As our kids grow up, holiday traditions start to shift; as they enter adulthood and begin their own lives, the shifts get even bigger and they’re naturally accompanied by all kinds of feelings. Join Meagan and Sarah as we share honest thoughts on how we envision ‘holiday mom life’ evolving over the next few decades. We look back at our own young adult years, attempt to predict which of our kids might bail on Christmas first, and reflect on how we hope to balance family togetherness with acceptance and letting go.

Staying Connected With Tweens, Teens & Beyond: Episode 482
As kids get older, what it looks like to stay connected to them changes.

In today’s episode, Meagan and Sarah share how we stay connected to our preteen, teen, and young adult children. From car ride convos and binge-watching shows to family group texts, we’re sharing tips and stories on staying connected.
