What do you get for the year that truly has it all? If we were doing the shopping, we’d gift wrap a swift kick out the door and a one-way ticket back to the demon planet from which it came. Yes, 2020 has been naughty, but the holidays are here to hopefully help us all end the calendar on an emotional uptick. 

Preheat the oven to 350, dig through your kitchen drawers for that old can opener, and find a comfortable cushion on the couch: Thanksgiving month is upon us! While birds everywhere prepare to get basted, you can use this time to mentally prepare yourself for in-laws (even if it’s dinner-by-Zoom this year). 

Moms do everything, and they somehow make it look easy. Trust, it’s not easy to keep up with a home, excel at work, and have dinner on the table every night—and look good while doing it. So this year, treat your mom to something that can help her relax, unwind, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime, especially after the year moms have had. Because being cooped up in a home all year isn’t easy for anyone, but being cooped up in a home you have to maintain, while doubling as a teacher and a mother and keeping up with work, is even harder.
