The Holiday Season Is Upon Us

The holiday season is upon us once again. When you think of all the things that need to happen between now and January 2nd, does your heart start to pound a little? Mine does.

We only get this holiday season with our kids the exact ages once-right now. When we lookback at the photos from the holidays of 2022, what do we want to see? Mom with extra bags under her eyes and everyone with a strained smile? Or do we want to remember a season of creating fun memories with our families? It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the holiday and telling moms to make it more meaningful seems like one more thing to add to your over-filled plate, doesn’t it? What if I told you it doesn’t have to be an extra chore? Instead, let’s be smart about setting our families up for success this holiday season.

What does that mean?

How about we set clear expectations for what is going to happen? How about we sit down together as a family each week and have a fun and productive family meeting that can address any overwhelm and find out what is important to each family member? What if we can do that quickly? What if we can infuse gratitude into our daily lives so that Thanksgiving is actually about thanks and the holidays are actually a time of joy?

The holidays are supposed to be a season of thanks, joy, and family togetherness. Unfortunately, this time of year often turns into mom stress overload. We can do better for ourselves and for our families, mamas. We can do better without working harder.

Join the Meaningful Holidays Challenge to make the holiday season 2022 the time of joy and love that you see in the Hallmark Channel movies. We can make things smoother for our families and ourselves – together. See you in there!
