Join me for our annual Carr Girls’ Cookie Bake — a family tradition built on simple prep, organized spaces, and time spent together. In this post, I’m sharing the personal hacks and steps that keep our day stress-free and full of joy, and how Life. Simply. Planned. can help you create the same ease during the holiday season.

This month’s newsletter takes a festive look back at an incredibly active year — from new homeowners decking their halls for the first time to sellers making smooth moves into their next chapters. December may be the season of twinkle lights and hot cocoa, but it’s also a powerful time for motivated buyers and sellers in a low-inventory market.

A glimpse into the holiday tradition my family started eight years ago—a front-yard tree lighting that helped us meet our neighbors, create memories with our kids, and come together each year to support a meaningful cause.

Your shortcut to a smoother Thanksgiving. Hosting hacks, time-saving tricks, and simple swaps that keep the focus on good food and good company.
