What a full-on couple of months we have had at Caring Families Aotearoa! Conference was a blast! It was a privilege to be hosting our members and guests down in Christchurch and the hospitality of Rydges was amazing. It was difficult to leave you all because of how inspiring and joyful you all are. It was great to see so many caregivers take a break and enjoy one-another’s company. Check out the photo below of me and my husband all dressed up for the Country and Western themed Conference Dinner!
Preparing for the end of year can be stressful. I would suggest breaking your worries up into categories, think about what is within your control and ask if you have the resources to meet that demand.
If not, think of how you can increase your resources to help cope with that demand. And then finally, what is outside of my control that I need to accept. This will help you to focus on things that are important and put aside things that can be left for another day.
Want to print photos but find it costly? Well maybe this is the deal for you. Snapfish offer 50 free photos a month for the year – you just have to pay for the delivery. Simply download the app, register with Snapfish and away you go. If you want to kickstart your Life Stories books or make Christmas cards using photos, then this could be what you’re looking for.
