My fourth-grade teacher showed up to school with painting materials one day. She told me she wanted me to paint something for her and my mom for the holidays.

That happened to me when I was sitting on the floor of my fourth-grade classroom, painting a poster for a school project.

Few of us make the kind of holiday checklists like the mom who went viral for her meticulously planned itinerary a few years ago. If you happened to see the post, it may have struck a nerve with you — either because her schedule sounded like #MomGoals or perhaps because you prefer to be soft celebrating this holiday season. For me, it's the latter. I started the year lying on crinkly tissue paper with electrodes stuck to my chest as a machine recorded my heartbeat.

Don't get me wrong, I like saving money, but I am nowhere close to her determination to lower grocery bills using coupons or price-matching guarantees.
