Episode Show Notes

In this episode we talk about all things Christmas! What we love, our traditions, and how we love our friends during the holidays! Brandy and Shellee share how lists are the key to happiness and organization. We all agree that including kids in Christmas baking can be special, but sometimes its just better to put them to bed, pour a glass of wine and bake alone! We commiserate over cleaning ice cream out of car seat buckles as well as a hack for buying dairy queen blizzards for children. Shellee shocks even Brandy with how organized she is with her list system. Brittany shares how she isn't ready to let go of some special traditions, and Brandy talks about how they are simplifying Christmas by evaluating which traditions will continue on. We discuss the importance of self care during this busy season, and how Shellee is on the hunt for new Christmas morning breakfast tradition. Brittany shares their fun Christmas Eve tradition, and her son Bennett's plan to trap Santa.  We hope this gives you a little inspiration to take care of yourself this Holiday Season, enjoy your traditions, and spend time with friends and family!
