Shayla and Andrea discuss creating easy and fun memories without burning out. Women are often driven to create memories for their families and friends, but the last thing we need is more stress to be a magical memory-making machine. Andrea is a married mom of two boys; family time means everything to her. She is a published author, speaker, and online content creator who loves to help women make their days easier and a lot more fun! Andrea embraces joy in everyday moments, whether preparing an easy meal, planning family travel, or sitting on her front porch. In this episode, she’s helping us all lighten up, say yes, and have fun. 

We discuss everything from the Updykes’ adventure of traveling the country in their travel trailer during COVID-19 to planning easy family vacations, keeping food simple without sacrificing fun, and more.

This episode will warm your heart, lighten your load, and hopefully invite you into a stress-free holiday season.
