This is your official Sage Sisters permission slip to do… nothing. No reflecting, no planning, no “best year ever” energy. Just laughter, honest stories, and riding out the weirdest week of the year together. We’re talking holiday survival, abandoned routines, emotional whiplash, and giving ourselves grace before January tells us to level up again. If you’re still in pajamas, living on leftovers, and proudly avoiding productivity — pull up a chair. You’re with your people.

Tech Tip: Earlier this year in a study by the Family Online Safety Institute, which found that only around half of parents use parental control on tablets, with even fewer using parental controls on other devices. 

• Parental Controls for Google
• Parental Controls for Apple

Lock it down people - we can help!

Obsessions:

• Kate: Pajama Parties
• Anne:  Hourglass Foundation

It’s time for our Best of 2025 episode — the Sage Sisters version. We’re breaking down everything that truly stood out this year, from the shows we couldn’t stop watching (High Potential, The Terminal List: Lone Wolf), to the songs that lived rent-free in our heads, to the books, beauty products, and wardrobe pieces that actually earned their spot.

We’re also talking big wins (launching our app, hitting 50 podcast episodes), favorite trips, unexpected lifestyle shifts (doing less… and letting things go), and the little joys that made everyday life better — bartenders, good glassware, and makeup bags that finally stay organized. Plus, we’re calling out what we’re officially leaving behind (sorry, heels).

Think of this episode as our end-of-year group chat recap: honest, opinionated, funny, and very on-brand. If you’re looking for recommendations you can trust — and a reminder to celebrate the small wins — this one’s for you.

Obsessions:

• Kate: Beauty Carousel

It’s our December Smorgasbord, and we’re covering everything—because that’s the Sage Sisters way. From figuring out life and parenting in our 40s to fighting screens, hormones, and holiday chaos, we’re bringing the full range of relatable mom-energy this week.

We’re talking:
 🎬 Our current content obsessions — House of Dynamite, High Potential, Mission Impossible, DWTS, and what we’re watching next (hello, philosophical alien virus hive-mind series).
📚 Our next read (Culpability)—family drama, AI blame, and moral chaos? Yes please.
🛍️ The BEST December sales — Primary kids basics at 40% off, Abercrombie Kids sets that actually fit long legs, and the Anthropologie holiday dress Kate swears is magic.
💁‍♀️ Plus: embracing Sage Sisters branding, perimenopause vibes, parenting negotiations, and the eternal struggle of finding new hobbies now that our kids are out of the baby stage.

It’s cozy, chaotic, honest, and hilarious—just like the season itself.

Join us, Sage Sisters. Let’s survive (and maybe even enjoy?) December together.

Obsessions:

• Kate: Chess Set & Anastasia Micro-stroke Brow Pen

It’s that time of year — the great holiday gift scramble — but don’t worry, the Sage Sisters have you covered. This week, we’re sharing our ultimate holiday gift guide for all ages: toddlers, big kids, tweens, teens, husbands, in-laws, teachers, and even the impossible-to-shop-for people (yes, we see you).

Moms/Dads (Young Parents):

• Cuyana Makeup Bag
  • Grace and Stella Eye Patches
  • Nexxus Stick
  • Vaseline Flavors
  • Wet Brush
• Cozy Blankets (Lola, Cozy Earth, LoveSac)
• Blu Pepper Women’s Vest (Other Option if out of stock)
• Ugg Slippers
• Men’s Bags ( Toiletry Bag, Gym Bag)

Tween/Teen:

• Cozy Socks (Stocking Stuffer)
• LuLuLemon Make-Up Bag
• Owala Water Bottles

The holidays are officially here (too soon?), and the Sage Sisters are leaning into the chaos — cozy, crab legs, and all. From low-key Friendsgiving ideas to holiday party outfits that are festive and comfortable, Kate and Anne are sharing their battle plan for surviving the season without losing their sanity.

Kate’s learning poker, Anne’s missing theme days, and both are deep in holiday prep mode — complete with steak-and-shrimp Thanksgiving menus, Christmas list debates, and a collective “no thanks” to the Elf on the Shelf.

Plus, this week’s Tech Tip proves that even OpenAI might need a little quality control (looking at you, Bryan Cranston), and Kate’s obsession will have your bathroom smelling like a spa thanks to her new Shu Uemura rice water spray.

It’s all the holiday energy — cozy, chaotic, and slightly unhinged — Sage Sisters style.

Tech Tip: Don’t Trust OpenAI - ChatGPT.

Obsessions:

• Kate: Shu Uemura Izumi Tonic rice water
• Anne: Dear John Jeans

This week’s Smorgasbord has a little bit of everything — fall coziness, kid chaos, and wallpaper-induced regret. Kate’s feeling the crisp weather and cozy sleep vibes (even if she’s packing for four trips), while Anne’s riding high on soccer season and fighting through her home decor budget blues.

We’re diving into the parenting feels — from managing anxiety (thanks, Amy Poehler) to coaching our own kids and helping them through self-doubt — plus a few confessions about losing our cool and recovering after.

On the lighter side, we’ve got design updates (moved some pillows, called it progress), fitness goals (3-minute plank by 2026, anyone?), and a Tech Tip that’s all about giving kids a little independence without losing your mind.

It’s cozy chaos, family feels, and just enough self-awareness to keep us laughing through it all.

Tech Tip: Give them more independence. Let them go order in a restaurant while you wait in the car. Let them go get a few items at the grocery.  Let them walk to a friends house that’s the right distance.

Obsessions:

• Kate: Niece Stella’s Halloween as Alexander Hamilton and Eliza
• Anne: Crockpot meals are back!! Maya Kaimal Indian Simmer Sauce

This week, the Sage Sisters are taking the viral Oldster Questionnaire for a spin — answering big (and hilarious) questions about aging, identity, and how we really feel about our 40s. From realizing suburban life is actually kind of amazing to fighting grey hairs like it’s an Olympic sport, Kate and Anne get real about confidence, regrets, and refusing to give up carbs or fun.

They’re also recapping their highs and lows of the week — Halloween chaos, coaching meltdowns, wallpaper obsessions, and crockpot comebacks — plus a little talk about the NYC Marathon, early holiday decor, and a few unexpected life lessons along the way.

It’s aging with humor, heart, and a crispy button-down shirt energy only the Sage Sisters can deliver.

Obsessions:

• Kate: Dry Cleaning before trips and Beis Carrying-On Suitcase
• Anne: Nexxus Stick

It’s our bi-annual (fall) goal check-in — where we get real about how those big personal and business goals are actually going. Spoiler: some wins, some detours, and a healthy dose of chaos.

We’re catching up on the highs, lows, and hot topics of the week — from vertigo and speeding tickets to PTO drama and a shared book fair meltdown. Because progress isn’t always pretty, but it’s definitely entertaining.

Grab your coffee (or wine) and laugh along as we reflect, reset, and remind ourselves that surviving fall is an accomplishment all on its own.

Tech Tip: Prioritize Yourself and Find Quiet Time Each Day!
