As we continue to move into the holiday season, Sarah Clarkson joins Jennifer Pepito in episode 110 of the Restoration Home Podcast. We're excited to bring another episode rich with the magic and mores of a peaceful Christmas.

Sarah offers a unique perspective on celebrating Christmas, holiday traditions from the Clarkson home, and bringing different cultures and customs into her family's celebration.

Beyond the holidays, she also brings her love and passion for technological boundaries, creating purposeful space in her day, and finding ways to differentiate days for the sake of becoming more aware of ourselves, our families, and our lives.

This is a great conversation, and we hope it blesses and inspires you.

Many of my adult friends have an ambivalent relationship with the Christmas season. Why is that? It's often because their mothers were stressed and anxious about achieving a "perfect Christmas."

In a recent discussion, Diane Boden, the creator of the Minimalist Mom's Podcast, joined Jennifer Pepito to talk about how to create a minimalist Christmas. The focus is on planning, creating meaningful moments for your family, and choosing what brings you joy and connection.

During the holiday season, there are numerous external pressures—from the vast selection of Christmas decorations at stores like Target to expectations from family and the community. It's easy to say yes to everything, buy more than you need, or feel guilty about your actions.

Don't let yourself fall into that trap. Avoid letting the pursuit of the "perfect holiday season" turn you into a frazzled mom. Instead, aim for simplicity so your children aren't left wishing for more relaxed times and a happier mom.
