Real-Life vs. Expectations | What Christmas with kids really feels like (and how to make it better!)

‘Tis the season to mute social media accounts whose perfect photos cause too many feelings (just until January, maybe). This week we talk about how to tap into your own desires for the season and ask, “What do I want this Christmas to look like?” We explore how to successfully make memories with your family and experience some magic with maximum joy and minimum effort. Layne lays out a plan for collaborating with your kids to wrap a good narrative around expectations and Jess speaks to the pressure to make everything special in early motherhood while feeling so, so tired (Spoiler: if you’re keeping the baby alive and fed, well done! Enlist family and friends to help with the celebration part). Once again, we talked to each other for too long and ran out of time for a listener question but we promise to get a handle on it in the future 🤞 Shop Very Good Mothers Club for all your Christmas gifts 🎁 Join Very Good Mothers Club to be a part of our community and get your questions answered on a future episode!
