The Holiday Headstart

2. Learning From Our Holiday Planning Mistakes


Listen Later

Having intentions to make the holidays feel special and actually bringing your ideas to life are two very different things! Whether you tend to leave things to the last minute, let overwhelm take over, or struggle to be present for the moments that matter most, we can relate.

There was a time where we resisted the need to plan ahead for holidays, but now we want to help you learn from our mistakes. Just like we created our own curriculum for the classroom when we saw a need, we’ve mastered the art of systems for holiday prep. 

In today’s episode, we’re sharing how we discovered a need for step-by-step holiday prep that keeps stress levels down. Plus, you’ll hear how to utilize Pinterest for getting organized without getting overwhelmed.

Episode Highlights:

[01:03] - Why we care so much about planning and preparing for the holidays

[02:42] - How we learned to keep stress levels down during holiday planning

[07:43] - A “get a headstart tip” for using Pinterest to get organized

[11:09] - What’s on our to-do list this week
