Parenting Reflections: The Holidays Aren’t Going as Planned—A Behind-The-Scenes Look at How I’m Handling It (& Why It’s Okay to Struggle When Everything Looks Perfect for Everyone Else)

The holidays are filled with magic, but they can also be incredibly challenging—especially when life doesn’t go as planned, and you’re parenting highly sensitive kids. Today, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes glimpse into what this season has looked like for my family. 

From battling sickness to missing a beloved annual show and falling behind on decorating, it feels like everything is taking longer than I’d hoped. But I realized the truth is, the holidays don’t always go the way we envision, and that’s okay.  

While it might seem like everything is picture-perfect for other families, the reality is often much messier. I’ll share how I’ve been navigating the chaos, finding little moments of calm, and holding onto joy amidst the overwhelm. Let’s explore how to show ourselves grace and embrace peace—even in the middle of the mess.
