Avoid Last Minute Stress and Get Your Holiday Shopping Done Early
Don't put your shopping off until the last minute and stress yourself out
Waiting until the last minute to do your holiday shopping can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. If you get started early, you have plenty of time to pick out the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. That way, you aren’t shopping in a rush on Christmas Eve out of picked-over shelves at the Dollar Tree.
If you get all your holiday shopping done early, then you can beat the stress this holiday season, so you can relax and enjoy the festivities.
In the interest of helping you get all your holiday shopping done early - and without having to go to the mall - I have put together some helpful holiday gift guides for you.

Sustainable Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List
Hopefully you can find something on one of these lists to get for everyone on your list. Finding something thoughtful for all of your loved ones will help you make their holiday special. I also have some sustainability tips for you, so that you can take care of the planet while you are shopping too!
Also, make sure that you are taking time for self care this holiday season. When you have a lot of events to keep track of, it helps to make sure that you are in your best health physically, emotionally and spiritually. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it is quite necessary.
As moms, it is important to make time for self care during the Holidays
Between the kids’ activities and your own, make sure to take some time to add something you enjoy to the calendar. Whether it is holiday baking, singing carols, or relaxing in front of the fire with a good book, doing something you love helps to make the holiday season more enjoyable. Remember, holidays aren’t just for the kids, they are for you too!
I hope you all have a wonderful time this holiday season! Many people like to share something they are grateful for each day in the time leading up to Thanksgiving. Even if you don’t share, spending some time on gratitude is good for your soul.
An Attitude of gratitude has many benefits, learn how to take advantage of them.
As you hold gratitude in your heart for all the blessings in your life, it helps you to attract more into your life that you can be grateful for. A positive mindset can always help you make your dreams come true.
Be well, my lovelies!
