    You guys are the best. I love those ideas. You gave me some good suggestions for my kids. These ideas are really going to help this year.
    I have the best husband! Since I’m 5 feet and a half inch I struggle with having to reach.
    I developed shoulder pain from pulling down the back door of my Caravan minivan.
    My husband found a product that really helped. The wrapper said mom’s little helper handle. It’s a strap that hangs from the handle of the back door.
    It’s much easier to close the van door. What a God sent! You can’t believe how much it helped with shopping! I hope this helps!
    Happy Holidays!

    I think lottery tickets are a great idea! I don't think my mom wants any more 'stuff'. :)
