REALISTIC Mom Curating a Calm, Non-Anxious Christmas
I’m working on some extra videos for Vlogmas, so I thought I’d do a little casual “realistic” tour and chit chat with you about Christmas, and what it looks like for our family as we let go of making it “magical” and embrace making it “meaningful”.

*I used my slow cooker with the saute function so I could brown the ground beef, and simmer the broth with the beer in it before changing it over to slow cook function. I might just sub beef broth next time for the beer.

About Me//
If you’re looking for extraordinary, you’ve come to the wrong place. I’m just a regular ole’ gal in the middle of America, follower of Christ, wife to Daniel, and mom to three delightful children: Ruthie, McKenna, and Brick. In 2018, Daniel and I packed up our family and moved across the state to Tulsa. I decided to take a brief hiatus from my teaching career and start a YouTube channel as a new hobby and creative outlet. My “brief hiatus” became indefinite as the channel grew, and I knew where God was calling me: to make helpful content that is kind, positive, and realistic.
