Today we are ushering you into the Holiday Season with an episode full of our tips for how to continue living with intentionality. We broke the episode into 3 categories: gathering, feathering, and guarding your nest.

• Gathering:
  • We tackle a listener question: what are some staples to keep on hand for drop-in guests? (We may or may not get a little carried away here!) 
  • Some encouragement to give yourself a break on the perfection, and really love your people
  • A reminder that an open home normally begins with an invitation, and that we need to seek out the lonely and hurting in our life a little extra this time of year
• Feathering:
  • One of our biggest Christmas decorating tips: delete first!
  • A few tree decoration tips
• Guarding:
  
  • We tackle an often touchy subject- being careful with accepting or declining an invitation, and a reminder to extend grace to our family and friends who may be in a busy season with their kids

We also give a shout out to Annie to congratulate her on her new role, and to our new neighbor-friends who may listen to this episode one day. (OR maybe not- we have no idea who actually listens!)
