The holiday season is officially here, and if you're anything like us, you know how quickly it can all get crazy. Between managing traditions, holiday shopping, and making magical memories for the family, it can feel like a lot. So, we’ve got your back in this episode of DWJBM with the ultimate “Mom-Approved Holiday Gift & Tradition Guide.” Trust us, it’s a good one!

First things first, it’s a BIG moment for Tori—it's her first full day away from Charlotte in SIX MONTHS (yes, you read that right, SIX months)! We’re chatting about how sometimes we don’t even realize how tough certain seasons are until we’re on the other side, and how this little break is giving her some much-needed space to breathe.

We cover all of our favorite toddler holiday gifts. After a few years of Christmases and birthdays with our little ones, we’ve learned that less really can be more—and intentional gifts? Always a win. We’re sharing our top picks and tips for finding those perfect presents that won’t overwhelm anyone (including you!).

Plus, traditions! The holidays are all about making memories, so we’re talking about how we plan to create new, special moments with our families this year. Whether it’s tweaking old traditions or starting fresh ones, we’ve got some fun ideas for how to make this season feel extra meaningful for the kids.

*As promised here is the 'Mommy Needs a Minute' playlist for when you need a moment to yourself to take a breath & reset : listen here
