As a kid, the holidays were a magical time for me. When school was out, I was humming and bussing with excitement and anticipation of what I was guaranteed to be THE.BEST.HOLIDAY.EVER. Each year, I was not disappointed. My mother pulled out all the stops, our home was a hive of activity with family visiting from near and far. There would be an endless supply of cookies/biscuits, cupcakes and treats of all kinds, it truly felt like each day topped the one before and I had as much fun as I could stand playing and laughing with cousins and friends.
Fast forward to now and I still love the holidays BUT the downside is that I find myself on the other side where I’m the one who has to make tasty food and treats, and decide where and how to spend quality time with family. By the time I’m done, catered to everyone’s tastes and ensured everyone will have a good time, I am ready for a meltdown of epic proportions.
So this year I created simple hacks for myself which I felt would make the holidays simpler and less stressful. You can download the free Holiday Hacks e-guide here. I hope you take time to incorporate these as they are or adapt them as best you can to your specific situation or circumstances.
Remember, after all is said and done the holidays are a time to be with the people we care about and love the most, so relax, you've got this.
