Anyone else feeling overwhelmed and rushed and underprepared about all this Christimas-is-coming stuff? Presents and prep, food and festivities – it should be a time of enjoyment n’est pas? But I am not enjoying. I am lugging sleeping baby to and fro crowded stores picking up that “one last thing”. I am feeling guilty and resentful. This is wrong for a Mom, about to watch her son celebrate his very first Christmas, feel so…right?
Bad Mom. June Cleaver would not be proud.
Thus, I youtube-ed one of my favourite videos Reflections of Motherhood (produced by my friend Alison at nummies.com). Trivia: Alison invited me to be part of this video but I was too pregnant to put it on my calendar — and I should have pushed myself — because it is fantastic…lesson: sometimes you should push yourself).
And which is why I am sharing it with you today…it is a great reminder for us Moms to relax and yet push forward…both at the same time. If I had gone to the taping – and written my message – it would have been BREATHE. Because we all need to be reminded to BREATHE – especially during the holidays.
