Maycember: A Working Mom's Guide to Surviving
Happy Maycember!
The month that rivals December in the number of activities, events, and commitments, especially for parents. IYKYK.
This is the time of year when everyone realizes that it’s almost the end of the school year and so we rush to fit all the things into the calendar while also juggling the holidays and other events that are fixed in May.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Mother’s Day
Graduations
Field trips
End-of-year performances and recitals
Spring sports tournaments
Last day of school
Prep for summer camp and vacations
Memorial Day
And more!
But unlike December, May is sneaky.
It doesn’t have the same reputation and so it often catches you off-guard. You think you have time. But then, *blink*, it’s almost Mother’s Day and all the good restaurants are booked.
And *blink*, it’s the night before Teacher Appreciation Day so you’re at the grocery store grabbing a gift card so your kid doesn’t go to school empty-handed.
It’s a marathon of a month with a lot to remember. So how do you make it through without completely exhausting yourself?
You start now and you plan.
For the last two years I've borrowed the strategies that work for creating an intentional holiday season (Nov & Dec) and applied them to Maycember.
And this year I've put it all into a guide to help you proactively plan and anticipate everything that's coming.
There are so many good, fun things that happen in May and I want you to enjoy and appreciate them instead of feeling exhausted by it all.
It's possible, it just takes a little time, a little thought, and a look at the calendar to see what's realistic.
Click below to grab a free copy of the guide. Then set aside 20-30 minutes to follow the process.
After you've followed the step-by-step process, all that's left to do is relax and let it be a ride!
It's an incredibly full month, but it's also a super fun one.
And we're all in this together.
You've got this!
