Part of cutting back on the unrealistic and insane cleaning narratives, a door opened for me to spend time giving myself some much-needed self-care.

Tis the Season for Fun, Not Stress
Without discussion or fanfare, I decided I would only decorate for Christmas this year. It's really my most favorite holiday to decorate primarily due to our ornament collection.
