Summary

Gift ideas for a second baby who wants for nothing, managing holiday hosting stress as a mom with a clingy toddler, tips for staying organized during the holidays, and standing your ground when extended family lays on the guilt. We answer these listener questions in this week's holiday bonus episode. Join us!

LINKS MENTIONED:

All our holiday-related podcast episodes are here
Sarah and Katie did a baby, toddler, and little kid gift guide last year, and all the links have been updated!
Sarah loved Erica's self-care tips in The Girl Next Door podcast's Holiday Self-Care & Vegas Christmas Lightsepisode
In answering Eshana's question about holiday organization, we mentioned our episodes about to-do lists and calendar management and productivity and time management, and we also have an episode about getting organized before the holiday craziness hits (maybe too late for this year, but still some great tips!)
Sarah talked about the internet memes around "Don't say 'sorry' when you mean 'thank you'". Here's an example from Bored Panda, and another from Hello Sunshine

1:03.7	Visit wayfair.com or download the wayfair app that's wayy fayir dot com.
