Holidays often mean more stress for Moms, but it doesn't have to be that way.

The key to headache-free holidays is simplifying and systematizing whatever you can in your life. One thing you can easily simplify and systematize is meal planning.

By having meal plans, your food preparation will be easier and faster. You and your family are also more likely to eat home more, spend more meals together, and eat healthier food.

Meal planning also helps you be more organized when food shopping at the grocery. When you shop with a list, you'll find that you spend less time and less money at the grocery.
