This time of year, there is so much stress it almost seems unbearable. As the day after Christmas approaches the country releases a collective sigh that the only things left to do are pack up Christmas, return gifts, and get back into a normal routine. Our schedule is especially out of whack becuase homeschool is all over the place and we are out and about more than usual. With all this, there is the additional stress of these horrible colds the kids are finally getting over. So- lets just say that stress has become normal for this holiday season. I am not a fan of stress this time of year- there is a reason I no longer work retail, so I have been trying to find ways of destressing. I finally found the solution and it is amazing- Adult Coloring Books.
