As moms, it’s easy for us to take on the lioness’s share of the to-do list. And sometimes doing #AllTheThings feels easier than sending a million reminders to our partner (or friend or parent) to make sure they get done. But when we convince ourselves that no one can do it as well as we can (even if it’s true!), we’re the ones who suffer. So this week, give yourself a breather. We know no one can cut off the crusts quite like you can, but you’ll be doing the whole family a service if you keep yourself from burning out.

XO,

PS: Hanukkah has already begun, but if you still need some gift ideas, we have them for you. And did you know that childcare costs more than *college* in some states?
