Holiday Kickoff: Cozy Traditions, Low-Stress Gifting, and the Ultimate Early-Momming Gift Guide

Navigating the holidays with a bump or a brand-new baby? In this episode, Hillary and Erica kick off the season with calm, cozy, doable ideas—plus their ultimate gift guide for expecting moms, fourth-trimester recovery, new dads, and babies through toddlers.

Hillary (two November babies!) shares what actually made the season feel special—not stressful—while Erica (37 weeks pregnant) talks about setting expectations with family, picking just one or two "anchor traditions," and saying yes only when it serves your recovery and sanity. They also swap real-life gift ideas that feel thoughtful, supportive, and actually useful.
