Every Mom’s Holiday Wish List

As the festive season approaches, the excitement is often mixed with a bit of chaos, especially for moms. Between the endless wrapping of gifts and the constant hustle, it can feel like a never-ending marathon. So, what’s on my wishlist this year? Let’s dive in!

  1. Pain-Free Body
    I could really use a body that doesn’t ache from running after my kids all day. Legs that feel light, a back that doesn’t scream in agony after lifting little ones, and arms that don’t feel like they’ve been through a wrestling match would be fantastic!
  2. My Waistline Back
    Could I please have my waistline returned? It seems to have gone missing during pregnancy and hasn’t shown its face since.
  3. Silence in the Car
    I dream of a car ride without the Frozen soundtrack on repeat. Seriously, can we let it go, Elsa?
  4. Fingerprint-Free Windows
    I’d love to gaze out of my kitchen window without seeing a smudge of fingerprints or food stains. If only someone could invent windows that resist both!
  5. Peaceful Phone Calls
    A 10-minute phone conversation without interruptions would be a dream. Sometimes I find myself hiding in the laundry room just to catch a break.
  6. Gym Membership
    I’d love to sign up for a gym membership, but I’d also like some time to actually use it. Maybe even a body that isn’t too exhausted to go! It would be nice to wear my gym clothes for their intended purpose instead of as everyday wear.
  7. Harmony Among Siblings
    My kids seem to think fighting over the smallest things is a sport. A little sibling love would be a welcome change!
  8. Quality Chocolate
    A year’s supply of delicious chocolate that I don’t have to share with anyone, even my husband, would be lovely. And eating it without hiding in the pantry? Yes, please!
  9. Children Who Listen
    My kids have mastered the art of tuning me out. At this point, even the dog listens better than they do!
  10. Stain-Free Clothes
    It would be great to get dressed in the morning without inspecting my outfit for surprise stains.
  11. Hot Meals
    By the time I serve dinner, it’s practically a frozen meal. Why do my kids always think my plate has the better food?
  12. Ketchup as a Vegetable
    Let’s just declare ketchup a vegetable already! It would make me feel much less guilty during mealtime.
  13. Yoga Pants as Business Casual
    If yoga pants could be classified as business casual, my life would be so much easier—and comfy!
  14. Non-Kid TV Shows
    I’d love to watch something other than the Disney Channel during the day without falling asleep halfway through.
  15. Hot Coffee
    Is it too much to ask for a cup of coffee that’s actually hot? I’m talking about fresh out of the pot, not reheated three times!
  16. Uninterrupted Showers
    A 10-minute shower without someone calling my name or starting a fight would be heavenly. I want to enjoy my time without choosing between shaving or washing my hair!
  17. French Fries as a Food Group
    Imagine if scientists declared french fries a food group. I could be the coolest mom around!
  18. Perfect Family Photos
    Just one photo where everyone is looking at the camera, smiling, and not blurry would be a miracle!
  19. Gift Cards Galore
    Give me all the gift cards to my favorite stores, along with a day to shop without my kids. That would be pure bliss!
  20. Date Night
    I want a true date night with my husband—not one that involves parent-teacher meetings. Let’s go somewhere nice, without crayons on the table!
  21. Instruments That Sound Good
    Someone needs to invent musical instruments that don’t make my ears bleed when the kids practice. Please!

Being a mom is incredibly rewarding, but it’s okay to want a little me-time too. Here’s hoping our loved ones are taking notes!
