As moms, we often carry the mental load for each person in our family as well as the schedule, food plan, and activity director. It is exhausting! This time of year becomes extra stressful as we add the mental load of creating a "Magical" Christmas for our families.

Take a minute to evaluate your mental load...the things you feel responsible for planning and making happen. Are there some items of this list that are really the responsibility of someone else? Are there things that you continue to do for your child that they should really be doing for themselves?

If something comes to mind...leave a comment of what you might be able to turn over to your child or someone else in your life and give yourself the gift of a lighter mental load this Christmas!
