No matter what winter holiday traditions our families might celebrate, we all probably want the same things: to be cozy, to make fun memories, to share special meals, and to enjoy time with the ones we love the most. It is also probably safe to say most of us wish all that holiday goodness didn’t come with the stress and busyness that can happen with the holiday shopping, decorating , cooking, and wrapping....

We don’t know about everyone else, but each holiday season, the list of gifts we need to buy seems to grow longer than Santa’s beard. Sorry, but it’s true.

This is only the tip of the gift-giving iceberg. Getting through the entire list can sure take a toll on our wallets and bank accounts....

Once there is a space solely dedicated to this new little person, it can feel fathomable that they will actually get here....

How’s isolation going for everyone? For moms, it can be especially tough. Whether she’s navigating a full-time job while also homeschooling or watching the kids while having virtually no more ideas to keep them busy hour-to-hour for the foreseeable future, it’s tough out there. It’s a struggle that moms everywhere, even celebrity moms like Chrissy Teigen are experiencing. That’s why it’s important for them to remember self-care.

If there’s anything the Duggar family is known for (besides how big it is), it’s the strict lifestyle its members adhere to. For the women, that means there’s a dress code they’re expected to follow to keep their “modesty” in check for parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar . And growing up, that meant that most of them stuck to long skirts and dresses — never pants — and tops that kept them fully covered, arms and shoulders included....

Moms constantly prioritize everyone else’s needs above their own. It’s just in their nature. But if moms or others aren’t refilling their own cups, then they’ll run out of energy to give others. Self-care is so important, and it can be so easy and free . Sure, who wouldn’t love a thousand dollar weekend get away to a spa resort, but that’s not always viable. Some self-care and self-love activities are so easy and can be done from the comfort of one’s own bed....

First comes the pregnancy announcement . Then, for some moms, there’s the realization that the pregnancy will overlap with the summer.

There are lots of amazing reasons why it’s the best to be pregnant in the summer ....

I was cutting onions during the inauguration, so it might have looked like I was shedding tears of hope, pride, and astonishment at the beautiful poetry Amanda Gorman read to the world, but that wasn’t me crying. Maybe you cried, though? And I noticed that a lot of people got a bit of dust in their eyes or had a sudden attack of allergies. That girl is amazing. And I know I’m not the only one who fell in love with her....

I’ve road-tested the following toddler toys with my 21-month-old toy-crushing machine, so I can personally attest to their indestructibility....
