Holiday Help for the busy mom. I'm juggling 2 kids (and a grown-kid. No, not my husband haha ;)

I'm running a political campaign, creating & sending my family's Xmas cards, working my job 

(& working around Matt's job), so as far as "Chritmas Shopping" goes.. 

I'm eaither buying:

1) Online

2) Giftcards at Costco

3) Little treats I can throw together quickly, quietly, while baby is napping. 

Emergency Treats! Make Holiday-ready gifts ahead of time & keep 'em handy. 

(Hey, for us multi-taskers, you can Switch up the colors and candy for other occasions too. 

I got your back. Design idea galore on Pinterest!)

Cheers!
