3 more sleeps until christmas — who’s ready because I’m not 🥲 we’re scurrying to get everything done but we’re all still recovering from being sick. feeling very overwhelmed, stressed, and overstimulated. I love the holidays but also feel like I can’t rest and enjoy it seeing the house being a complete mess. endless dishes, neverending laundry, sh*t laying around everywhere, so many unfinished tasks. I know I have to learn to embrace the mess, but it’s so hard to relax because being in a cluttered space just drives me insane, maybe because of the overstimulation? goal for 2025 is minimalism, yeah? 😅 and idk if you’re like me but I feel like when I clean, I get cleaning ADD 🤦🏻‍♀️ — first I go to wash the dishes then I remember I left a used baby bottle upstairs, so then I go upstairs and then I see a pile of laundry that needs to be washed, then I go downstairs and notice that I never transferred the wet laundry to get dried, and then it ends up just being a bunch of half-completed tasks 💀 there were so many things I wanted to do since this was harper’s first christmas, but with everything going on, it is what it is. I feel like I’ve been trying to play catch up ever since I returned to my full-time job from maternity leave 🫠 motherhood, new mom, first-time mom, parenthood, life after baby, life after birth #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodjourney #newmom #newmomlife #firsttimemom #parenthood #overstimulatedmom #lifeafterbaby #lifeafterbirth #babysfirstchristmas #momsofinstagram #momlife #millenialmom #workingmom #workingmomlife
