In this episode, we talk:

1. Why is *everything* a special occasion, and how did we get here? 
2. What happens if you don’t find joy in going over the top on all the things? 
3. Handing our kids the reins to take ownership of some of these special occasions.
4. Let them be bored: why we struggle to tolerate the ordinary and mundane. 
5. Being unapologetic about your family values and giving yourself permission to NOT be extra unless you want to.

We think you’re either going to love this Stace + Steph episode or hate it. Yep, it might be a little polarizing. Because today we’re talking about moms who go OVER THE TOP for special occasions: extreme birthday party themes, Valentine's day, St. Patrick's Day, The Hundredth Day of School, overachieving Tooth Fairies, Saint Nicholas Day, “Spirit week” at school: twin day, pajama day, crazy hat day, sports day--how are we supposed to stay on top of all this stuff, and where exactly did all this shit come from? Find out how we feel about it, and how to cope in an over-the-top mom culture when you don't feel like being "extra."
