Lets
talk about the holidays……
I know that it seems like we just put away our swim suits, and school
just started again, but the reality that the holidays will soon be here is very
real.
For those of us with little children,
or those expecting….. the rush
hits us hard. It takes so many hours of
the day keeping those kids busy, fed, clean and out of trouble. If you are expecting, you are tired anyway
and this is just another thing you just don’t feel like you can handle!
Well, start getting ready this week.
If you plan ahead, and start to make your gift list and start buying
now, you will be on top of it all. Start by purchasing your smaller gifts this
week-if you can, wrap and label them also.
Write your list for the bigger gifts and search the internet for
price. Make sure you do all your
research before you leave your home.
Also any gifts that you will purchase online, do that now. If you order online items earlier, they will
arrive and not get stuck in the heavy mail time period.
.Plan your menu now for Thanksgiving and Christmas or Chanukah
dinners. Purchase your can goods for all
your holiday meals at the same time. If
you are having Turkey for all your planned big meals, then try to purchase them
at the same time (hopefully you have freezer room). This way, all you really will need will be
the fresh produce, drinks, and appetizers.
Make all your reservations if you are going out for any celebration
early.
Plan any parties you will have at your home early. Do your shopping the same method as for your
big dinners.
Treat yourself to someone else doing your cleaning, that is like a
little present to yourself!
By doing everything early and not rushing around, you will have less
stress, more quality time, and feel better.
Remember that stress causes toxins to
build up in your blood. And you will then be more likely to be sick,
depressed and not your self!
