Just like everything else in 2020, this holiday season is going to be unlike any other. With rising COVID cases and families figuring out how to safely celebrate this year, it’s presenting a ton of challenges: How do we celebrate with family and maintain social distancing boundaries? How can we adjust our kids’ expectations while still keeping the innocent magic of the season? It’s yet another chapter in this year that is filled with uncertainty at every turn. That’s why we’ll be sitting down this week on Facebook Live with certified parenting coach Maria Sanders, who’s going to offer us tips and strategies for navigating the many layers we’ll be taking on as moms this holiday season.

So head over to our Facebook page on Tuesday at 8 PM and click on the videos tab on the left-hand side to watch. Send a quick hello in the comments, tell us how you’re doing, or ask us a question— we’d love to hear from you. In the meantime, answer our quick one-question poll, and you could be featured on NJMOM and News12 this week.
