It’s official. The holidays are here! In recent years the festive season has caught me a little off guard. I never felt ready, and like I couldn’t fully relish it all. Last year I didn’t even have a tree (this was my last second solution). But no more. This go round, I’m planning to learn from all my past mistakes and make the most of the most wonderful time of the year. Decking the halls, cookie making, tree decorating – you name it, I’m doing it. I’ve learned if you have a game plan, the holidays don’t have to get the best of you.

Case in point: the big holiday feasts. The menus, the table setting – it can all get overwhelming. I teamed up with Pints and Plates to share my top tips for setting the perfect holiday table without breaking a sweat. As you can see below, I’m going green with my holiday table this year. Visit here for all the details.
