A deeply personal look at the National Gingerbread Competition, motherhood, and the kind of friendship that grows with you.

Blissful breakfasts, slow afternoons, pockets of magic — plus the small frictions parents need to know before booking.

Motherhood shifts everything. Your priorities, your body, your sense of self — and quietly but powerfully — your friendships.

As a mom of two, these are the products that make me smile and bring cheer to me and my girls this holiday.

Whether she loves lipstick, serums or a fancy skincare device, these top beauty picks of 2025 will make her glow this holiday.

Whether they make everyday life easier and smoother or give her a much needed moment to exhale, these gifts get the message right: we see you, mom.

From olive oils to oysters, these are the indulgences that make cooking (and life) richer.

Because moms don’t need another novelty mug or bath bomb — they need gifts that make their lives a little easier, lighter, and more seen.

Moms are the magic of the holiday season — and they deserve to take a moment to relax during all of the festive chaos. For the mama who never stops moving, these gifts encourage her to pause.

Reminder: your self-care matters during the holidays, too. Especially in busy times, these gift ideas give you the exhale you need.
