I’ve come up with a list of ways we can reduce our impact and support our local communities. Some of these can ultimately save you some money and some can be a fun activity to do with the kids while you're holed up in your home (any other parents been having days where you feel like pulling your own hair out?

Stay tuned over the next several weeks as we discuss all sorts of topics that will be relevant for you during this holiday season with our extra special series: Crisis Free Christmas.

...I thought I could be a hero on this last trip and forgo the stroller in favor of a leash, which is great for walking through large crowds, but I ended up dragging my 3 year old through the Houston airport because she insisted on crawling on her hands and knees like a “real dog on a leash”.
