From Halloween through New Year\u2019s we\u2019re given opportunities to create new traditions and fulfill holiday wishes \u2013 sometimes of our own design and, increasingly as kids get older, sometimes at our kids\u2019 behest. This week Meagan and Sarah talk about the bell curve of holiday parenting: the early influence we have over just how things look and what fun is had, the middle dip as we learn to let go and kid-life dominates, and then the later years when we get to reclaim some control and design a season for our own desires. None of it is all-good or all-hard; but it changes over time and we\u2019re here for your pre-holidays 2022 motherhood pep talk \u2013 wherever you find yourself on that curve. Join us!
