Have you been meaning to watch old holiday film classics but never get around to it? Or are you just as disturbed as we are by some of the mid-century Christmas TV programming (looking at you, Rudolph)? In Episode 31 Meagan and Sarah talk about our favorite – and not-so-much – holiday movies, TV, books, and music. Join us!
BEYOND At Home
Meagan mentioned that we’ll be doing some holiday special mini-episodes of The Mom Hour, so look for those later this month! She also let it slip that she’s leading a virtual retreat beginning in January and that podcast listeners will get a special discount when it launches. Be sure to subscribe to The Mom Hour if you haven’t already!
