Holiday season is almost here! And as a mom of 3, I know how stressful and overwhelming things can get. Especially if you are like me and love to decorate and create the "best" holiday gatherings and memories for the kids. So I am here to share five holiday hacks to help make your holiday season more enjoyable and less stressful:
Plan Ahead: Start your holiday preparations early. Make a to-do list and create a schedule for tasks such as shopping, decorating, and meal planning. This will help you stay organized and reduce last-minute stress.
Online Shopping: Take advantage of online shopping (and the sales!) for gifts and decorations. I've You can often find better deals, avoid crowded stores, and have items delivered to your doorstep, saving you time and hassle. HERE are some of my favorite home decor items this holiday season.
DIY Decorations and Gifts: Get creative by making your own holiday decorations and gifts. For example, you can repurpose and redecorate a wreath or things you may already have! Not only can this be a fun family activity, but it also adds a personal touch to your celebrations and can save you money.
Potluck Parties: If you're hosting a holiday gathering, consider making it a potluck. Ask your guests to bring a dish to share. This not only eases the burden of cooking for a large group but also allows everyone to contribute and share their favorite recipes. Pro tip: consider a theme. I recently hosted a fun color charcuterie board party and it was a huge hit.
Simplify and Prioritize: Remember that the holidays should be about spending quality time with loved ones, not stressing over perfection. Simplify your traditions and focus on what matters most to you and your family. Prioritize the activities and events that bring you the most joy.
Let me know if you try any of these holiday hacks :) I hope you'll enjoy a more relaxed and memorable holiday season.
