Stocking Update

Well, the "Stuff the Stockings" project is in full swing! We have lots of people volunteering for various things and we are so excited. I thought this was just going to be me collecting a few things and taking a few stockings in. But we have had a lot of people wanting to help and it has been so fun. I have made an updated list. If the item you were going to donate is crossed off, don't worry, it's probably just because you said you were donating it! And we will take whatever you want to give and put it to good use.

We have decided that if there is stocking overflow we will take some stockings over to antepartum where I spent 3 weeks on bedrest. Surely moms on bedrest over Christmas need a little gift too.

Thank you all so, so much for your response to this. Feel free to continue spreading the word about this project. Also, look around your house...I found lots of things (snacks, shampoo/conditioner samples, etc) for the stockings sitting in my own drawers and cupboards, just make sure they are new/unused! Also, I have updated the Amazon Wish List with my address so that it can ship here automatically.

Little lotions
Chapstick
Candy
Protein Bars/Granola Bars/Snacks
