Each year, I feel like December is one crazy month, where I struggle to keep my head above water with all the tasks on my To-Do List. I would love to relax and enjoy the time before Christmas with my family...and this year I'm going to!

Oh, count me in on this one!!!! We are traveling for the first time (since having kids) this year for Christmas, I am nervous and excited... and not quite sure how I am going to get everything done, so this should be great help for me. Thanks so much! Can't wait to follow along each day. Yay.. I'm excited.
