The Real Mother Effort Podcast

Starting the Holiday Season on the Right Foot (Thanksgiving Edition)


Listen Later

This week officially kicks off the holiday season — kids home, work still happening, to-dos piling up, and Christmas somehow already around the corner. In today's episode, I'm sharing how I use Thanksgiving week to pause for a minute, reset my mindset, and help my kids do the same without making it a big production.

We talk about simple, real-life ways to weave in gratitude and the one low-maintenance activity we actually do as a family.

Episode Highlights

  • Why Thanksgiving is the ideal reset before holiday mania
  • How I use my CROPS framework to model gratitude and kindness
  • Easy ways to talk about thankfulness with kids (no lectures required)
  • Our super simple Thankful Tree tradition
  • A grounding reminder before December takes over

Happy Thanksgiving week — here's to starting the season on the right foot.
