DAILY PRACTICE:

Making Holiday Shopping Easier & More Organized thanks to TheMomiverse

As the kids head back to school and the whirlwind of fall activities kicks in, it's easy to let the holiday season sneak up on you. Here are five tips to help you stay organized and enjoy the magic of December:

  1. List and Check Twice: Start by creating a Christmas shopping list. Note down gift ideas as they come up throughout the year, and consider wish lists on online platforms for easy updates.

  2. Grow Your Holiday Spending Account: Don't let holiday shopping strain your finances. Set a clear budget that covers gifts, cards, shipping, and other expenses. Planning ahead will help you manage spending and avoid post-holiday regrets.

  3. Shop Smart, Not Hard: Avoid the last-minute rush by setting a goal to finish your shopping by a specific date. Take advantage of extended store hours, shop during off-peak times, or explore online shopping days. 

  4. Think Outside the Gift Box: Consider unique and creative gift ideas to make your presents stand out. Whether it's homemade treats, a day of service, or shared experiences, think beyond traditional gifts. 

  5. Prepare for Mailing and Hiding: Set aside time for mailing gifts well before the holiday rush. Consider online orders with free shipping to avoid last-minute stress. Hide wrapped and labeled gifts in a secure spot at home, and keep a special envelope for receipts.

Remember: This season is about joy, not stress. By organizing your Christmas preparations, you'll have more time to relax and cherish moments with loved ones. Here's to a stress-free and joyful holiday season!

  • 1 wheel of Brie cheese, cut into small cubes

  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut it into small squares (about 2 inches).

  3. Place each puff pastry square in the cups of a mini muffin tin, gently pressing them down to create a small pastry cup.

  4. Add a small cube of Brie cheese to each puff pastry cup.

  5. Spoon a teaspoon of whole berry cranberry sauce over the Brie in each cup.

  6. Top each bite with a sprinkle of chopped pecans.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
