QOTD....Stuffed animal? Body Pillow?



Good morning ladies!  I hope you are all doing well and that you're having nicer weather than we're having here (its all rainy and cold :-( ).

For today's QOTD:


When your man is gone, do you sleep with a stuffed animal or body pillow?


I've always been a fan of stuffed animals.  I probably had hundreds growing up.  They were always so comforting.  When I went to college, I also graduated to body pillows....it was like a HUGE stuffed animal that I could wrap my whole body around.  I even got this awesome one that was all memory foam....it was A-mazing!

Enter JS.  No more need for a body pillow.  Stuffed animals were put up on a shelf.  I had found my permanent cuddle buddy.....or so I thought.

He had to leave for deployment, and I needed something to cuddle with.  Soooooo I got myself a little Army Bear.  He's so cute.....he came complete with a beret and I could personalize him and have JS's last name embroidered onto his uniform.  It sounds silly, but he actually comforts me.  Sometimes I spray some of JS's cologne on him, too :-) 






Have a great day, everyone!!!!!  :-)

  2. I have both! I'm a pillow hog as it is, after he leaves for work in the morning I'll wake up and be completely surrounded by all the pillows. When he's gone I also have the first stuffed animal he ever gave me (a penguin).

  3. Hi there, new follower here!

    I love the QOTD! Whenever Mr. M is gone (either back to base or deployed) I always have something to sleep with. Even if I don't cuddle it, I have a pillow that I sleep next to so that I have that presence there. When he first left for boot camp I put one of his t-shirts over a pillow (sort of like a pillow case) and slept with it. Every once in a while I sprayed his cologne on it so that I could smell him. When he was deployed I cuddled with a teddy bear he gave me while he was gone. So, I guess I've done both? Hah! It's a good comfort though!

    I can't wait to get to know you better through your blog and if you have time please check mine out! =)

  4. I can't stand to sleep with anything except my blankets and pillow. So if I had to choose one I'd go with a body pillow.
