Evening Routines Lately: Episode 507



Does a peaceful evening beget a better morning? Let’s find out. Today Meagan and Sarah talk about our evening routines lately, and next week we’ll do the same with mornings. Now that our kids are older, we try to make time for the little things that make winding down feel calm and intentional. Plus, we share how we shut down our homes and families for the night, and how our loved ones—both human and animal—fit into the mix. Nighty-night!
