You Don’t Have to Do All the Things: A special holiday episode with Melissa Camara Wilkins
{Episode 13}
The holidays are here and if, like us, you are feeling just a *little* behind, grab a giant cup of coffee or tea and curl up with this episode! The sisters are joined by Melissa Camara Wilkins, mama of six, writer, homeschooler, and the sisters’ favorite resource for living simply and authentically.
Listen as Melissa shares two questions she asks herself and her family each season to bring joy instead of overwhelm, and as Melissa, Cait, and Kara share their favorite EASY traditions.
Don’t freak out sisters- you’ve got this season!

Your podcast is one of the few I always make sure to listen to. You are kindred spirits! I am often late to listen so only just listened to this podcast this morning and I ended up laughing out loud because I am the baby sock lady (or one of them)! And ladies, that is my one thing I pull off well each year. (And I didn’t keep baby socks either…these were Freecycled.) Anyway, thanks for the laugh. Happy Holidays to you and your families. Your podcast has been a fabulous addition to my morning exercise routine this year.

I can’t figure your site out! Help! Is this really your most recent post? No matter which part of your site I go to (blog, podcast, home), this is the top/most recent post. What’s been going on? It’s been this way for a month or so. I’ve seen more recent posts when I’ve followed links from your Facebook page, I think. Usually I’m looking for your show notes, but it takes forever and weirdness to find them. Just wanted you guys to know something is up.
