Raise your hand if you already feel stressed out by the holidays. (?) The nice thing is that there’s a simple solution, mama: minimalism. You don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to buy ALL the gifts. Or decorate ALL the spaces in your home, or bake ALL the cookies. You can pare down and bring the focus back to only the essential tasks that matter to you and your family. (It’s totally okay if the elf stays on just that one part of the shelf a couple nights in a row!) You’ve got this, mama, and we’ve got you.

XO,

P.S. Here are six reasons December babies are so special. Plus, when all else fails, keep calm and cuddle on.
