Shownotes

Sara and Lacey are back with Part 2 of the holiday Q&A series, tackling your real questions about the practical side of the holidays. From overflowing toy rooms to holiday decoration overwhelm, from setting boundaries with family to hiding presents from snooping kids—we're covering the stuff that actually comes up when you're trying to navigate the season. No fluff, just practical tools and permission to do what works for your life.

What We Cover:

  • Managing toy overload before gift-giving season hits (and whether to involve your kids)
  • The sweet spot number of toys that keeps kids actually engaged
  • Holiday decoration storage that makes putting things away easier
  • Marathon vs. relay: breaking down big tasks into smaller steps
  • Getting clear on what's draining you before setting boundaries
  • How to express your needs without being emotionally charged
  • Practicing boundary conversations in low-stakes situations
  • Where we hide presents
