'Tis the season for running around like a chicken with your head chopped off.... but it doesn't have to be that way! We recently shot with one of our favorite local publications, Annapolis Home, and shared with their readers how we throw a holiday party here at Valerie Wheeler Interiors. And it reminded us that we kind of have this whole hosting thing on lock, but it took some trial and error. So we are sharing our tips and tricks for throwing a great holiday party that everyone can enjoy (even the host)!

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Summer break is officially coming to an end for you moms out there, and we're sure your kids are feeling it just as hard as you are. But don't you worry, we have come up with some tips and tricks as well as some must-haves to make getting back into the swing of things way easier on everyone (especially the mamas). Just remember that the first few weeks are always the hardest but we're all in this together! Go to Target, grab a Starbucks, take a load off and everything will be just fine!
