Fake Trees, Real Stress, and a Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting with Author Danielle Frank

Finals week has officially hit, tensions are high, and the holidays are in full swing. This week, the sisters cover it all—from stressed-out kids and moody households to the eternal debate over real vs. fake Christmas trees (Lynne has very strong feelings and zero regrets).

Kathy shares the story behind her family’s legendary peanut brittle (yes, it’s better than See’s), Nancy admits her black-thumb struggles while marveling at Kathy’s green one, and we break down the hits and total misses of Elf on the Shelf.

We’re also joined by Danielle Frank, author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting, for a smart, funny conversation about managing wine, parenting chaos, and expectations during the busiest season of the year.

Plus: what’s for dinner (Nancy’s MacGyver Chicken Taco Burritos), a birthday jingle for Lynne’s final year in her 50s, and the kind of real-life holiday talk every parent needs right now.
