With New Year’s Eve and Day still to come, it’s fair to say that we’re still in the holiday season. And, while you’ve been busy trying to make the season joy-filled, fun, and memorable – it’s probably fair to say that it brings with it a fair amount of stress. After all, you may have college kids who have descended upon you and are trying to live their college lifestyle while in your space. Or school-age children who have a
