Dear ,

Paskong pasko na!

Ramdam ko na ang lamig ng simoy ng hangin.

At ang challenges na haharapin para sa holiday season na to.

Juggling motherhood duties with Christmas preparations can indeed be challenging.

But with some strategic planning and self-care, you can make the holiday season more enjoyable.

Here are some tips:

1. Prioritize Tasks:

• Identify the most important tasks to do for the day. Focus on what truly matters and allocate time accordingly.

2. Create a to-do list

• Write down your daily list of things to do before you go to bed at night. That way, pagkagising mo kinabukasan, gawin mo na agad. Wala ng isip-isip pa kung ano ang uunahin. Mas mabilis kang makakakilos dahil ang list mo na lang ang iyong titingnan.

3. Delegate Responsibilities:

• Don't hesitate to delegate tasks. Enlist the help of people around you, especially your children. Trust that they can do it too. Share the load to lighten the burden.

4. Set Realistic Expectations:

• Understand that you can't do it all, and that's perfectly okay. Set realistic expectations for yourself, and remember that perfection is not the goal.

5. Online Shopping:

• Consider doing some or all of your Christmas shopping online. This can save time and allow you to shop at your convenience.

6. Self-Care is Non-Negotiable:

• Remember to take care of yourself. Schedule short breaks to relax, whether it's enjoying a cup of tea, reading a book, or taking a brisk walk.

7. Learn to Say No:

• Don't be afraid to decline additional commitments. Your well-being and family time take precedence during this season.

Remember, the holiday season is about joy, love, and connection. 

By balancing your responsibilities and taking intentional steps to simplify…

You can create a memorable and enjoyable Christmas for your family.

Have a meaningful yet restful week ahead!

Nagmamahal,

Mommy Fivemay
