Laurel Crossley joins us again with guest host Kathryn Collins to explore how small, thoughtful decisions can make a huge difference for families during the holidays. From keeping little ones comfortable and predictable to helping older kids engage in meaningful ways, we cover boundaries, calm moments, and simple strategies to create lasting memories without the overwhelm.

Key Points:

💥 Keeping young children settled and comfortable, even when routines are challenged.

💥 Setting clear expectations with extended family to reduce tension and stress.

💥 Creating calm spaces and rhythms that support babies, toddlers, and new parents.

💥 Reimagining gift-giving and holiday activities to boost connection, not clutter.

💥 Involving older children in planning, budgeting, and traditions that teach life skills.

💥 Recognizing when it’s time to pause or step back to protect your child’s well-being.
