Kind of a different format on the podcast today because I wanted to touch base and catch up with you. And I also wanted to talk about how Christmas time while wonderful, can make things wonky. And wonky sometimes makes for lonely or sad feelings. And I just don’t want you to feel lonely or sad. I want you to know everyone feels those confusing Christmas-y feelings sometimes. I've certainly felt them.

Also wanted to share a quick and yummy breakfast idea for Christmas morning. As well as a few ways to deepen conversation around the table. And some last minute gift suggestions. These things and more.

One of the things I love best is introducing you to people like Lana Rush. She is a pastor’s wife, mother to three beautiful girls and spiritual mama to many. She’s a woman full of wisdom and God’s kind of deep joy.

In this episode, she shares honestly about some of her greatest struggles in being the parent of a child with special needs. She opens up about how she and her husband handle the challenges differently and how they’ve managed to stay close despite setbacks.

We also chat about how we make our homes a respite and our love of books. Between the two of us, there are nearly fifty books recommended because we tend to suggest reading the whole series of books we love. That’s a lotta great Christmas present suggestions if you ask me.
