Sometimes us moms need a little help keeping it all balanced around the holidays. With ever ending to-do lists, hard to handle relatives, and busy schedules, it can seem like a real job bringing joy and magic to the season. I hope my December no-thought meals, What to do with that ELF list, and 2015 gift guide can make your holiday just a little happier!
