Thank you for your support!   I remember receiving a stocking each year as a child. Even to this day my mom will still do a stocking for each of us. Receiving a stocking was one of my favorite Christmas traditions and something I've carried into my little family. My mom was so creative when filling our stockings. I could not wait until Christmas morning to empty my stocking to see the surprises inside.  This year for Christmas my husband and I are going to fill a stocking for each other instead of presents. We will also fill a stocking for each of our girls (2 years old and 3 months old) and our dog, Muffin. Below are some ideas for filling up your stockings.

They are non-GMO, gluten free, vegetarian, and kosher.  I have been very low on iron this pregnancy, so I like that these vitamins have an iron aspect to them.
