Holiday Balance
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Here we are, one week from Christmas.
I think this will be the last newsletter of 2007. Just can't picture doing one for Christmas Day or New Year's. It's time to relax and have more time for family for all of us.
I hope no matter what holidays you celebrate at this time of year, you and your family have a wonderful time.

Seven Steps to Holiday Balance
Do you believe "holiday balance" is a pipe dream or a possibility? If decorating, shopping, baking, and holiday preparations now eat up every spare moment, balance may seem elusive, something to save for your New Year's wish list. I believe it is not only possible to enjoy balance during December, but it's an essential ingredient in a happy holiday. The secret, as perfectly demonstrated by a circus tightrope walker, is to make small shifts and slight adjustments when necessary. This time of year, it may take more frequent adjustments to maintain balance. Here are seven steps to help keep you on your high wire.

Baking with the Kids
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
We had a really fun day yesterday. Went up to the local mountains because we had noticed snow. The kids were just delighted because they hadn't seen it before, although they were a bit disappointed in the quantity and that it was too hard to make snow angels where there was enough snow to do that otherwise.

Making the Holidays Happy
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
No idea how many of you saw it, but I had a doozy of a downtime for this site over the weekend. Somewhere around 19 hours, and due to a disc going bad on the server I'm hosted at. Drove me completely nuts waiting for my site to come back up and to see that everything was, indeed, fine.
On the plus side, the company I host with is generally extremely reliable. Aside from this particular, highly unusual event they've had less downtime than anyone else I've ever hosted with. That counts for something. I'll be shocked if I ever have something that bad happen with them again. I'm just glad it happened over the weekend when fewer people are trying to visit my site anyhow. If it had to happen, better then than other times.

Making The Holidays Happy For All!
For us grown-ups the holidays are a festive time. We travel to the homes of family and friends, or invite them into our own. There we show off our children, and indulge in recipes from our own childhoods.
