When, in a few years, someone asks our children, "What were Christmases like at your house?" — what do we want them to say? What memories do we want them to carry with them?

It’s not the gifts that truly stay in their memory. It’s that feeling of warmth, the sense of connection they experience during this season, the moments spent together as a family, and the overall atmosphere they perceive at home.

For years, I’ve complained that in Australia “everything happens at once!”: Christmas, the end of the school year, summer… it’s a lot! But this year, I decided to do something different. Instead of staying stuck in the complaints, I chose to approach it from a place of gratitude and to find a way to enjoy this season with more calm. I haven’t managed it every single day, but I have definitely felt much more present (and less rushed!) than in previous years.

To make that shift, I put into practice a few things that have really helped me.

Today, I want to share some of those ideas with you, because I know I’m not the only one with a head full of a million things. I hope they help you create real moments of connection with your children and enjoy a more present, mindful Christmas.

Enjoy it! 🎄❤️

Cuando en unos años le pregunten a nuestros hijos, "cómo eran las navidades en tu casa" qué queremos que nuestros hijos digan? qué recuerdos queremos que se lleven?

No son los regalos lo que realmente queda en su memoria, sino esa sensación de calidez, la conexión que sienten en esta época, los momentos compartidos en familia y el ambiente que perciben en casa.

Por años, me he quejado de que en Australia "¡todo pasa al mismo tiempo!": la Navidad, el cierre del año escolar, el verano... ¡es una locura! Pero este año decidí hacer algo diferente. En lugar de quedarme en la queja, quise partir desde el agradecimiento y encontrar la forma de disfrutar esta época con más calma, no l,o he logrado todos los días pero si me he sentido definitivamente mucho más presente (y menos apurada!) que otros años.

Para eso, puse en práctica algunas cosas que me han ayudado.

Hoy quiero compartir algunas de esas ideas con ustedes, porque sé que no soy la única con la cabeza llena de mil cosas. Espero que les sirvan para crear momentos de conexión real con sus hijos y disfrutar de una Navidad más presente y consciente.

Que lo disfruten! 🎄❤️

A very personal episode where I share how different the birth experiences of my two children were and the lessons each one left me with. These are learnings I've carried with me ever since, not only as a mom but as a human being.

We’ll talk about perspective, creating our own story, realising what truly matters to us, and, most importantly, learning to let go of that need for control that we all feel sometimes.

I hope you enjoy it.

With love,

Fabi
