Holiday Gift Guide For Him

I took the guesswork out of shopping for men and found some great gift ideas! These are all CO brands that I love and support.

  1. Maroon Bell Outdoor is a CO brand that makes outdoor-inspired apparel, hats and accessories such as these gorgeous buffalo leather gloves. You can feel good about your purchase because they give back 3% of their sales to several non-profits. Price: Gloves $65 Hat: $29holiday gift guide for himholiday gift guide for himholiday gift guide for him
  2. For the guy that enjoys a candle but wants a manly scent, Old Pine Candle Co. from Evergreen, CO makes amazing candles that everyone in the family will enjoy! My favorite scents are the “Mountain Man” and “Evergreen” candles. Price: $20holiday gift guide for him
  3. Vortic Watche Co. (a CO company) makes small batch, custom, watches that are unique and totally customizable. For the man who truly appreciates a well-made, one-of-a-kind watch.  Price: Build your own watches start at $995
  4. Strong Water makes specialty cocktail bitters, perfect for gift-giving. I recommend the herbal cocktail bitter sampler box or the old fashioned cocktail kit.  Price: $29.95

  5. Last Exit Goods has so many great products that are perfect for gifting! Some of my favorites are the leather wrapped solid copper carry-on flask (comes with a wood gift box)  and the  leather Fly Reel Case. The case comes in small medium and large and is lined with genuine shearling. Any angler would be thrilled to receive this!                                                                                      Price: $Flask is $299 (comes with a lifetime warranty on the flask and the leather) and the small reel case is $165  (Subscribe to their newsletter to receive a 10% off coupon!)holiday gift guide for him

  6. Sword and Plough is an American made, veteran owned company you can get behind. They donate 10% Of Net Profits To Veteran Initiatives and each bag and accessory is made out of repurposed military surplus and durable military grade materials. The Blue Signature Rucksack and the Green Signature Messenger Bag are two great options for the guy who commutes or travels.  Price: Backpack is $289 Messenger bag is $279 (They offer a military discount!)

  7.  Grooming products from Floyd’s 99 Barbershop with a gift card to get his hair cut would be a perfect gift idea for any guy!  I put together some of our favorite styling products in a galvanized tin basket and added a wood comb I found on Amazon. Price: From $16.25
  8. Distilled Bath and Body makes an amazing product called Pit Liquor, a natural deodorant without all the nasty chemicals. My favorite scent is the Whiskey Black Pepper,  but I honestly love them all! (And these are not just for men!) The spicy woodsy scent is addicting and the best part… this stuff works my friends. You can save 5% by gifting your man a subscription where products are automatically delivered on your schedule. Reuse these spray bottles when the deodorant is all gone! You could make a DIY room refresher spray, a makeup setting spray, or your own essential oil body spray.  Price: $14.50 for a 3.4 oz jar holiday gift guide for him
  9. For the guy who loves the outdoors and has a love for travel, Wanderwide makes a  National Parks Register Print that is unique and sure to match any man cave or office.  Each print comes with a stamp and inkpad so they can track which parks they have been to. They also have the 50 states, 14ers, and world wonders. For every adventure register purchased, $1 is donated to a foundation that’s committed to preserving the beautiful places showcased in that print. Price: $59 for just the print

Happy Memorial Day ! Thank you to those who courag Happy Memorial Day !
Thank you to those who courageously gave their lives for our freedoms. 🇺🇸
Whew what a week ! Thank goodness for church and t Whew what a week ! Thank goodness for church and the good Word to renew and fill me with hope. Last week was a doozy and felt like it wouldn't ever end. Good & bad things happened, but more bad than I'd like. My grandma passed away and then we were in a stressful scramble for 2 days trying to figure out who could take care of our animals and dogs and garden & afford flights, a hotel and rental car to go to Chicago for the services(we ended up just having to book a flight for me & Liam and my husband and Theo will stay behind to hold down the homestead). We had a big playhouse we bought off FB marketplace delivered that Nate and Liam have been repairing and painting. It's turning out great ! I know many memories will be made in there, and I can't wait to share the before & afters. Though my poor husband has way too many projects going on at once again. 😬 
 My dog tried to eat baby bunnies. Twice 🤦‍♀️ Liam got some kind of poison ivy or poison oak rash all over and now today it has gotten pretty bad. His poor little cheek is all red and swollen and he's miserably itchy. Last night while driving home from a restaurant, I hit a coyote that jumped across the highway. Our brand new car's bumper is wrecked. 
The other day I went to the garden to find all the marigolds I planted next to my tomatoe plants died out of nowhere, and something is eating my pole beans. 🙃 
How I've been coping ? 
1. Finally cracking open a prayer journal I got for Christmas from my best friend and pouring my heart out. 
2. Spurts of intense deep cleaning that makes me utterly exhausted 
3. Trying to plan a couple fun things while Liam and I are in Chicago for a few days. Liam was SO excited it would just be us two going on this trip because we don't get much time just the two of us since Theo was born. I want to make the best of it and think it will be nice for the focus to be on Liam for a few days. 

Even though life has been busy and crazy and sad, I still just feel incredibly grateful and blessed for what the Lord has given me and my family. I'm ready to be home and hug my family and celebrate the beautiful life of my Grandma Alice.
Do you have plans to go camping with your kids thi Do you have plans to go camping with your kids this Summer ? I have a blog post from a few years ago that has a free printable kids packing list. This checklist gives kids an easy to follow list to be independent and responsible for their own pack for a weekend camping trip. 
I don't know if we'll get to camping before baby gets here in July, but we plan to camp this Autumn for just short weekend getaways. 
Now that Liam is 3 years older since creating that checklist, I may even add a couple more things. A tick remover to be added to his first aid kit would be helpful, and having his own bug spray. 
Head ro the blog (link in my bio) to see the list and let me know if you'd add anything to it ! 😊 
Tell me about your camping trips this Summer ! I'd love to know ⛺️
Yesterday Bowie brought home a limp baby bunny tha Yesterday Bowie brought home a limp baby bunny that I'm guessing was about 10 or so days old. His eyes were barely open. I had to scoop him up and push my dog out of the way who was super confused as to why I was so mad at him. I kept him warm and he snuggled into my arm and belly and fell asleep 😭 Liam searched and searched the thick brush at the edge of the forest, and deep into a thorn-covered bush, there was the little burrow with a few other little baby bunnies. He snuggled right back in next to them. 
Bowie got into their burrow again today ! 😩 Liam was devastated, but I think they're alright. 
Then we realized a finch made a beautiful nest with 3 little eggs in our shed, so we have to find a new home for the sweet nest as we're having our shed moved soon on our property to use as a chicken coop and to make way for building a garage. Any tips on how to safely move a bird's nest? 😬 
And before anyone comes at me for not wearing gloves to pick this little babe up, there was no time. And it's a myth that a mama rabbit will reject their young just because they smell weird. We've had baby bunnies before and I'm guessing mama just gave them a good bath.
One of the most important people in my life made h One of the most important people in my life made her way up to heaven yesterday. My grandma Alice, my boy's GG, I imagine is slow dancing with Grandpa John and he's smiling with his blue eyes and saying "about time, Alice". My Grandma raised 5 children, was  devoted to her church, gave to charities that were close to her heart, had many friends, traveled all over the world, and loved her husband fiercely. She was an amazing mother and THE best grandmother. I never went to her house without a proper tea time complete with cookies and little snacks. She took care of my family when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 acute Leukemia when I was just 3 months old. 
She was one of the first people I would call with good news, like when Nate proposed or I found out I was pregnant, or we were buying a house. She gave the best warm sincere hugs. Her laugh was contagious. I like to think my love for singing, roses, history, birds, and hosting comes from her. She made holidays so fancy and special. If I close my eyes I can hear the crackle of the fireplace at an Aubele Christmas party with a house full of Aubele's talking louder and louder with the smell of coffee and sweets in the dining room on the buffet. Laughter & warmth filling every inch of that house. I have always dreamed of a large family because of her. She was an amazing storyteller and often told me stories of our ancestors. And we have some pretty crazy family stories! She was proud to be Ojibwa and often reminded me to be proud as well. She was an amazing seamstress and made her grandchildren dolls & dresses & teddy bears. Family was the most important thing to her, and I knew at a young age that serving my own family someday was also what I wanted to do. 
Even though she passed yesterday, I have been mourning my grandma for over a year. Dementia took hold of my sweet Grandma Alice and I couldn't call her on the phone anymore. When I saw her this April, she had no idea who I was or who my Dad, her own son, was. I couldn't call to tell her I was pregnant with my 3rd son. I couldn't call to tell her I moved from MT to VA and that we bought a homestead. My grandma has been gone for some time👇🏼
