christmas stocking stuffer ideas that are under $10… and every one has been tested and enjoyed by my very own team of product testing professionals 🙂
I’m Julie, wife to Jason and homeschooling mama to 8. We live, work, learn and play on our 16 acres in beautiful Missouri, where we are slowly building up a little homestead and creating a place that we can use to minister to any families God sends our way. Jason and I are visionary people who are learning to not plan ahead too much, but to rely daily on the leading of the Holy Spirit. This life of ours is so exciting and we’re glad to be able to share it with you!
My heart is to encourage mamas to loosen the reigns and allow delight and spontaneity to seep into their homeschool as they follow God’s leading in what is right for their family!
Step outside the box and join me in building a delightful homeschool for your family.
