Stress-Free Holiday 1

When buying gifts don't get caught up in the small gift syndrome. The idea that you can't just give someone something that's little bitty, because it is little bitty and they will feel cheated. It's the thought that counts and no matter the price or size on a gift, if it's something truly thoughtful and personal and something they really want, they will not care how big it is.!
Make a list, set a budget, and don't go over.!
Use paper plates, plastic forks, plastic cups for dinner. Makes for an easy clean up.!

Bake early and freeze! A lot of cookies and treats can be frozen and thawed out just in time for your holiday guests or can be used for gift giving!
Shop early. -Keep it simple. Use alternative ideas to wrap presents. Like tote bags, storage boxes. Use butcher paper from the grocery store or school and have kids color and draw on.!
3
Purchase gifts throughout the year when a good sale starts.
8
Use coupons for food and even toys. Research prices ahead of time online. Some retailers offer free shipping. Amazon usually carries same items as in stores a lot cheaper.!
If planning a large meal, have guests bring a side or an item so you are not stuck making the entire meal.!

Getting house ready for company. Do a quick clean through using Windex and disinfecting wipes. Vacuum an hour before they arrive. Clean up clutter like magazines, DVDs, games, etc. Will take about 20min and house will be perfect for a few hours of company. Don’t stress clean the house for guests and then have to clean it again after they leave.! !
May be fun and easier to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. We do for the adults in our family, that way we focus on the children and only have to purchase 1 gift for the adults.!

A New Years Journey !
It’ s come to the point of saying good-bye to Tots To Teens Magazine. We will not be gone completely, but with the New Year comes new adventures for us! During this time of year, we reflect on what is important to us. For me personally, I am so lucky to have the family I have {though sometimes they make me want to pull every hair out of my head}, the friends I have {who make me laugh, smile, and allow me to vent when needed} and companies to work with {who allow me to experience and share new ideas and products with you}. Starting Tots To Teens Magazine was just an idea I had one day that has allowed me to grow in ways that I wasn’ t too sure about. Life is coming around full circle for me because with each idea I’ ve had, it’ s lead me to a new adventure and Tots To Teens Magazine has not been any different. Soon I will be revealing what I feel is my passion and what I truly was meant to be doing. I never thought I’ d be one or even say the words but I am and I am proud of it and looking forward to what it has in store for me. Be on the lookout after the first of the year for big news that I’ ll be sharing! I hope that you will continue to support and love what I do. I am simplifying my life and finally taking it back. My goal is to find and have true happiness and to be at peace with my life and what I am doing on a daily basis. Thank you for all your love & support of Tots To Teens Magazine. You have made this journey amazing & a whole lot of fun! This isn’ t “good-bye”, it’ s “I’ ll see ya later”!
Love, Phyllis Pometta & The Tots To Teens Magazine Staff !
