162. Cozy Christmas Episode: Handmade Gifts, Family Traditions, Savoring the Season | Nicole of Frontier Dreams

If you are craving that cozy, sacred feeling that comes along with the Christmas season, you will definitely want to join Nicole and me for this conversation about all things cozy Christmas.  On her Instagram, Nicole shares so beautifully about the creativity and joy of living a simple, homemade life.  In this conversation, we chat all about making the most out of these colder months and the winter holidays– what we do on long evenings at home, how we celebrate Christmas with our families, what we are excited about in the kitchen.  Nicole has a wealth of ideas for unique family traditions surrounding Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, and more.   I know this episode will get your wheels turning about new ways to celebrate the season in your own home, just like it did for me.
