Family Fun Friday: The Holidays are coming

Do you feel that?  It’s the inexorable beating of the little drummer boy heralding the arrival of the holiday season.  The holidays are both a time of excitement and  a huge source of stress for me each year!  As a crafter, I love making ornaments and gifts for people but it can add even more stress to an already busy season.

This week’s features are all centered around the approaching season.  I picked posts that offer money saving tips for holiday shopping, verses to help comfort stressed moms, and ways to relax.

Money Saving Apps and Websites I save money by shopping online and using many of these apps!

Tips to Find Time to Exercise When it gets stressful and overwhelming, a quick workout session can rejuvenate you.

12 verses for when you feel stressed These verses can ease your stress too.

10 Reasons why Moms are always tired These reasons are on a normal day!  Add Christmas shopping, Holiday cooking, gift wrapping, holiday parties and moving the ELF on the Shelf and sleep becomes an afterthought.

6 Tips to manage busyness Excellent tips to help conquer the busies.

Where to find craft supplies on a budget well, because I love to make stuff.

Each featured post will be pinned by the hostesses so be sure to link up your best!
