As if things weren’t hectic enough through Halloween, now that it’s November it’s time to start gearing up for the holidays. Meal planning, travel planning, gift planning, shopping, holiday cards, school events, parties, entertaining…it never ends, and it can take a toll on even the heartiest of fashionable housewives.

Have a cup of tea and read your favorite magazine.
