This week’s episode is a little life update mixed with laughs and real mom moments. We recap our past week, including the girls officially starting their Girl Scout cookie sales (it’s that season again!), and we talk about the new shows my husband has been watching—The Residence and His & Hers on Netflix.

Since I barely watch TV and prefer to read the synopsis instead, we also get into how differently we consume shows in our house. It’s a fun, light conversation about family life, routines, and the little things that make up our week.

As we step into the new year, we’re talking about what not to bring with us. In this episode, we break down seven things to leave behind—stress, mess, lack of sleep, overcommitment, overstimulation, family drama, and more.

It’s a real conversation about protecting your peace, setting better boundaries, and starting the year lighter, clearer, and more intentional. Let’s reset and move forward the right way.

This year, we chose to celebrate Christmas a little differently by taking a family trip to Blue Ridge. Instead of staying home, we packed up the presents and focused on what mattered most—quality time together. In this episode, we talk about slowing down, enjoying train rides, sightseeing through the mountains, visiting Mercier Orchards, and the adventure of finding food when everything was closed on Christmas Day. It’s a reflection on choosing experiences over routines, embracing flexibility, and creating memories that will last far beyond the holiday season.

In this episode, we’re inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s annual Oprah's Favorite Things list — and we’re talking about the importance of giving gifts with intentionality, while also reminding ourselves it’s okay to treat ourselves sometimes.

Whether you’re shopping for loved ones or thinking about a little self-gift that brings you joy, we discuss how meaningful giving can uplift others and why self-giving can recharge your spirit.

Join us as we dive into what “favorite things” really means beyond the material — creating memories, honoring self-worth, and spreading kindness.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to survive Thanksgiving—not just get through it, but do it with peace and intention. We discuss giving yourself grace if you’ve lost a loved one, honoring those feelings while still making space for gratitude and connection.
