"Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth,
what joy is welcomed like a newborn child?"
~ Carl Sandburg
Happy Holidays, Merry Mothers!
As you're hustling and bustling around this holiday season, preparing cookies, wrapping gifts, and all the other zillions of holiday tasks on your
list, take time daily to pour some coffee (or tea), put your feet up, and reflect on the many blessings of this year.
Sure, there have been tough times. But with all the tough times, there is grace! To help you wring out the most from your baby's first Christmas,
I've included a brief list of hints on how to make this Christmas especially meaningful and stress-free.
Besides this "EZ Guide to Holiday Happiness", you'll also find how to boost your baby's brain development as
early as 3 months old. There's three special holiday recipes your baby can enjoy, as well as easy-breezy games that will send him into giggle-fits.
Enjoy!
