Season 10, Ep. 27

Become a Friend of the Show! – join our Patreon community

We're wrapping up this year's Holiday Home series with an episode all about practicing a kindness mindset this season. We share what makes us feel grinchy and how we can make our way back to kindness amidst holiday stress. Plus we talk about specific ways we show kindness to people in our lives and community this time of year. Along the way we stumble into the controversial topic of to bake for neighbors or not.

Mentioned on the show:

Our previous Holiday Home Episodes: Holiday Logistics, Holiday Favorites, and last year's Holiday Decor & Organization, Holiday Magic & Nostalgia, and the Christmas Explosion Aftermath.

Erica mentions velvet pants -- we could not find a link but they are Pilco brand via Nuuly. These are similar.
