General

Shelby Martin presents 4 Ways to Make the Holiday Season More Enjoyable posted at GoNannies.com Blog, saying, “When most parents hear the word "Holidays", "Christmas" or "Hanukkah" there is a feeling of joy and excitement mixed with a bit of anxiety and possibly even panic. Everything around, from store fronts to advertisements, says that this time of year is supposed to be fun, peaceful and all about family, but rarely do parents feel that way. It is possible, however, to make it to the end of the season with some joy and peace left intact.”

Cherry Liu presents 30 Blogs with the Best Holiday Drink Recipes posted at House Sitting Jobs, saying, “One of the best things about the holiday season is being together with family and friends. Many of these get-togethers are in the form of holiday parties and one way to make these occasions more fun and festive is to serve specialty drinks. Whether they're alcoholic cocktails, or less potent mocktails, these drinks can add a fun twist to your holiday celebrations.”

Health

Talia presents Light Therapy Pros and Cons posted at Centre for Emotional Well-Being, saying, “Does winter get you down? If it does you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder. If you are then you may benefit from light therapy – a natural alternative to anti-depressants. Find out how it works and all the pros and cons of light therapy.”

Peter Stockwell presents Family Winter Health Care posted at The Senior Walking Fitness Blog, saying, “Suggestions for keeping your family healthy this winter.”

MITCHELL MORRIS presents 10 Signs That Your Nanny May Be Suffering From Depression posted at Full Time Nanny, saying, “There are a number of reasons why a private childcare provider could struggle with depression, from environmental factors, like missing her own family, to physiological ones, like a clinically-diagnosed chemical imbalance. Dealing with depression while managing the household of a busy family could be overwhelming for your nanny, who may be reluctant to broach the issue with you for fear of repercussions up to and including the loss of her job. If you're concerned that your childcare provider could be suffering from depression, here are 10 of the signs to look out for.”
