Hey y'all! This past summer, I sat down with my village to talk about what it means to Live in Love while parenting. If you haven't listened go back and check those out! 
Since Christmas is my most favorite time of year, I wanted to surprise you all with some Christmas conversations Annie F. Downs and I had with these guests, too! You'll hear from Thomas Rhett and myself, Grace Hackett, Lindsey Marlin, Kari Kampakis, Sissy Goff, David Thomas, Kate Coleman, Lindsey Nobles, Patoya Hall, Dave and Syndey Clayton, and my girls. Go grab your favorite mug, heat up something warm to drink, and listen along to this collection of festive conversations. I hope you enjoy this suprise show and have a very Merry Christmas!
