The holidays are here! As a family caregiver, our “to do” lists are long. Looking for ideas on how to save time as you care for your loved ones and try to enjoy the holidays? Here are a few ideas:
- Presents to wrap? Pull out the gifts, paper, tape and other supplies and ask your loved one for help. We care for my mother-in-law. She saves me time by wrapping my presents. It’s also a creative outlet!
- Feasts to prepare? I have started delegating many of our holiday traditional dishes. My mom’s pies are the best, so she takes care of dessert. My mother-in-law has a cranberry salad family recipe and as long as she is well enough to make it, I can count on her to fix it.
- Shopping to do? Shopping can be an enjoyable activity. But, during the holidays time is of the essence. I have found ordering online is the most efficient way to shop during the holidays.
- House to clean? Unfortunately, this is not my forte’. For us, we pitch in as a family and get the house cleaned and ready for guests.
