Ep 125: Your No-Stress Plan for Celebrating the Holiday Season this Year

Are you looking forward to the holiday season?

The song tells us that it’s the most wonderful time of the year, but I think most families - especially busy moms - would tell you that’s a bunch of baloney.

In fact according to a 2019 study, 88% of Americans feel the holidays are the most stressful time of the year.

From all of the obligations we feel like we need to attend to, the decorations to put up, the traveling to family, the gifts to buy, and all the clutter we tend to accumulate, it’s no wonder we find ourselves more burdened than ever.

The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. We can be intentional and make changes for the better.

I’m talking today about 5 ways we have simplified the holidays in our home while still being extremely festive and I’m sure they can help you too.
