Here's exactly how to have a minimalist Christmas, with all the fun, joy and love. I see it all the time—posts about how overwhelming it feels when more gifts are coming in, and the thought of telling family and friends, “Please, no more stuff!” seems unbearable.

There are a lot of online therapy platforms out there, and this one I trust. I will be completing an online-therapy.com review shortly, and doing it in comparison to my betterhelp review. It's hard to find an online counselor you can trust, and I know recommendations like this can be really helpful. Therapy online has become very normal, and useful, especially for moms.
