Here’s a super short post to remind you… It's not up to you to create a magical Christmas for your family. 💫 There are so many pressures to create perfect moments and perfect memories, and the weight of creating all of it is far too heavy for anyone to carry. Talk to your family about what activities are important to them and how you, as a family, can make those things happen. You will likely be surprised by the simplicity of their wishes! 🤗💫 Let magic evolve from simple activities.

If you feel scattered and chaotic while hosting during the holidays, then this post is for you! Here are 5 tips that will keep your kitchen (mostly) tidy while cooking and make clean up a breeze! 1) Create a menu and timeline. Not only do you need to know what you are serving, but you need to know when those items will be prepared. 2) Prepare and cook in advance. Prep as many ingredients as possible and maybe even assemble some dishes that can be cooked day-of. 3) Keep cleaning essentials near by. Keep a bowl or grocery bag on the counter for scraps, and clean up floor messes quickly to avoid spreading the mess to a larger area. 4) Use as few dishes as possible. Instead of pulling out another mixing bowl or measuring cup, can you wipe out or quickly wash the one you have already used? 5) Wash as you go. Put dishes straight into the dishwasher or handwash in batches. Bonus tip! Remember that guests (usually) want to help you! Think ahead about things others can do! Don’t stress over all of the details. Take it step-by-step, ask for help, and enjoy the day.

It's time to deluctter your kids' toys before the influx of Christmas toys! ⏰ Here are our three favorite ways to declutter toys. 1) Grab a black trash bag. Fill it with things they'll never miss. Recycle, donate, or toss. (Don't get caught! 🤫) 2) Create a letter from Santa asking kids to fill a box with toys and donate it to a local organization. (Perfect teaching opportunity for generosity and abundance!) 3) Check out our free download with games you can play with your kids to teach them how to declutter. You can grab the download from the resources link in our bio. We're dying to know! What's your favorite toy decluttering method? Comment below.

Here's a friendly reminder for the next couple of weeks. 🎄 As you decorate for Christmas, it's ok to toss or donate decorations that are tired or you no longer like.
