I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour for The Motherhood on behalf of the makers of Childrenās MOTRINĀ® and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
Hey All!
As the holidays are quickly approaching, I’m getting myself ready for the busy months ahead. With Christmas shopping, family gatherings, family celebrations, and family dinners to plan, It can be a lot for even the most organized of people to handle. Especially if you’re a mom with a young family. There is no reason why you can’t stay unstoppable mom for the Holiday Season. There are a few things that help me get through the holiday season that I thought I would share with you.
Here are my tips for staying unstoppable:
1. Stock up on items you know you and your guests that are visiting for the holidays will use. Toilet paper is one of those things. Make sure you buy double the amount you usually buy to ensure you don’t run out for your guests.
2. Ring up your visiting holiday guests ahead of time and find out what products they like to use. Make a little welcome basket with these products for them. It may not be hotel turn down service, but it will make them feel you went out of your way to make their stay a pleasant one.
3. Do you’re shopping ahead of time! I honestly shop all year round for Christmas. I see something and put it in what I call our Christmas Closet. It prevents having to do any frantic holiday shopping during those hectic holiday months,
4. Prepare as many meal items for your holiday meals in advance. Items like mashed potatoes and sauces can be prepared the night before and stored so you’re not trying to do everything day off.
5. Make sure you’re well stocked on all your cold and flu remedies and medicine as the season is coming. Childrenās MOTRINĀ® is always stocked in our house.
6. My biggest tip is to always take one hour a day for yourself during this busy time to relax and pamper yourself.
I hope these tips help you stay an unstoppable mom during the upcoming holiday season!

I take on way too much. I guess I think I’m unstoppable!!
Great tips! I am not an unstoppable mom … I am more of a OH NO Christmas is TOMORROW type of mom ;0
So important to do as much as possible ahead of time! I am so not an unstoppable mom though š
I’m right there with you, I’m going to have to get a ton of Motrin since the weather is changing and that’s when he gets the sickest.
Great tips, especially stocking up and attempting to shop early.
I always shop early! I can’t muster up the bravery to weave through the crowds during the holiday season.
