Being a stay-home-mom to two energetic kids and a demanding husband, requires me to plan and always plan ahead. My family's needs come first so all the extra details in managing the home needs to be done without sacrificing my quality time with them.
Christmas time is chaotic only if you dont plan it. You plan the setting up of the tree, menu, grocery list, parties to attent and of course, your christmas shopping list. Start early... as early as September to make your list. Do the shopping and setting up of the tree by October. Start of November, finalize your menu, grocery list and gift wrapping. By December, you can relax, deliver those gifts and attend those festive parties stress-free. Plus of course, i get to enjoy my family when we go to the mall or do Christmas arts and crafts.
Try it. It only looks hard to do but believe me, this is easier than trying to squeeze everything in one month or less.
Have a Stress Free Christmas to all mamas out there.
