As we roll from Halloween right into November, the holidays feel like they are right around the corner because, let’s face it, they are. I wanted to take some time to talk about the pressures we feel as moms to “do all the things” with and for our kids. Where does that come from? Why do we feel it? How do we overcome it? As a SAHM to three girls, I find myself truly embracing simplicity. Our happiness doesn’t come from having a perfectly decorated front porch, or creating all the holiday-themed crafts, or attending the seasonal and holiday events. For us, it comes with slowing down and having time together. It’s time we stopped competing with each other, put aside the unrealistic staged magazines, cut back on our Pinterest pins, and focused on what truly makes US happy. Find out where I think additional pressure for parents to do all the things comes from. I’m guessing it will surprise you but also make you have an “ah-ha” moment.
