Christmas Eve with In Laws

It’s the first Christmas with my baby boy and I’m sooooo emotional. It’s been a really hard year. Hard pregnancy(ies), hard relationships and more.

I always imagined my first Christmas with my kids would have been different. I had hoped I’d been in a better place mentally and emotionally, financially as well.

There were so many traditions I wanted to start Family photoshoots I wanted to maybe try for annual holiday photos. DIY holiday decor, driving around the lights, picking out a tree, baking cookies… it’s hard to feel like I’m not feeling him as a mom and I’m not failing myself for the type of parent I want to be

And then everything hit the fan with having to move apartments due to mold, my car breaking down, losing contact with family members, family members moving, losing friends… etc

It was still a cute time and I’m glad I was able to see him smile and enjoy himself with the lights and music. He loved his toys and his family loved him more.

I hope you’re having a beautiful holiday season, it’s rough outside so treat yourself kindly 🫶

... Read moreThis Christmas, families all around the world are creating their own unique traditions, especially during significant milestones like a baby's first holiday. Many parents embark on traditional activities such as family photoshoots, crafting DIY holiday decor, and exploring festive light displays. These moments, though sometimes overshadowed by stressors, bring a sense of joy and connection. It's normal for new parents to feel a whirlwind of emotions during such times, especially if they’re facing personal challenges like financial difficulties or changes in family dynamics. Despite the hurdles, the spirit of the holiday season works its magic by offering opportunities for reflection, gratitude, and bonding. Taking active steps to cherish these moments fosters a lasting impact on our children. Activities such as baking cookies and decorating trees not only create memories but can also enhance emotional well-being for the family. Embracing positivity, kindness, and support from loved ones can transform even the toughest holidays into joyous celebrations. As families adapt to new realities and responsibilities, focusing on what truly matters—love, connection, and cherished traditions—can help pave the way for brighter holidays in the future.
