Mom life is rocking my holiday stress pimple in all of its glory while taking 500 pictures of my daughter wearing a bow. 🙃😂 Funny how that works, right?
The toddler has been a grinch this year and hates the Christmas tree and lights. Who even is this kid? I was so excited for this season because he is finally old enough to make some memories and remember the traditions. I want him to feel the magic of the season, but I refuse to force it on him. We’ve warmed up to not unplugging the tree, eating Christmas cookies, and wrapping presents. Seeing the holidays through the eyes of a child and what is most important to him is a good wack to my behind. It’s a reminder that we’re making memories every single day. Maybe he won’t have the same favorite holiday activities that I do or did. That’s okay. As moms we stress ourselves out constantly, but especially at the holidays, because we want to make everything perfect. We want to make happy memories for our children. We tend to focus on the big things though. We see our slip ups more than our successes, myself included. To our little ones though, it’s the quality time that matters. It’s no so important that our cookies look perfect or our gifts are wrapped elegantly. It’s licking the spoon and playing with tape. It’s giggles and ice cream before dinner because “it’s the holidays.” Stop stressing, mama. It’s the little things our little ones are going to remember. 🎄❤️
