Metro's Other Woman to the Holiday Rescue

By Metro's Other Woman November 10, 2014

Ever wanted to call 911 during the holidays? Not because you were actually hurt, but because you were stressed to the point that you thought there was potential you would hurt yourself  (or someone else)? Well don’t act just yet - There is a remedy to this extreme level of stress: Hire a Holiday Assistant!

Of course, you want to be Mrs. Clause or similar, but let’s get real - even she has a village of elves helping to bring the Holiday Cheer! Why not allow us, Metro’s Other Woman® to be your elf aka right hand?  We will even let you keep all of the credit. 

Now, there are some limits to what we can do – we can’t figure out what your child’s dream toy is or what to do about your mother-in-law during the holiday meal. BUT, we can do just about anything else - from helping you move the Elf On The Shelf every morning to decorating the house to helping you host an amazing holiday party. Some of the services we are best known for during the holidays include:

 

Shopping


Shopping - some people love it, while others despise it. We can’t make you love shopping if you do not already, but we will most cheerfully go shopping for you. Simply give us your list/money and consider it done!

 

Wrapping


Wrapping can be a major ‘time-suck’ with so many of other To-Dos, like going for a massage or meditating to prepare your mind for welcoming family in town for weeks….Give us your gifts, wrapping paper, and tape, and we will have them all wrapped up in no time.

 

Decorating


Let’s get real – who loves hauling those decorations down from the attic?  Don’t sweat - we’ve got you covered; your Holiday Assistant will take care of this pesky chore and will decorate your entire house with a smile on her face and a garland wreath in her hand.  After it’s all said and done, we will even ‘un-decorate’ and pack it all up!

 

Picking up and organizing


Now we are not maids, but we can most certainly help tidy up and make your house look immaculate. We will straighten closets, wipe down bathrooms, put up toys, wipe down counters, and so much more. The last thing we want you to stress about during the holidays is picking up around the house.  Why not use those extra minutes to put your feet up?

 

Planning


Are you hosting a holiday party this year?  From planning details to setting up and breaking down to staffing, your Holiday Assistant adds extra hands.  We take coats, pour the wine, and wash the dirty dishes – so you can enjoy your guests and stop running around like a crazy person! If you have a vision and need help making it come to life, our staff is filled with designers and DIYers!!

 

Holiday prep takes a ton of time, stress, and ability.  Stop fretting over it and get with the program -- join the other ladies that are re-claiming their lives.  (hey, we bet your ‘perfect’ friend is secretly using us anyway)
