It’s here again… that awful feeling: I’m behind.

You swore this year you’d print those adorable Christmas cards with your family’s smiling faces in front of a glowing tree, but it’s December and you haven’t even started. 

Your friends are sending you theirs, and just seeing them makes you feel guilty. 

You’re scrambling to shop for presents online, wondering how you’re going to fit it into your budget. 

And that damn elf on the shelf?

Hasn’t moved for days. 

Mama, the holidays are a stressful time for most people. 

But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be quite this bad.

We talk about:

• How to clean up after the holidays without feeling overwhelmed
