Note from the Publisher ~ Final Prep for the Holidays

By Jamie Clark, MK Roanoke Publisher December 16, 2014
Final preparations are underway this week for Christmas. My goal is to be done shopping and wrapping by Friday when my kids are done with school for Holiday Break. I love this time of year but I'm also always torn between so much to do with things moving at lightening speed, and wanting to slow down and enjoy each and every moment. My to-do list is a mile long, like everyone's, and I'm going to try to enlist these 3 simple ideas this week to help me get through it. 

1. Take care of me by drinking more water, eating less junk, and exercising for 30 min/daily. 
2. I am going to remember that "No." is a complete sentence and instead of baking cookies for my kids' class parties it's perfectly ok to bring in store bought ones. (The kids don't really care either way, right?)
3. I am going to play Christmas music every chance I get.
