Episode 261: Keeping Up with the Super Mamas: 2020 Holidays at Home

IMG_7516.jpg

Happy holidays from the Super Mamas! This week we’re catching you up our holiday plans - what we did for Thanksgiving, how we’ve decorated our homes for Christmas, and our parents FINALLY visiting (safely) after a year apart! We also have a new family inside joke about Paulina and Bricia’s daughter that you are going to love. 😂 Bricia is also going on her first trip since Augustina was born and she’s so excited to do absolutely nothing, that she may extend the trip even longer. 😂 Paulina is just glad the girls are back in school after a week long vacation because the house is a mess and she is done cleaning up! At least for now.

We’re so blessed to be able to spend time with our family this holiday season since we know not everyone can due to covid, so we’re soaking in all the bonding while we can! And we’re so lucky to have our Super Mamas sisters! How are you celebrating the holidays this year? Share you traditions with us below!

Our Christmas Tree Decorating Tips

  • Search “Whimsical Christmas Tree” on Pinterest for Christmas tree inspiration

  • Use ribbon. You can change it up every year but keep the same ornaments, and it looks like a completely different tree!

  • Try a theme! Paulina is doing “red & gold” to keep a classic and Bricia has a pink tree.

  • Get shatterproof ornaments while the kids are still little. They may bump into the tree while they’re learning to walk or try to play with the colorful ornaments, so wait to invest in good ornaments until they’re a little older (and less clumsy 😂).

Pick or Tip of the Week

You always have to be prepared for kid sniffles during the colder seasons! Paulina always tries to go for the natural or homeopathic remedies and one of her fave brands is Boiron. The cold calm tablets are non-drowsy and great at the first sign of a cold. You put it under the kid’s tongues and it always helps boost their immune system and not get full blown sick. Anything to help during this time!

Speaking of Fancy trapos like we do in the entirety of this episode, Bricia’s pick are these fancy servilletas. She uses them every time she has get togethers. They’re thick, elegant, and disposable too!
