In years past, I have written in-depth Childless Holidays Series. During my first-year blogging (2017), I wrote about finding joy by redefining holiday traditions. In 2018, we discussed HOPE. And in 2019, Finding PEACE… In 2020, I wanted us all to have some FUN. So, what was my Childless Holidays 2021 Series theme going to be…
In August, I re-evaluated my posting schedule. And I decided to give myself some grace. I don’t have to post on social media daily or write a blog weekly or send out an email newsletter monthly. (Though I often do.) So I decided that this year, I didn’t have to write a Childless Holidays Series with an in-depth theme. Instead, I simply allowed inspiration to strike during November and December. And here is what I was inspired to write…
Childless Holidays 2021 . . .
Blog #1: A Dog Mom Review
On November 1st, I wrote a dog mom review about Paint My Pooch Custom Phone Cases because I think these phone cases are the PAWfect gift for pet parents!
Blog #2: My Childless Response to “Are you pregnant?”
November 8th was a discussion about my response to the question, “Are you pregnant?” (You can imagine that I was a bit irked to be asked this!)
Blog #3: On Being Childless & Disenfranchised Grief
On November 15th, we talked about the fact that childless grief is disenfranchised grief.
Blog #4: Holiday Care Packages for Childless Elders
And on November 22nd, I told you about a brand-new holiday initiative spearheaded by Jobi Tyson, of Tutum Global. Jobi took donations in November so that she could send 100 holiday care packages to female childless elders in the United States! Way to redefine the holidays, Jobi!
