Mommy & Daughter Holiday Self-Care
What if I told you that the holidays are the best time to create the most magical self-care alliance? Wild right. But ladies, after having my little one and having a chat with my mom- a mommy of four, I think I may have figured out the best way to enjoy the holidays with less stress and anxiety. Here’s a brief storytime and a 5 step plan to a beautiful mommy & me, holiday self-care challenge.
M&d holiday self-care
Life as a mommy can be stressful, let alone life as a mommy during the holidays. I remember my life pre-baby, which was literally just the other day (no seriously, it was just the other day, my baby is only 8 months) and my goodness, the thought of Christmas was so exciting and don’t get me wrong, Christmas is still so exciting but this year there’s an added pressure. As a mommy, you want to make sure every holiday is memorable for all the fun activities and toys that your little ones receive.

Age Modification
If your little one is below the age of 3, your Mommy & Daughter holiday self-care will look different. Creating an unconventional spa day could look like a cute simple way of introducing things you love to your little girl and simplifying it to their level of comfort while still being super luxe. For example, a nice of self-care could look like, creating a nicely lit room with low lit Christmas lighting, matching PJ’s, matched with your fave hot drink and their fave hot drink – their milk.
Don’t be afraid to get as creative as possible with minimal work, remember, this is a luxury day but also about self-care, it is not supposed to be an over extortion of time and effort.

my self-care
The holidays can make us so busy as parents, it is so easy to give our child an iPad, phone, or put them in front of some sort of screen so we can get things done. But the holidays are not suppose to be about running around crazy, it’s our time to reflect and enjoy our family. As a lover of all things internet related, it can be hard to step away from a screen but it is definitely a necessity. I always want Alína to know and feel that I am pouring my time into her while also truly enjoying the holiday season! Apart of my self-care this year is too step away from my phone and minimize both myself and Alína’s screen time.
Our mommy daughter self-care will consist of time with our family across the pond. I plan to facilitate games for both Alína and my younger nephews and nieces to really make the holidays a time for bonding and reconnecting. Believe it or not, the best form of self care is the moments you spend smiling and laughing while feeling the bond and energy of the ones that you’re doing it with.

The holidays does not have to be a time for hustling and bustling, it can be a time of rest and rejuvenation if you plan for it to be that. It’s almost impossible to make every day a day of self-care, but taking out the time to bring self-care to your daughter from a young age can truly help them learn the beauty of taking time out to reset. Remember, luxury and self-care do not have to be expensive or extremely time-consuming. It can be as simple and cost-effective as these three steps. Go ahead and save this post or note it down and use it not only for xmas but as a part of your monthly schedule.
