This week, Landon and I are reflecting on our Christmas in Minnesota and what it’s been like creating new holiday traditions with our baby — especially ones that feel more aligned with our values.

We talk about planning our baby’s first birthday (how is that coming so fast?!) including decisions around cake, added sugar, and navigating expectations around a 1-year-old party. Landon also shares a powerful reminder about having an attitude of gratitude, especially in parenthood when the work can feel exhausting and thankless. We challenge you to reach out to someone today and let them know you’re grateful for them.

We end the episode sharing some exciting news — our podcast was selected #3 on Feedspot’s Top 15 Best Crunchy Mom Podcasts of 2025, and we are so thankful for our listeners who continue to share and support the show.
