Gift giving action planning
Holiday gift giving 2017: let's do this! We chat about who we give gifts to each year and how we plan, track, and manage our gift giving. We both find Google Docs (or Doogle Gocs if you will) to be super helpful. We also got lots of great tips from a recent episode about planning for the holiday by our podcast friends The Mom Hour.
We chat about our wrapping situations and how much of a hot mess they are. Erica had the genius idea to wrap each of her girls' gifts in different wrapping paper. Previous years have been more along the lines of: "I slap anything with a Santa on it and call it good." Kelsey is implementing the genius idea of taking off two days in December to finish all gift-related tasks and enjoy some relaxing Christmas time at home.
Gifts we're excited to give and receive include: prickly pear tote bag, Boys in the Boat, The Royal We, artwork by Lauren Brandy, prism picture frame, Crate and Barrel kid's hot chocolate mug, and wooden state ornaments.
Obsessions
Seeing her girls in long pants after the long summer. Kelsey is loving the Pocket Casts app and listening to More Perfect.
