Okay, real talk—

Martha Stewart is about to take over Netflix on the 30th, and yes, I've already signed up for the Food52 holiday cookie exchange because, I’ve been told, I have a habit of overcommitting. Pfft.

A row of cozy holiday-themed items, starting with a turtleneck sweater, cinnamon rolls, marbled gold Christmas ornaments, and a gold-adorned Christmas tree. Finishing the lineup is a luxurious gift box from Molton Brown, tied with a black ribbon, perfect for the holiday season.

There's this pressure to have everything perfectly planned by now.

But here's the thing:

The magic isn't in perfection. It's in the layers, the quirks, the story your home tells when it's lived in—kind of like that well-worn leather chair that just gets better with age.

Do I wish I was a leather chair?

Anyway, with everything going on in the world, I want you to promise me one thing:

Give yourself some grace this week.

Breathe a little deeper, and remember, it’s not that serious. There’s always tomorrow.

I'm sharing my best-kept secrets, things that bring joy back into the season without making us lose our minds.

We’re doing this together, and if I can make it work, you can too.

We’ve got this, I promise.
