Good Life of a Housewife
Life's Short, Savor the Season

Christmas

I love Christmas! Decorating,  food,  family, it’s the most  wonderful time of the year. However, sometimes it can feel overwhelming. I started using a Christmas Planner to help make the most of the season.

What a difference it makes! Instead of forgetting things or feeling overwhelmed, I just write it down and get to what I can. I want that for your family to! Scroll down and get your free Holiday Planner (PDF).
