Here are few things that have helped
- I haven't made candy - I usually dip pretzels and make all kinds of other candy but it takes a lot of time and it's not good for us to eat it anyway.
- I am not trying to be super woman in the kitchen and cook for every event. Example - we are having our small group Christmas Party tonight and we are ordering out.
- We haven't stressed about school this week - we did a few math lessons and some reading and that's been about it - we are officially on Christmas Break until January!
- Emma didn't do ballet this year so we didn't have the Nutcraker production. I missed seeing her on stage and the cute costumes but she and I really enjoyed just going to see it together without the stress.
- I made time to go to my friend Stephanie's Christmas Dinner - this wasn't stress free for her because she made a wonderful dinner and her house was beautiful - but it was a nice night to dress up a little and hang out with some other girls. We had fun.
My mom is taking the kids this afternoon to her house to make cookies so I guess I have few hours to tie up the loose ends. I would love to say I had it all done and I could go get a manicure or soak in the whirlpool tub - but that's not happening! Maybe next year....
