The Joy Filled Podcast | Christian Motherhood & Encouragement

You asked, I answered! When it comes to Christmas, everybody wants to tell you how you should or shouldn’t celebrate and that can be so overwhelming in the early years of motherhood as you figure out what is right for your family. So, I polled my Instagram community for what your biggest Christmas questions are and am answering them ALL in this episode! We talk Santa, presents, traditions, and more. As always, I hope you walk away encouraged (and maybe get some new ideas while you’re at it!)
